Story
Hi I'm Augustus, a perfect mix of pitty, poodle and super mutt. I'll probably grow to be around 30-40 lbs and even though I'm a Doodle, I do shed and I have short hair. My mom was pregnant with me and my siblings in a scary shelter when she was saved by CAWs. My foster did a DNA test, so we know a little bit more about my breed. I may be the last of my litter to get adopted but I am the sweetest of the bunch and I am patiently waiting... I just know that my perfect family is out there. I just love being around people and other dogs and I'd love an active family who loves spending time outdoors, running around in the snow, playing in the rain, or just enjoying a good game of fetch. I'm working hard on my house training but I'm gonna need a patient and loving family who’s ready to help me learn the ropes and include me in all their adventures. 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. CAWS will cover all of the first year of puppy vaccines and their spay/neuter at 6 months of age. His adoption fee is $300.

Story
Gnorfbun is an 11-year-old pittie mix with 60 pounds of pure sweetness and cinnamon bun love! This treat-loving sweetheart might need a little help with her diet and managing her allergies, but she more than makes up for it with her endless love and affectionate nature. Gnorfbun adores leisurely walks just as much as she loves curling up for snuggles. She’s fantastic with kids, making her a wonderful addition to a family home. She’s also a great companion to her 9-pound foster dog sibling and knows how to respect an older, grouchy dog’s space. While Gnorfbun is eager to make new friends, she prefers slower introductions to other dogs to ensure everyone feels comfortable. She’s always excited to meet people and even curious about cats—though she mostly leaves them alone and prefers to nap. With her gentle, loving personality, Gnorfbun is an instant favorite with everyone she meets. If you’re ready for unconditional love, kid-friendly cuddles, and the most adorable snuggle partner, Gnorfbun is ready to join your family!To meet Gnorfbun, please fill out an application at http://caws.org/adoption-application.

Story
Meet Wally, a 10-12 week old lilac bully with a heart as big as his paws. He is the biggest pup in his foster home, but don’t let that fool you he’s a total softie who loves to play with other dogs (even if they tease him a bit!). Wally is still learning the ropes, and while he can use the dog door, he’s not always on target, so he prefers you to take him out for potty breaks. This little guy is a fan of toys, ice cubes, and, of course, his daily nap time! He’s great with kids but due to his size and playful energy, an older family or kids who are comfortable with a bigger puppy would be ideal. Wally is looking for a home where he can get all the love and training he needs, preferably with someone familiar with the bully breed. He’s currently working on crate training, but let’s just say he’s not the biggest fan yet, he’ll need a patient owner who is ready to help him adjust. Wally is also seeking a homeowner due to breed restrictions, and he’s eager to find a family who will guide him to be the best boy he can be. Wally has been neutered, is current on age-appropriate vaccines, and is microchipped. If you are interested in adopting, please complete an adoption application on our website (uaaf.org/adopt). For more information, call/text Randee at 801-232-8157 or email randeekrichardson@gmail.com.

Story
Yule is a sweet boy with a gentle heart and a love for the simple joys in life. While he can be a bit timid in new spaces, he quickly warms up with patience and gentle guidance. Once he’s comfortable, his playful and cuddly personality shines through! Yule adores squeaky toys and will happily entertain himself or join in on a fun game. He’s a fan of cozy dog beds, where he loves to relax after a day of play. His foster parent believes he’s housetrained, and he’s done wonderfully in his crate. Yule also gets along well with other dogs, making him a great addition to a multi-dog home. If you’re looking for a loving companion who balances playtime and snuggles perfectly, Yule is ready to be your new best friend!

Story
Dreamy gentle giant alert! Loverboy alert! Big ol' lunk who thinks he's a tiny lap dog alert! Alert alert! If you have "soft" "squishy" "angel" "lovey-dovey" "melty goofball" or "sweet dorky idiot" on your 2025 vision board, we must insist you meet Ferrari. If Ferrari could choose, he'd want to lie in your lap all day getting pets. He is a firm believer that if he fits, he sits. If he's not engaging in his love languages (a proprietary blend of physical touch x quality time), he's happy to relax with his paws in the air like he just don't care (we are pretty sure he actually doesn't). Ferrari has met large and small dogs and thinks everyone is a friend of his. He is still recovering from a leg injury, so at the moment his life will involve a lot of strict rest so that he can get back to being a big ol' goofball. He'd love to finish up his doctor's orders at your home, and then get to the fun

Story
This is Rocky, he is a 2 year old pitbull dachshund mix. Very loveable and needs a lot of attention. He loves to cuddle and is also great with kids and other animals. He is a barker when he is left alone. I currently have 8 days to rehome him before I will be required to pay $500 in fines because of his barking. I work nights so it's hard to keep him quiet if I'm not there. I love my dog but I really just can't afford to keep paying fines. He would benefit greatly if he had a yard and another dog to play with. Rehoming fee is negotiable.

