My story

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

Meet Dory! This beautiful and sweet little 10# senior is true to her breed, Dory loves being carried around like the queen she is. She also loves curling up under the covers with her person. She does well with older, respectful children and gets along with cats and other dogs and loves going outside for short walks! Dory truly is a sweetheart and deserves to feel loved and doted on for her remaining, golden years. Dory is great about doing her business outside so long as she is given plenty of opportunities, otherwise she is great about using potty pads.

This 10 year old girl is sweet, happy, easy going, and loving. She does come with some common senior ailments that will require continued care and is hoping a family might be willing to continue that care for her, keeping her happy and comfortable! Dory was recently diagnosed with kidney and heart issues that are pretty easy to care for- just some daily meds that she takes easily and prescription diet kibble. Costs for these additional medical items will likely cost around $30-$40 per month and are easily obtained. These meds/prescription kibble will need to be provided to her indefinitely. Dory would be happiest in a calm and easy going home that is stress free and easy to navigate as she is slowing down and has vision in just one eye. Do you have room in your home and heart for this sweet senior gal?

Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-served 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 $100.

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.
