CUDDLE CHampions
Our Furry Friends
Scout (Nickname: Scooter)
Owner: Tony
Scout was rescued from Manitoba in 2019 through the Toronto based organization, Save our Scruff . His DNA test said that he’s a mix of Shih Tzu, Malamute, German Shepherd, Rottweiler and Samoyed – and surprisingly, no Border Collie!
On the weekends he loves to head to the beach to swim in the lake, chew on sticks, dig in the sand, and make new friends. While he’s always a gentleman, when he’s an extra good boy he gets a puppuccino on the way home.
Sir Robin Of Loxley (Nickname: Loxley)
Owner: Ross
Loxley is a goldendoodle hailing from Ferndale, Washington. Loxley was the subject of Jerry Springer-esque ‘Who is the Father’ episode when it came to his parents!
After a dramatic paternity test and a couple of onstage punch ups, Loxley’s true father was revealed and his status as a medium sized goldendoodle vs standard size was confirmed. Loxley turns 10 in June!
Omaggio’s American Dream AKA Mia (NicknamE: Snuggledog, Miapuppy, Goober)
Owner: Emily
Mia is a purebred Cane Corso (pronounced CAH-nay COR-so), which is an Italian Mastiff breed. She was born in October 2019 and weighs just over 130 lbs. Both her momma and pop are champion show dogs (yes, the movie Best in Show is an accurate representation). She is one of four girls in her litter and one of her sisters is a breed champion already!
Mia won’t be a show dog, she is considered a companion. Her favorite things are munching green beans, playing fetch, snuggling on the couch, and naps. Mia is a guardian breed, so if you come over unannounced, you’ll hear her big WOOF to alert us of your presence.
When she’s not napping in the sunshine or playing in snow, she loves splashing in Cherry Creek in downtown Denver. She looks intimidating, but really she just wants love and affection.
