My story

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

Looking for a sweet, silly, and snuggly sidekick? Say hello to Cricket, a 5-month-old German Shepherd/Lab mix with ears too big for his head and a heart even bigger than that!

Cricket is the definition of puppy joy – full of wiggles, tail wags, and playful energy. He adores everyone he meets (humans and dogs alike!) and especially loves romping around with his furry foster siblings. Whether he's chasing a ball, squeaking a toy, or zipping through the yard, Cricket knows how to make the most of every moment.

After playtime, he's all about the snuggles – belly rubs and cozy naps in soft dog beds are the way to his heart. He’s also crate trained, almost fully house trained, and already showing off how smart he is by learning leash and car manners like a champ.

Cricket would thrive in a home with another playful pup to wrestle and run with. If you’re ready for a fun, affectionate, and absolutely adorable new family member, Cricket is ready to steal your heart (and maybe your socks)!

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. His adoption fee is $200. If you are interested in adopting Cricket, please fill out an online application at https://caws.org/adoption-application.

Their adoption process

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.
