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
Meet Oscar! He is a very sweet boy who is looking for a loving home where he can relax and enjoy life. He may be a bit nervous when he first meets you, but soon enough, he'll be climbing into your lap asking for attention. Oscar has a blast playing fetch, running in the grass, and going for walks. He also will curl up next to you and chill on the couch. A good way to earn some points with Oscar is to give him a yummy treat, like a cucumber slice or banana!

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. If you are interested in adopting Ritz—or another CAWS animal—please fill out an application here: http://caws.org/adoption-application.

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 if 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.
