My story

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

Meet Vecna, a 6-year-old pup with a heart full of love and a spirit just waiting to shine! This 67 pound lovebug has been living in a bustling home with adults and a playful toddler, who proved to be too unpredictable for Vecna. He can get nervous and defensive if he gets overstimulated so a home without young children is his preference.

Sometimes his nervousness gets the better of him and then he gets pretty territorial with food and toys. He’d love some help in learning he doesn’t have to guard anything. He also does not like to be approached or touched while lying down and does best when he knows he has a quiet place to retreat when he needs to recharge.

Vecna loves to play-wrestle and to play (and play, and play) to help him channel his big energy. He would be happy with another dog who is confident and patient to help him understand how to be his best. This devastatingly handsome boy can be a little shy but he’s brimming with potential. He is super smart and quickly learns new tricks, so long as treats are involved! He’ll need a home willing to help him expend his energy in healthy ways, learn and keep good boundaries, and teach him that new situations (or dogs and humans) are nothing to fear. He’ll reward you with his hilarious and endearing personality. Want examples: he hops like a bunny when he's hyper and excited and loves when his humans stomp their feet to start playing with him. He will show his love with the dog-lean against you - like a hug! Use a laser pointer to get him into a comedic chase scene. He loves his scritches and if you right the right spot, he’ll kick his leg out to show his gratitude.

If you’re seeking a sweet, energetic companion who will bring joy and adventure to your life, Vecna is ready to hop into your heart! Come meet him today and start your own adventure together!

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.
