Story
Meet Princess Ivy. This adorable 12lb Italian Greyhound mix is truly a sweetheart. Ivy was surrendered back to CAWS after being a pampered princess for the last 7 years due to her mom becoming terminally ill. She's confused and doesn't know why she lost her home but she's eager to love and be loved. She's very smart and is 100% potty trained, walks well on a leash, is a little timid, but good with dogs and people. She used to live with 2 golden retrievers who she would snuggle with. Her mom believes she would do well with another dog in the home to show her the ropes. She's also okay being the only princess in the house. Ivy is used to being with her person all day every day and would do best with someone who is home during the day. She is a fairly quiet dog and would do well in any type of home including a home with shared walls. Ivy is overall very healthy but she did originally came to CAWS over 7 years ago from a hoarding situation and is a little anxious, therefore she is on a fairly inexpensive anti-anxiety medication that she will need to take everyday. She also has a sensitive stomach and is on special dog food so her tummy feels good. She is the best companion and will become a velcro dog as she learns to trust you. She deserves to go to a home who will spoil her the way she's used to being spoiled. 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
Meet Woofgang Puck, or just Puck for short! This lovable 8-year-old Chihuahua mix is a little bundle of joy, possibly with a sprinkle of Beagle in his genes. At first, Puck may come off as shy, but give him a moment, and his playful side will shine like a star! Puck adores his toys and loves to get into some light-hearted trouble—just picture him as the life of the party! He enjoys his naps, but don’t let him miss out on the fun; after all, who wants to snooze through an adventure? He loves being outside, but keep an eye on him—if the yard isn’t secure, he might go on his own mini explorations. And be careful! If a door is left open, he’s ready to dash out! When it comes to other dogs, Puck needs a little help. He has a tendency to “assist” them with their meals, which can be quite annoying. His friendly greetings can be a bit much—he barks, jumps, and wags his tail enthusiastically, which may confuse his canine pals. With some training, he can learn to tone it down. He’s also learning how to handle his protective instincts, but if you have other pets, be prepared to guide him through it. Puck is quite the jumper when he’s excited and might unexpectedly leap onto you, giving playful nips at your legs! He listens when corrected but often forgets the rules once the fun starts again. While he’s crate trained, Puck feels much more comfortable snoozing on a cozy bed rather than being confined to a crate. Sleeping in your bed isn’t something he’s into just yet. The good news is, he’s house trained and will let you know when it’s time to go out. Puck does have a heart murmur and takes medication twice a day for it. He can get a bit anxious, especially when being picked up or during car rides, and sitting on laps isn’t really his scene. This sweet boy is looking for a forever home filled with love, patience, and understanding. With your support, Puck will be ready for short hikes and exciting adventures with his favorite human! Puck has been neutered, is current on vaccines, has tested negative for heartworm and is microchipped. He also had a recent dental and lost a few teeth. If you are interested in adopting Puck, please complete an adoption application on our website. Just go to uaaf.org/adopt.

Story
Hi, I’m Nora! I’m a 6-year-old Chihuahua/Dachshund mix with a BIG personality and an even bigger heart. I love to make an entrance—whether I’m zooming down the hallway or running in and out of the house, you’ll hear me coming! My tail is usually wagging, and I’m always excited to see my people. When playtime is over, I’m a total snuggle bug and would be very happy curled up next to you on the couch. I’m loyal to the core and once I choose my person, you’re my person forever. I can be a little sassy (okay, maybe a lot), but that’s part of my charm. I also LOVE toys—seriously, I’ve built quite the collection and I’m very proud of it. I get along with other dogs, though I can be a bit bossy at times. I don’t have to be an only pup, but I do best with dog-savvy humans who understand that small dogs can have big feelings. I’m very protective of my people and just want to keep them safe. Cats? Well… I think they’re fun to chase, so I’d probably prefer a home without them (or with cats who can stand their ground). The good news? I’m crate trained, house trained, great on a leash, spayed, vaccinated, heartworm negative, microchipped—and I just had a dental, so my smile is sparkling. If you’re looking for a sweet, spunky, toy-loving cuddle buddy with loads of personality, I might be your girl. I promise to love you fiercely and keep life entertaining. If you are interested in adopting Nora, please complete an adoption application on our website (uaaf.org/adopt).

Story
Lottie is going to be 4 years old on Valentine’s Day! I love Lottie with all my heart. This is the hardest thing I have ever had to do. Lottie has separation anxiety. I work during the days. When I am away, she will cry for me and it’s become a problem at my apartment complex. Lottie is loyal, loving, and truly a wonderful dog. She is anxious, but I feel like that is because she is a dog living in an apartment. I feel like Lottie will be happiest with a new mom or dad who can be home or in the home more often for her separation anxiety. I would also love to see her go to a good home with an actual yard for her to play in and get good exercise daily. She has Chihuahua tendencies. She is not great with other animals she doesn’t know. She loves kids, but sudden movements, scare her and she will bark. She has never bitten a person. Anyhow, I really do love her but am no longer able to keep her. The thought of her at the pound breaks my heart. I can’t let that happen.

Story
Meet Nuggie, a senior dog with a heart of gold and a personality as rich and layered as his name suggests. While he has a sweet and loyal side, he also knows exactly what he likes—and what he doesn’t. He’s independent, spirited, and full of character, just like you'd expect from a classic Chihuahua. Nuggie is friendly on his own terms, often forming strong bonds with his favorite people. He’s sharp as a tack and still enjoys exploring his surroundings with youthful curiosity. Once you’re in his circle, you’ll find a fiercely loyal companion who brings joy, laughter, and a whole lot of heart into your life. He’ll thrive in a home that appreciates his quirks, respects his space, and is willing to advocate for him with others. Whether that means letting guests know he needs a little time to warm up or ensuring he has a quiet spot to retreat to, Nuggie does best with someone who understands and honors his boundaries. Adopting Nuggie means embracing a dog with opinions, charm, and endless personality—and gaining a devoted, one-of-a-kind friend for life. If you would like more info, please call/text our adoptions team at 385-405-5145.
