Story

Name: Cali Breed: Lab Mix Sex: Spayed Female Age: 1 year Weight: 38 lbs Animal Number: 4381 Energetic Love Bug, Snuggler, Fast Learner Good with dogs? Yes, she loves dogs and is curious and non-reactive when meeting new dogs on leash. She will correct other dogs if they push her. When playing, she’ll do best with other dogs who match her high energy level. Good with cats? Not Tested Good with kids? Not Tested Energy level: Medium to High. She enjoys playing for extended periods of time and taking long walks, and will do well with an active adopter. She loves to jump and could clear a 6 foot fence if she tried! She does well with tough chew toys since her play style can involve mouthiness. Animal Characteristics: Cali is an energetic love bug and snuggle pup. She loves to meet new people, will jump up, shower you with kisses, and never turns down an opportunity for cuddling. She is food motivated, eager to please, smart, and a quick learner! She is learning her best manners, knows the command “sit,” is learning “lay down” and “come,” and is working on crate training. Cali’s coat was feeling itchy and feels much better now that she’s taking an inexpensive daily fish supplement. She is a joyful young pup who will benefit from continued training in her loving forever home, and may enjoy a doggie companion and playmate. Please learn more about the adoption process and fill out an application at www.pawsco.org/adopt/adoption-process. You can also contact my friends at PawsCo at adopt@pawscoadoptions.org if you have questions. I look forward to meeting you!

Story

Name: Boo Radley Breed: Black Lab / Boxer Mix Sex: Neutered Male Age: 13 years Weight: 70 lbs Animal Number: 0510 Sweet, Friendly, Happy, Easy, Loving Senior Gentleman with Plenty of Pep! Good with dogs? Boo Radley is very friendly and well-mannered. He is excited to meet new dogs when he’s out walking on leash. It’s good to ask if the other dog is ready to meet a super happy Boo. When he meets another excited dog, he’ll be delighted to play, and when he meets a calm dog, he’ll sniff and move on. Good with cats? Not Tested in foster care, but he saw a cat and was excited to meet him. Reportedly he did well with cats in his prior home. He is very sweet and would likely do well with any other nice animals, following a proper introduction. Good with kids? Boo absolutely loves kids! He is excited to meet them, but in an appropriately calm way. Energy level: Medium, and happily energetic for a senior boy! Boo enjoys taking walks and has adorable zoomie sessions. He will lie down and relax after a walk. He takes pain meds twice daily for his hips, so although he knows how to “sit,” it’s kindest not to ask him to get into that position. He is more interested in hanging out with people than playing with toys. Animal Characteristics: Boo Radley is one of the friendliest, happiest dogs you will ever meet! He loves to meet new people everywhere he goes, including on walks, at the pumpkin patch and at the vet. At home, he’ll either follow you around, keeping you company and asking for pets, or he’ll snuggle up and nap next to you. He has not yet been observed barking. He likes his crate and will sleep in it, but prefers that the door be left open. He is a fast learner and extremely food motivated! He learned the command “touch,” which he loves. Boo is always wagging his tail, smiling and ready to make your day full of joy and love. This precious boy lost his home when his family split up and he cannot wait to find his true forever person or family. He will thrive in an environment with people who want to love him and give him lots of attention, as so greatly he deserves! Please learn more about the adoption process and fill out an application at www.pawsco.org/adopt/adoption-process. You can also contact my friends at PawsCo at adopt@pawscoadoptions.org if you have questions. I look forward to meeting you!

Carmella

Border Collie

Female, 2 yrs 9 mos

Denver, CO

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Name: Carmella Breed: Border Collie Sex: Female Age: 2 year old Weight: 45 lbs. Carmella has some behavioral needs, and she's available for adoption or through a foster-to-adopt arrangement. Good with dogs? Carmella will need a slow introduction to other dogs Good with cats? No Good with kids? Not tested but based on her behavior with meeting new people we would recommend she go to a kid free home. Energy level: High. Carmella is a driven Border Collie with a strong need for mental stimulation. She would thrive in a home where she has a job to do—bonus points if her adopter is interested in helping her learn how to herd! With her high energy and working-dog instincts, Carmella would love nothing more than a purpose-filled life where she can stay active and engaged. Animal Characteristics: Carmella is a beautiful, sensitive soul searching for someone special to help her shine. This shy girl hasn’t had the easiest start, and she’s still learning to trust the world around her. When meeting new people, Carmella can be fearful— but with patience, structure, and love, she begins to open up. Her ideal home will be with an experienced, compassionate adopter committed to continuing her training and providing slow, gentle introductions to new people and situations. Carmella isn’t the kind of dog who will greet you with tail wags and kisses on day one — but if you give her time and understanding, you’ll earn the love of a truly loyal companion. Please learn more about the adoption process and fill out an application at www.pawsco.org/adopt/adoption-process. I look forward to meeting you!