Story
I could be your all star champion…. Hiking, running, biking, agility, hunting…. the sky is the limit. With some mix of Jack Russell terrier, I’d thrive with an outdoorsy active family. I love toys and learning well with fetch and recalls. I’m good on leash and love pack walks. I’m currently in a foster home with dogs of all sizes, a confident calico cat and chickens! I love getting scratches and snuggle with respectful kids. I can be shy towards strangers but once I warmed up, I’m the most loyal, sweetest and cuddly. I sleep through the night in my crate. My $200 adoption fee includes spay surgery, vaccinations and microchip.

Dudes loves being with humans and dogs alike. He loves being told he is a good boy and smiles often. His eyes will sucker you into just one more treat every time, as they are just mesmerizing. He plays nicely with many other dogs, he just wants to be selective at times. When he finds a great dog friend, he loves playing chase and doing zoomies with them. He is a happy dog with energy to burn, but I believe he would also love to cuddle on the couch during movie night as well.

Story
Say hello to Gemma! This beautiful Staffordshire bull terrier is estimated to be three years old. This quirky girl knows basic commands but could use additional help with leash etiquette. Gemma does extremely well with kids of all ages. She would benefit herself and her handler if you could continue teaching her to play as she is still learning to play with dogs her size. She would do well in either a small dog or single dog family. You'll laugh at loud hearing the snorts and muffles she makes as she plays! Typical of pitties, she loves to chew! But, never fear! Her trusty chewy stick and carrot are here to save the day (and her leash). You'll never be cold at night with this girl. She's the best snuggler of the breed! Give her a nice soft blanket, yourself, and a quiet night and enjoy the bliss of contentment. Please apply to give this girl a great home Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 9, 2024, 11:42 pm

Hi there, future best friend! I'm Belle, a stunning 3.5-year-old female Boxer mix with a heart full of love. I’m an affectionate girl who adores cuddling, playing with toys, and spending quality time with my humans. I’m fully house- and crate-trained, so I’m ready to fit right into my forever home.I’m a fan of fetch, going on walks, and exploring fun adventures with my people. While I can be a little shy when meeting new friends, I’m working on building my confidence and know my new family will help me feel safe and secure in new situations. I dream of a home where I can be the center of attention—I’d love an adult-only family where I can be the one-and-only furry companion. A securely fenced yard would be a dream come true because I love to explore and satisfy my curious nature. I met with a wonderful trainer who helped me learn new skills, and they say I’m incredibly smart and eager to please! I already know several commands and am thriving with positive-reinforcement training. I’ve even started muzzle training to help me stay calm and focused when things feel a little overwhelming—I'm working hard to be the best version of myself.I have so much love to give and can’t wait to find a family that will help me shine. With your support, I know I’ll make the sweetest, most loyal companion.

Hi my name is Nina! I’m without doubt the sweetest dog you will ever meet. I am a 8 year old bull terrier mix. The beginning years of my life were filled with hardship and turmoil but I am still so dedicated to turn it around and become my best self. I am friendly and easy going with every living thing, I’ve lived with kids, cats, dogs etc and never had any issues. I definitely would love to have a confident dog in my new home to snuggle and play with. Because of my unstable past, I have some insecurities being left home alone. Luckily my foster mom is a trainer and together we are making great strides in my confidence and ability to be alone. I continue to impress her everyday. As long as I have my exercise needs met and a little structure, I am essentially the perfect dog. I listen to commands and never do anything inherently naughty. My ideal life will be filled with dog friends, long hikes and endless snuggles. If you are willing to take a chance on me, I promise you I will be worth it.Nina is looking for an active family who can keep up with her energy and give her the love and structure she needs to shine. Her adoption fee is $200, and she comes spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated. If you’re ready to give this sweet girl her perfect forever home, apply at CAWS adoption application.Note: Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Story
We'd like to introduce Judy Booty, a sweet and laid-back 7.5-year-old Bulldog who's all about her people and getting lots of pets! This gentle soul loves nothing more than lounging around and soaking up affection from her human companions. Judy is quite settled in her ways. But in this case, we don’t think that’s a bad thing! Her ways mostly include napping, tummy rubs, chin scratches and some more napping. Naps are her specialty, and she's quite the professional at lounging on soft surfaces, enjoying the simple pleasures of life. She seems to prefer people over dogs, and is generally better around small dogs. Overall she is indifferent to most dogs as long as they don't get in her face in an assertive manner. Cats unknown. Judy Booty does great with kids too. However, she could knock over small kids when she gets excited. Judy is a sweet, low energy gal and enjoys a leisurely stroll around the block but usually just once a day. She walks great on leash and loves riding in the car. Judy is house trained and she'll let you know she needs to go out by standing by the door. This cutie pie does have some food allergies to potatoes and rice, but is doing well on a limited ingredient dog food. In the past she has been prone to ear infections, but hasn't had one since arriving at her foster home and is currently on apoquel for itchy skin. If you're looking for a low-key companion who will be happy to just relax by your side and enjoy some quality cuddle time, Judy Booty is your girl!Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-served basis.
