PET DOG ADOPTION

We believe that PAWS dogs have a purpose and enjoy the work that they do! Our goal is for most PAWS dogs to be placed in a career that is right for them. However, our experienced staff will sometimes determine that a dog is not suited for a career, so we will place the dog in a home as a pet. 

PAWS pet dogs are not to be trained or utilized for any other type of work, including therapy, social support, or other Assistance Dog work. These dogs may be unable to complete training for medical reasons, such as allergies or hip dysplasia, or they may exhibit behaviors that are not suitable for working dogs. We are not able to make any guarantee about how the dog will behave in your home based on the training they have received. If the dog is being placed as a pet due to medical reasons, these reasons will be disclosed to you if your application is approved.  

If you are interested in adopting one of the dogs below, please fill out the application and our team will contact you. Applications will only apply to the dog you filled out an application for and will not be kept on file after that dog has been placed with someone.

Dating Profile
My name is Ricco… Ricco Suave, but you can call me tonight! I’m here to make sure that every moment of the rest of your life is a dream. Nobody can resist the charms of my big brown eyes, wagging tail, and curly white hair. I’m a shmoovin’ groovin’ lady’s man, flirting my way to love in everyone’s heart. I embrace a life of liberty, and I’m always ready to party: I throw down hot dance moves that make everyone smile, my special step is to jump up and do jazz paws when we’re excited. If you’re the romantic sort and want to take a long walk on the beach, I’m always ready to chase some waves, but I’m also happy to stay in, cuddle up, watch a movie, and eat plenty of popcorn, too! Give me a massage and I’m happy in your hands—with my adoring gaze, you’ll soon be putty in my paws. I have a collar, you have a leash… think of the possibilities. Here I am, waiting for you!
