Story
Hi, I'm Minnie, a 9-year-old chihuahua who may be small, but don't let that fool you, because when it comes to love and personality, I'm anything but! I'm a sweet, social little lady who adores being close to my people, whether that means cuddling, hanging out, or supervising from a cozy spot. I enjoy playtime, appreciate gentle attention, and I'm very good at making myself right at home in your lap (it's kind of my signature move). If you're looking for a loyal companion who proves that the best things really do come in Minnie packages, I'm ready to make your life a whole lot cuter.*Qualifies for Pets for Patriots program*Qualifies for Senior to Senior programPlease email Adoptions@saltlakecounty.gov with questions Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: White Weight: 6.125 Age: 9yrs 0mths 1wks

Story
Meet Woofgang Puck, or just Puck for short! This lovable 8-year-old Chihuahua mix is a little bundle of joy, possibly with a sprinkle of Beagle in his genes. At first, Puck may come off as shy, but give him a moment, and his playful side will shine like a star! Puck adores his toys and loves to get into some light-hearted trouble—just picture him as the life of the party! He enjoys his naps, but don’t let him miss out on the fun; after all, who wants to snooze through an adventure? He loves being outside, but keep an eye on him—if the yard isn’t secure, he might go on his own mini explorations. And be careful! If a door is left open, he’s ready to dash out! When it comes to other dogs, Puck needs a little help. He has a tendency to “assist” them with their meals, which can be quite annoying. His friendly greetings can be a bit much—he barks, jumps, and wags his tail enthusiastically, which may confuse his canine pals. With some training, he can learn to tone it down. He’s also learning how to handle his protective instincts, but if you have other pets, be prepared to guide him through it. Puck is quite the jumper when he’s excited and might unexpectedly leap onto you, giving playful nips at your legs! He listens when corrected but often forgets the rules once the fun starts again. While he’s crate trained, Puck feels much more comfortable snoozing on a cozy bed rather than being confined to a crate. Sleeping in your bed isn’t something he’s into just yet. The good news is, he’s house trained and will let you know when it’s time to go out. Puck does have a heart murmur and takes medication twice a day for it. He can get a bit anxious, especially when being picked up or during car rides, and sitting on laps isn’t really his scene. This sweet boy is looking for a forever home filled with love, patience, and understanding. With your support, Puck will be ready for short hikes and exciting adventures with his favorite human! Puck has been neutered, is current on vaccines, has tested negative for heartworm and is microchipped. He also had a recent dental and lost a few teeth. If you are interested in adopting Puck, please complete an adoption application on our website. Just go to uaaf.org/adopt.

*Nuggie is temporarily living in a foster home until they find their family. If you would like to meet Nuggie, we recommend scheduling an appointment with one of our Adoptions Specialists, so we can ensure they are here to meet you when you arrive. Please click “Adopt Nuggie” to complete an interest survey and one of our Adoptions Specialists will connect with you to set up an appointment!* Meet Golden Nugget, a senior dog with a heart of gold and a personality as rich and layered as his name suggests. While he has a sweet and loyal side, he also knows exactly what he likes—and what he doesn’t. He’s independent, spirited, and full of character, just like you'd expect from a classic Chihuahua. Golden Nugget is friendly on his own terms, often forming strong bonds with his favorite people. He’s sharp as a tack and still enjoys exploring his surroundings with youthful curiosity. Once you’re in his circle, you’ll find a fiercely loyal companion who brings joy, laughter, and a whole lot of heart into your life. He’ll thrive in a home that appreciates his quirks, respects his space, and is willing to advocate for him with others. Whether that means letting guests know he needs a little time to warm up or ensuring he has a quiet spot to retreat to, Golden Nugget does best with someone who understands and honors his boundaries. Adopting Golden Nugget means embracing a dog with opinions, charm, and endless personality—and gaining a devoted, one-of-a-kind friend for life.

Story
Meet Popcorn A Tiny Dog with a Big PersonalityPopcorn is a 10-pound Chihuahua with a big heart and a soft spot for cats. At first glance, you'll notice how adorable he is – but this little guy is more than just a cute face. Popcorn is looking for a patient, experienced home that understands the unique needs of a senior pup who’s had to figure life out on his own terms.Popcorn has cataracts and limited vision, so he startles easily – especially if he's woken up abruptly. For this reason, he’s not a fit for homes with children or a home that has many visitors and will need a calm, quiet environment where he can feel safe. Once he trusts you (and that might take some time – think weeks or even months), he’ll allow gentle pets and might even sneak in a snuggle on his terms.He’s very food-motivated, which helps with building trust, but he’s also protective of his meals and treats, so he must be fed separately from other pets. Popcorn loves cats and would absolutely thrive in a feline-friendly home. He’s cautious with dogs but can coexist peacefully after a respectful introduction.Popcorn isn’t a social butterfly, but he does fine when visitors come over – as long as they don’t try to engage with him directly. His ideal adopter will be someone who respects his boundaries, moves at his pace, and is okay with earning his love slowly but surely.If you’re a cat-loving human with a quiet home and a heart big enough for a little dog who just needs time and understanding, Popcorn might just be your perfect match.Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-serve 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. His adoption fee is $200.
