My story

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

Meet Cory!
Cory is a 7.5-year-old Lab mix with a big heart, a goofy streak, and 65 pounds of pure love. He’s the kind of dog who brings a smile to your face every single day.

This sweet boy has wonderful house manners. He’s fully housetrained, sleeps quietly in his crate at night, and spends his days happily lounging in his favorite spots or leaning in for pets and butt scratches. Around the house, he’s quiet and polite — barking only when he’s squeaking a toy or the occasional squirrel runs by. He even greets visitors with calm tail wags, never jumping up.

Cory is very smart and already knows a long list of commands including sit, stay, come, watch me, leave it, and wait. He even has polite mealtime manners, sitting patiently until he’s told “okay.” He’s both food-motivated and eager for praise, which makes training fun. Cory is working on his leash skills and doing great with consistency. He walks best with a gentle leader and is learning to focus more on his person instead of every interesting smell.

When it comes to play, Cory is a happy, medium-energy guy. He loves fetch, squeaky toys, hikes, and splashing in the river — and he’s even practicing his paddle boarding skills! After some exercise and a little mental stimulation, he’s perfectly content to curl up and relax for the rest of the day.

Cory would thrive as the only dog in the home. He can be selective with other dogs and isn’t a match for cats, but he absolutely adores people — especially kids. Because he plays with enthusiasm and may guard special toys, he’ll do best with older children who understand dog boundaries.

Healthy, affectionate, and full of personality, Cory is looking for a confident, loving family who will continue his training, keep him active, and shower him with snuggles. In return, he’ll give you loyalty, laughter, and endless love.

Adoptions are not first-come, first-serve — our goal is the perfect match. Applications may take up to 48 hours to process. All CAWS dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. Cory’s adoption fee is $200. If you are interested in adopting a CAWS pet, please fill out an online application at https://caws.org/adoption-applicationJanuary 7, 2026, 5:26 am

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.
