My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This little gal is Mama Mia; a timid, cuddly, and sweet soul. Mama Mia is a 3-year-old, 12 lb. chihuahua. She came to CAWS in February and gave birth to 4 healthy babies. After being a great mom, all of her puppies have been adopted and now it's her turn! Mia gets along fine with most other dogs, but she's not really interested in playing with other pups. She's more interested in being with her person. Mia loves nothing more than cuddling up under warm blankets. We don't know much about her backstory, but even after 6 months in foster care, she is still quite shy and still working on building her confidence. She will need a patient and gentle adoptor to help her feel safe and comfortable. Mia relies on her bark to defend herself from new things and new situations. Big and fast movements terrify her too, so small children are not a good fit for her forever home. Despite her initial timid demeanor, once she trusts you, she'll be yours forever. Mia's loving personality and gentle spirit will make her a wonderful addition to a mature household. She is crate trained and mostly house trained. With a little patience and a lot of love, Mia will be the best friend you've ever had!

Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-served basis. We strive to find the perfect home for each animal. Applications may take up to 48 hours to process. ALL CAWS animals are fixed, microchipped, and vaccinated. Her adoption fee is $200.

Additional adoption info

Since we make a lifetime commitment to any animal that comes into our program, we only adopt out animals to people in our area..

If you are interested in adopting a CAWS cat or dog, please fill out the online application at http://www.caws.org/application/, email adopt@caws.org or call 328-4731. For the most timely response applying online is recommended.

We respond as quickly as possible but as we are a volunteer based organization and do not have full time staff, we respond as quickly as possible.

Go meet their pets

CAWS does not have a conventional shelter facility - all CAWS animals waiting for adoption are in foster homes. The number of animals we can help find new homes for is closely linked to how many CAWS foster homes are available. For additional information regarding how you, too, can become a foster, please see our fostering page located on our web site!

CAWS volunteers bring cats and dogs to the PetSmart near 2100 South and 300 West in South Salt Lake on the third and fourth weekends of each month

We are also at the Sugarhouse PETCO (1165 Wilmington Ave) the first Saturday of each month.
