Story
Meet Spirit 💛 Hi there… my name is Spirit, but if you ask nicely, you can call me Pretty Girl or Lady Dog. I’m a sweet 12–13 year old lady with a gentle soul. These days, my favorite hobby is napping — I’ve truly perfected the art. A cozy bed, a soft blanket, and the peaceful presence of my people? That’s my idea of a perfect afternoon. Every now and then I’ll surprise you by taking interest in an occasional cat toy… just to keep things interesting. Because I have some arthritis in my shoulders and hips, I prefer short, slow walks. I like to take my time and enjoy the little things. I also have limited sight and hearing, and I don’t have any teeth left. I can be a little unsure about shadows and windy days — they’re mysterious and a bit spooky to a lady with my limited vision. But with reassurance and a calm environment, I feel safe and content. My very best friends are my foster mom and dad. They give me delicious wet food and lots of love, which I think is a very fair trade for my devotion and sweet company. I’m good with cats and other dogs, and while it’s not known how I feel about kids, I’m such a calm and gentle girl that a quiet home would suit me best. If you’re looking for a low-key, loving companion who will happily snooze by your side and warm your heart every single day, I might just be your girl. Love, Spirit 🐾

Story
Meet Pixie Stix! This adorable almost-5-year-old Chihuahua/Terrier mix may be small at just 12 lbs, but she comes with a huge amount of love to give. Pixie Stix is a happy, playful, cuddly little shadow who lives for being close to her people—preferably on their laps!Pixie Stix is the definition of a loyal companion. She picks her favorite humans and becomes their devoted sidekick, following them around with her big bright eyes and her “ride-or-die” devotion. She loves meeting new people, running around with playful dogs, and soaking up as many pets and treats as she can get.At home, she’s house trained, crate trained, and mostly quiet—she’ll only speak up when she wants attention. She’s still working on her leash skills (it seems she wasn’t walked very much before), but with how treat-motivated she is, she’ll catch on quickly. She rides well in the car but would really prefer to sit on your lap if you let her!Pixie Stix enjoys toys, playtime with other dogs, lounging on laps, and just being near her person. She does great with dogs of all sizes, is fine with dog savvy cats, and enjoys playing with older kids. True to her Chihuahua roots, when she bonds, she bonds hard—she will adore her person and may ignore others when they’re around.Health: Pixie Stix has had slightly elevated liver levels her whole life. It is stable and has never required treatment but should be monitored by her vet team as she ages.Pixie Stix would thrive in a home where she can have one or two special humans to bond closely with. If you’re looking for the cutest little companion who will gaze at you with total devotion and bring endless joy to your days, Pixie Stix is your girl. She’s ready to be someone’s tiny soulmate—maybe yours!Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-serve 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 $200.

Story
Ritz is a 12-year-old, 23.6-pound Chihuahua mix with a soft coat and a heart that is somehow even softer. Since coming into our care, Ritz has already had quite the glow-up: he’s had a full veterinary workup, recent bloodwork, a dental with a few extractions, and surgery to repair a cherry eye. He’s also working on shedding a few extra pounds (and is already down a couple!), and feeling better every day. He does have a grade 2/6 heart murmur, but currently requires no medication.Despite everything he’s been through, Ritz is pure gentleness. He is not a barker—in fact, he’s as quiet as a little mouse. He shows his happiness in the sweetest ways: soft, careful kisses and a constantly wagging tail that says everything his voice doesn’t need to. He enjoys the simple joys in life, especially chasing a ball and proudly bringing it back, which is absolutely adorable coming from such a distinguished little gentleman.Ritz is still learning that the couch is allowed territory in his foster home, but he’s getting more confident each day. For now, he’s happiest curled up on a cozy dog bed or resting in his crate. He is fully house and crate trained, sleeps peacefully through the night, and is rarely crated thanks to his foster family working from home.He gets along wonderfully with other dogs—big, small, male, or female—and takes social cues well. Because of his age and gentle nature, he would do best in a home with older, respectful children. A home with a yard would be ideal, as he enjoys spending time outside just taking in the world. He would also love a family where someone is home often—whether working remotely, retired, or able to bring him along for the day. While he is crate trained, he should not spend long hours confined.Ritz truly is a charming, one-of-a-kind little gentleman. He shouldn’t have ended up in a shelter, but now that he’s found his way into our care, we are determined to find him the safe, loving forever home he so deeply deserves. He has a way of quietly taking your breath away the moment you meet him.Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-serve basis. We focus on finding the best match for each animal; applications may take up to 48 hours to process.All CAWS animals are fixed, microchipped, and vaccinated. Ritz’s adoption fee is $100.

