Miko (Pazataz 09-075)

Profile

RAGOM welcomes Pazataz along with his two brothers (Taz 09 074 and Cappucino 09 073). They came to RAGOM via a shelter after being found along side a road. Paz is 10 weeks old and a typical puppy. He plays hard with his brother Taz who is also in our home. They wrestle non stop and then totally sack out! It is so fun to watch them learn and explore together. Paz is the smaller of the bunch and has short hair and short legs. A guess at the mix would be Golden/Lab and maybe something else thrown in. Hard to tell and we don't really care when we have adorable puppies such as these! Paz is a bit braver but just as much of a snuggle bunny. He wraps himself around his brother to sleep--where ever they happen to drop.

Pazataz was neutered and microchipped at the shelter. Many shelters are doing that at earlier ages now to assure that they don't add to the overpopulation of unwanted pets. Paz was about to be adopted so they went ahead with his neuter. The adoption fell through so Paz is the only one of these boys neutered. He is very healthy except for a puppy skin infection. Paz gets antibiotics for that and will be rechecked at the vet tomorrow. The itching makes him miserable at times and it breaks my heart to hear him whining as he scratches!

If you are interested in a happy, silly healthy puppy please contact placementatragom [dot] org.

Little Paz has gone to his forever home!  What a lucky boy to find such a wonderful family!  Adam and Jessica volunteer for Helping Paws and have a 4 year old Golden girl who will gradually warm up to the puppy. :)  I can't wait to see who he turns out to be when he grows up!  Have a GReat life Mr. Paz!  We miss you already.

Guess what?!  I met a family tonight and I really liked them!  I snuggled right into their laps and gave them puppy kisses.  I think they liked me too!  Well, maybe their dog wasn't so sure about me, but I know I can win her over in no time.  She is a very well-trained girl and she will teach me the ropes. 

Foster mom finally got a picture of me stalking my brother, Taz.  He doesn't even have a clue that I am coming after him!  I pounce right on his head too!  We play really hard and love to be outside.  Then we snuggle in for a snooze together.  I know I will miss him when I find my forever family but I will not forget the fun we had.

Cross your paws that this family loves me!  I'll let you know tomorrow and maybe I will be in my very own house by then!

Paz is having a great time here with his brother! It's nice they have each other to play with as my residents don't think they are quite as fun as I do! Paz is the braver of the two and was not a bit frightened by the vacuum cleaner. The hammer made him run but he came right back to explore it. Whatever is in his DNA, it must include some hunting lines. He stalks Taz! He stands still, crouched with his little paw raised, takes a slinky step forward, and raises the other paw. Taz's response is to play bow and jump at him. It is so funny - I have to get a picture. He is also a fierce wrestler! 

Paz is suffering a bit from mange--very itchy! I feel so bad for him but the vet says the treatment should clear up his symptoms within a week or so. It doesn't slow him down! He loves to be outside and sit in an old planter full of dirt. He chews on anything he can find, of course. Paz keeps his kennel clean at night and when I am away for a few hours during the day. He actually looked like he was going to do his business in the house tonight and then went running for the backdoor. I let him out and he took care of it! Good boy! But I am not fooling myself and know he is weeks away from being house trained. 

Paz is also a snuggler. He knows he has to sit before getting picked up so it is rare for him to jump. When he is being cradled, he just snuggles right in and you can hold him in any position--no squirming.
If you can handle the training and attention a puppy needs and also have the snuggly love he deserves, let your Placement Coordinator know and we can meet up!
