Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Arrooo Aarooo Rrooo! That’s the sound that I make, as I don’t bark very often. My name is Aquarius Cato and I am sweet little Basenji mix. I was listed as an Akita mix when I was smaller by the shelter, but foster mom is pretty convinced I'm a Besenji mix! I am almost 6 months old and a little bit shy, a little bit outgoing and a whole lot of spunk. My full grown weight should be around 30-35 lbs. If you haven’t heard of a Basenji before, then I suggest you head to Google because we are one of the most unique breeds, and in fact, have the closest DNA to a wolf of all domestic dogs. Of course there is a chance I’m not a basenji or an Akita, a dna test is probably the best way to tell.   This is why my foster mom thinks this. Basenji’s are often called cats, they are high energy, can climb (not kidding) and make very unique sounds. Because I’m a mix I do bark on occasion but mostly you’ll find that I howl when I want something, when I need something, and when I wanna tell you something. Because of my vocal voice, apartment living is NOT for me. Oh and if I hear sirens, expect to hear me sing a beautiful song to them.   My foster mom says that I have excelled in potty training and she fully believes that in my forever home, I will also excel if you keep my day structured and continue crate training. Which I am already crate trained. I love to take naps in my crate, I sleep at night in my crate and I often take my bone in the crate if the doors is open and I’m already done playing.   I love to snuggle when I’m done playing and love toys and can chew bones for hours. I’ve only been on a few walks so far and my foster mom said I did pretty awesome for a puppy. I was a little scared, but I loved all the smells and I could see myself doing this multiple times every day. I’ve also had a pup cup and loved that and hope that I can find a forever family that will take me to get them when I’m a really good girl.   I currently live with two cats and get along well with them, I also have three doggy foster siblings and have met a handful of other dogs. Basenjis aren’t known to be the best socializers however I have done pretty well and once I get over howling at a new dog, I enjoy trying to play with them   Four words that describe me are intelligent, independent, vocal and energetic.   If you were looking for an active pup, who will be your best buddy. I’m your girl so please apply at https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication Apply to meet me at https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 29, 2025, 11:39 am

Story
Kamilla is a 3 year old Akita Shepherd. I love her with all of my heart and she is the sweetest little girl. Sadly we have to find her a new home because we just had a baby and he is showing allergies. She is potty trained and crate trained. She is so good with kids. She is so sweet with them and is very patient with them. She does not bark. She will howl when you leave her for a while. She loves stuffed animals and doesn’t destroy them! She will cuddle with them. She loves blankets and belly scratches. She is very well trained. She sits, lays down, shakes. She knows she isnt allowed on the couch (picture was taken before we trained her). She sleeps under our bed. I can’t even say how amazing this girl is. She is not fixed. She is fully up to date on her shots. No issues at all. She is such a darling and is so calm but also can have fun when she has the room. Please reach out with any questions. She comes with everything you need for her!

These pups are in Salt Lake City, Utah too!

Story
**Meet Princess Mary: The Husky Who’s Ready to Run and Cuddle!**Princess Mary is a 6-year-old Siberian Husky with an eye as blue as the sky and a personality to match. She's an energetic, adventure-loving pup who's always ready for a good run or a long hike—just try to keep up! But when the playtime is over, she'll happily curl up for some well-deserved snuggles. Mary is a social butterfly when it comes to other dogs. She's the life of the dog park and loves a good game of chase. If you've got another dog who likes to run and play, they'll be besties in no time! Now, Mary does have one little quirk: she's barrier reactive. Translation? She gets a bit excited (okay, *a lot* excited) when she sees other dogs, people, or anything that moves behind a fence or when on a leash. Don't worry—she's a quick learner and just needs some training to help her keep her cool. Mary would thrive in a home with an experienced dog owner who's ready to give her the exercise, training, and love she craves. She's active, but also a total cuddle monster once she's burned off some energy. Older kids who understand her boundaries would be a great fit, too. If you're looking for a playful, sweet, and slightly quirky dog to add some fun to your life, Princess Mary might just be the royal you've been waiting for. Reach out today—she's ready to rule your heart!To meet Princess Mary, please fill out an application at http://caws.org/adoption-application. 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. Her adoption fee is $200.

Story
Kylo is an 8 year old, 45 lb. remarkably chill, male Husky mix. He is housetrained, crate trained and knows basic commands like sit, down and shake. Kylo's fur is a little thin in places due to a thyroid condition but it doesn't slow him down at all. He knows he's a handsome boy and likes to prance around to show it. Kylo loves going for walks, hikes, car rides and playing fetch. He also loves snuggling on the couch with his humans and just lounging for a belly rub. He gets along well with the other dogs in his foster home. His condition does require him to take medication 2x/day, which he does with no problems. Kylo is a very sweet pup who would just love to settle down in his furever home.Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-serve basis. We strive to find the perfect home for each animal.
