Story
Name: Cali from Payroll (Pays in Chaos and Affection) 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
Xena is so lovely and gentle! She was found lost and is on an adventure to find true love and a playmate. She's very sweet and friendly, loves pets and head scratches, is a joy to walk, and has lots of play energy. So far, we've discovered she likes to run big zoomies and play fetch with a squeaky plushie. Xena appears housetrained, knows sit, and will thrive with lots of affection, walks, play, and other ways to be active. She has lived well with cats but her past is unknown with dogs and kids, we recommend older kids and no dog parks (bring your dog to visit). Come visit this very special, wonderful girl and see if you've always been meant for each other!April 24, 2026, 6:18 pm

Story
Maverick is a handsome boy who may be a little shy at first, but once he feels comfortable, his personality really shines through. He’s very active and loves to play, but he also has a bit of a “Velcro dog” side and prefers to be close to his people as much as possible.Because of this, Maverick is looking for a home that understands his need for connection and can help him channel his energy in positive ways. He does have some sensitivity around resources, so he would do best in a home with older kids (14+) who can respect his space and boundaries. With structure, patience, and plenty of playtime, Maverick is sure to be an incredibly loyal and engaging companion.April 24, 2026, 6:18 pm
