Adopt-A-Dog

Baloo
Male DOB: 9/17/2023.
A Great Dane X pup, I’m an affectionate, cuddly gentle giant (90 lbs.) who loves nothing more than being with my people, big and small. To know me is to LOVE me!

Although I haven’t met many cats and dogs, I’m cool with the ones I’ve met. I’m a healthy goofball with no bad habits (well, maybe a little digging if left unsupervised long enough), am housetrained, and know my basic commands.

I was surrendered because a sudden change in the household made it impossible to give me the life I deserve.

Won’t you call PAWS to meet me? You can also download an application at pawscreston.ca > adopt.

Bounty
Male DOB: 8/16/2018.
Bounty is a 6-year-old Shibu Inu/German Shepherd mix. He's a little nervous with new things and people, but once he gets used to things, he's happy to follow his people around and get his pets in. He loves to play ball and will even bring it back. He knows his basic commands and is eager to please. He initially is a little more wary of men, but warms up pretty quickly. Bounty is neutered and up to date with his vaccines. If you think Bounty would be the perfect addition to your family, please call us to meet him. 250-428-7297. In the meantime, you can also fill out an adoption form at https://pawscreston.ca/docs/AdoptionApplicationDOGApril2024Fillable.pdf

Boyo
Male DOB: 7/19/2019.
A friendly Catahoula X, Boyo loves to play, and he loves people. His owner died suddenly, and he was surrendered to PAWS. He's about 4.5 years old. All we know about his previous life, other than he's healthy (saw a vet fairly regularly) is that he was an indoor/outdoor dog who slept with his owner and has never been in a crate.

At PAWS, he's shown himself to be a sweet, gentle boy who loves to play catch (chooses not to bring the item back!), knows his commands, walks well on a leash, and loves to follow the volunteers around.

Catahoula's are known to be great family dogs as they are affectionate, loyal, and great with children. Being very bright, they also need mental stimulation and activity.

If you'd like to meet Boyo, please call us at 250-428-7297.

Billy
Male DOB: 12/5/2022. I have Special Requirements.
Hi! Billy here. You probably know by now that I’ve been looking for a forever home since January.

I’m a little downhearted to report that there has been NO INTEREST to foster or foster-to-adopt me.

Things are getting a little difficult for me because the resident cat has started to attack me. Because I’m so gentle, I put up with it.

My foster parents are beside themselves, as they can’t keep me much longer and can’t bear the thought of me having to go back to kennel life.

I am slowly overcoming my fear of small dogs. I walk with my foster mom and her mom with her two little dogs, and I do great! However, because of this fear, I MUST always wear a muzzle in public. I’m okay with that–it makes me feel safe and secure.

As I’m a Border Collie X, as expected I’m very smart, I listen well, and I’m eager to please. I’m a real people person. I love car rides and the a/c, but not windows (We all have our quirks!). I love, love, love to play, especially fetch! It’s the perfect time to sneak in training, as I love a job!

While I live with cats, I’d prefer to be the only pet. I get lonely when I’m home alone, so I welcome the security of my crate during my alone times.

I’d love a home with a family that can keep me active and mentally stimulated. I know that home is out there. My foster mom tells me all the time that I’m an amazing dog and deserve a forever home!

Please email or call PAWS to let them know you’d like to talk with the dog director and my foster mom about me.

Genie
Female DOB: 1/1/2018. I have Special Requirements.
Genie is a pretty Shepherd X girl who didn't grow up around people for the first few years of her life. She's come a long way in learning to trust people and has lost much of her uneasiness around them.

Because she came with no history, we estimate her to be about 7 or 8 years old now. She's very healthy and her hips are great.

When she trusts you, she’ll be happy to hang with you and even likes to be petted. She’s comfortable with most dogs.

She needs a structured environment, as a change in her routine can be stressful. She has channelled her inner Houdini a couple of times when she first came, so a secure, fenced yard is a must. A dog door to a fenced area would be perfect, as a leash is a no-go.

Her perfect home would be with an older person that will offer her a low-key lifestyle. For example, a large, fenced yard and a doggie door rather than daily walks would be ideal. This girl would be thrilled to sit with you and watch TV.

If you think you can offer Genie the home she’s been looking for, please give us a call. She also fits the criteria for our Senior 4 Senior program as a permanent foster or she can be adopted to the right home at a reduced rate.

We think Genie has given up hope of finding her forever family as she’s settled into shelter life. She doesn’t bark or show much interest when strangers come near her kennel. She likely feels safe, cared for, and knows that she’s loved by the volunteers. However, shelter life is NO life, and we want nothing more than for her to know the joy of having a forever family.

Give PAWS a call to meet her.