Story
Meet Enchilada: The Spicy Little Bean with a 'History'Are you looking for a dog who is 90% drama, 10% legs, and 100% committed to being your tiny, vibrating shadow? Meet Enchilada, a 6.5-pound Chihuahua mix who is living proof that 'spicy' is a personality trait, not just a flavor profile.The Legend of the Vegas OutlawEnchilada came to us from Las Vegas with a rap sheet longer than his tail. His shelter notes read like a script for an action movie: 'Aggressive,' 'Screaming,' 'Thrashing.' He basically treated his first vet exam like a high-stakes wrestling match. Since his 'retirement' (and a much-needed dental surgery), he's traded his tough-guy act for a life of luxury, though he still requires sedation for nail trims because a man has to maintain some level of mystery and menace.The Personality: Anxiety in a Tiny Trench CoatEnchilada is high-strung, anxious, and deeply suspicious of fast movements. If you approach him like a normal human, he might get defensive. But if you approach him like you're trying not to wake a sleeping dragon, he'll melt into a submissive little puddle and beg for reassurance.Pro-Tip: If you can't find him, just start petting another dog. He will manifest out of thin air to ensure no one else is getting the affection that rightfully belongs to him.The 'Spicy' Stats:The Grudge Holder: Enchilada is a selective socialite. He currently has a blood feud with his foster sister because she dared to tell him that mounting a senior Lab's leg is 'inappropriate behavior.' He will literally yell at her when she walks by. He's small, but his audacity is infinite. Enchilada would prefer other Chihuahuas in his home of other pups are present.The Vocalist: Enchilada doesn't just bark; he performs. His repertoire includes whines, wails, and intense vocalizations—especially during meal prep. Because of his 'operatic' nature, he is not a candidate for apartments or shared walls. Your neighbors would move out within the week.The Bed Guard: He isn't exactly crate trained, but he stays on a raised bed at night because he's afraid of heights. He's basically a prisoner of his own tiny stature.The Diaper King: He's mostly house-trained but wears a 'gentleman's wrap' (a diaper) at night just in case. He rarely soils it, but fashion is about safety first.Ideal Home:Enchilada is looking for a very specific kind of human—ideally a retiree or someone who works from home and understands that 6.5 pounds of dog can contain the ego of a Great Dane.No Shared Walls: Unless you want the HOA at your door.Patience: You must be okay with a dog who needs a slow 'getting to know you' phase.Other Dogs: He likes having small friends to hang out with, provided they respect his 'King of the Castle' vibes.Sense of Humor: Essential for when he starts a fight with a dog five times his size and then yells 'Come at me, bro!' from behind your ankles.Enchilada has come a long way from his outlaw days. He's now a professional snuggler, a sun-bather, and a food enthusiast who just needs a person to tell him he's a good boy (and maybe keep him away from senior Labs).Are you ready to handle the heat? Apply to adopt Enchilada today!Dogs are not placed on a first-come first-serve basis.

Story
Meet Buddy: the pint-sized powerhouse with the heart of a lion and the energy of a caffeinated squirrel. This Chihuahua-Pitbull mix is here to prove that big things come in tiny, fierce packages. He may be small, but when it comes to plush toys, he’s a dedicated destroyer—no squeaker is safe. When he's not flexing his muscles in a game of tug-of-war, you’ll find him zooming around the house like he’s training for the Puppy Olympics. His hobbies include chasing his own tail, stealing socks, and barking at nothing... because, you know, someone has to protect the house from invisible threats.

Story
Nuggie is a 15-year-old Chihuahua with so much love to give! He’s a devoted companion who finds comfort in being close to his person, and truly thrives on that special one-on-one bond. He gets along well with other dogs and cats and brings a calm, easygoing presence to a quiet home. Nuggie will be happiest with someone who is around most of the time to help him feel safe and secure. Because of his sensitive nature, Nuggie needs an experienced, patient, adult-only home—ideally with one dedicated caregiver. He can be a bit particular about his space and handling at times, so he’ll do best with someone who understands small dogs and can read his cues, giving him the consistency and respect he needs to feel comfortable! In return, Nuggie will be a deeply loyal little companion who just wants a cozy place, a steady routine, and a person to love with his whole heart.
