My story

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

Meet Arlo!

Arlo is a 1-year-old Afghan Hound mix with a big heart, a playful spirit, and a lot of love to give. Weighing between 70-80 lbs, this sweet boy is still learning the ropes of being a well-behaved pup, but his progress so far has been amazing.

Arlo is crate trained and knows the 'heel' command, though he’s still mastering leash manners and house training. He’s a young, high-energy dog who thrives on exercise and loves running around, especially in a securely fenced yard. His favorite activities include playing tug-of-war and bouncing around like an excited bunny—a sight that will melt your heart!

While Arlo is working on building his confidence, he’s already made strides in overcoming his initial anxiety. He’s especially sweet with children and would do great with an active family, ideally one with older kids who can join in his playful antics.

Arlo does have a few quirks: he can be reactive with other dogs, doesn’t have strong recall, and needs calming chews for nail trims. But with patience, training, and love, these behaviors can improve as he continues to grow and learn.

What makes Arlo truly special is his resilience. Despite experiencing early trauma, he has shown incredible progress and will blossom further in a safe, loving home. His new family will need to help him feel secure and continue his training while embracing his playful, goofy personality.

If you’re looking for an energetic, sweet, and loyal companion to share your adventures, Arlo just might be the perfect match!

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.
