My story

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

What If I Told You I'm Actually a Dog Who Thinks She's a Cat?

Hi, I'm Dawn, and my name means a new beginning—which is exactly what I'm looking for! I came here from Texas, and while I don't remember much about my past, I'm excited to focus on my bright future ahead.

Here's the thing about me: I basically AM a cat. I love cats, I act like a cat, and honestly, if you're looking for a dog with that independent, quietly affectionate feline vibe, I'm your girl. But don't worry—I also love dogs! I'm hoping to find a patient person who understands that the best things take time, and I would absolutely love to have a laid-back dog friend who can teach me the ropes and be my buddy.
I'm still learning how to be the perfect family dog because there's so much to discover about this wonderful life. I might need a little patience as I figure out how to trust, but my heart is full of love just waiting to shine through. I really, really want to make you happy, and once I feel safe with you, I'll show you just how devoted I can be. It might take me a moment to warm up when we first meet, but once we become friends, you'll have my whole heart forever.
There are some things I absolutely adore—Churu's are basically the best thing ever! I love quiet moments getting to know my favorite people, and I enjoy learning new things at my own pace.
I'm looking for someone special who will celebrate my progress and love my unique journey. I believe that sometimes the most beautiful sunrises come after the longest nights, and I'm ready for my sunrise moment with you.

Want to be part of my new beginning? I can't wait to meet you!

With hope and purrs (I mean, woofs),
Dawn

Our adoption facility hours and location can be found on our website. https://carenorthshore.org/care-adoption-center/

Additional adoption info

See our process and policies on our website.
https://carenorthshore.org/adoption-information/

Our fees include a full medical exam by a veterinarian. This includes a Feline Leukemia and FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) test for cats, Rabies and Distemper Vaccines, deworming and Spay/Neuter. Dogs receive a Heartworm Check, Spay/Neuter, Rabies and Distemper Vaccines, Canine Flu Vaccine, deworming, and Kennel Cough preventative. Our modest adoption fees do not cover the procedures and vet work that we provide the animals. We fundraise to make up the difference. Any ongoing medical needs that C.A.R.E. is aware of are explained fully, (including daily medicine costs), to the potential adopter, and become the responsibility of the adopter.
