The Creston Pet Adoption and Welfare Society (PAWS) is a registered, non-profit society committed to finding safe, loving, forever homes for abandoned and unwanted animals in the Creston Valley. PAWS serves an area of approximately 3500 square miles and our goal is to establish Claudia's Place, a full service animal facility in the Creston Valley. Everyone at PAWS is a volunteer and we operate on a budget funded by volunteer fundraising, donations and grants only.

Ushi  I'm a PAWS Pet! Click here to find out more about me. Ushi appears to be a Border Collie/Chow mix, probably 4 to 6 years old and in good health. Loves to play ball, loves to run and be groomed. Great on leash, very respectful of people's stuff, toys, polite with food and sits and gives a paw. Very good at PetWash. Excellent on car rides. Has now been neutered. He is overcoming his discomfort with kids. We suspect that in his former life as a tied dog he may have been teased and/or mistreated by children. He's a very smart dog: has learned "Step, stop, step stop" on stairs just like a service dog. He sits pretty, hands out his paws when clipping his slippers (he had very furry toes, so they have been trimmed, he now has elegant paws). On the lighter side, he picks up his dish when hungry and asks for food! He waits before entering the house when instructed (letting resident dog Shadow go in in front of him ,how "gentleman like!" ) Ushi has become a very nice dog, he will make someone a very nice family pet. p.s. the obstacle course is brilliant for Ushi! he does best with the tunnel, 'cause Liam leaves him a big bone at the end of the tunnel, as a reward. Speed! this dog loves speed!
