My story

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

Meet Gideon
This charming 10-year-old, 50 lb hound mix is the perfect blend of mellow, loyal, and delightfully goofy. If you’re looking for a sweet companion to share your days—and your couch—Gideon might just be your perfect match.

Gideon is a gentle soul who adores being near his people. He’ll happily nap while you relax, but the moment you get up, he’s right behind you, trotting along with his sweet old-man enthusiasm. His hearing and vision may not be what they once were, but his love for life is still going strong.

True to his hound roots, Gideon lives for sniffing adventures. Whether it’s exploring the yard or taking slow, thoughtful walks where he can investigate every scent, he enjoys it all. Toys aren’t really his thing, but scratches, soft pets, and cozy companionship absolutely are.

Gideon does well with dogs his size or larger, and he’d love a calm, easy-going canine buddy—just no small dogs, please. He’s an easy keeper who fits beautifully into a quiet, loving home where he can enjoy comfort, routine, and plenty of affection.

If you’re ready to give a deserving senior the warm, happy life he dreams of, Gideon would love to meet you. Apply today at http://caws.org/adoption-application
and help this wonderful old gentleman find his perfect forever home.

Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-served basis; we strive for the best match for every animal. Applications may take up to 48 hours to process. All CAWS pets are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. Gideon’s adoption fee is $100. If you are interested in adopting a CAWS pet, please fill out an online application at https://caws.org/adoption-applicationNovember 18, 2025, 5:50 am

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.
