Story
Looking for a devoted sidekick who thinks the best place in the world is right by your side? Meet Puck, an adorable 8-year-old Supermutt mix (mostly Rat Terrier!). At a compact 18 pounds, he’s the ultimate mix of loyal sidekick and curious backyard explorer. Puck is house-trained, dog-door fluent, and crate-comfortable (though he’d prefer to be in the room with you). He'll give you a polite nudge when it's time to go outside! (PS. He LOVES short hikes and yard time.) Since he’s super smart, his new home should have a securely fenced yard and mindful door management to keep him safe. Puck is seeking a calm, low-traffic home where he can be the star of the show. He needs to be the only dog in a home without young children. (He occasionally likes to guard his favorite people and food bowl, so he needs a patient, experienced adopter who understands gentle boundaries.) Puck is neutered, microchipped, heartworm-negative, vaccinated, and has had his routine dental cleaning. He manages a heart murmur like a champ with affordable medication (twice a day), showing no signs of letting it slow down his love for life. If you have a peaceful home and a heart ready for a fiercely loyal best friend, Puck is ready to meet you! If you are interested in adopting Puck, please complete an adoption application on our website (uaaf.org/adopt). For more information, call/text Randee at 801-232-8157 or email uaaf.randee@gmail.com

Story
Meet Madonna: The Ultimate Material Girl Strike a pose! Madonna is a 5-year-old Chiweenie who’s ready to express herself and step into the spotlight. This iconic diva is pure entertainment, whether she’s rolling around on the bed like a total Lucky Star or chasing her own feet and tail in a hilarious solo concert. Girls Just Want to Have Fun: Madonna loves hitting the open road! She is obsessed with car rides and will gladly let the wind blow through her hair while living her best life out the window. Calm Fan Club Preferred: She gets along with other dogs as long as they are calm, respectful, and keep the vibe easygoing. However, she prefers a crew with no cats or kids. Even true legends need a great manager! Madonna is working through some resource guarding with toys/treats and barrier anxiety in her crate. She is making amazing progress, but she needs a patient adopter ready to keep that training rhythm going. Time after time, consistency is key! Ready to open your heart to this superstar? Give her a safe space to shine, and she’ll prove that true love is into the groove! Madonna has been spayed, is current on vaccines, has tested negative for heartworm and is microchipped. If you are interested in adopting Madonna, please complete an adoption application on our website (uaaf.org/adopt). For more information, call/text Jessa at 385-522-3159 or email jessa.hurty@gmail.com.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi, I’m Caprie! I’m an adorable 11-month-old Chihuahua, weighing in at just 6 pounds  basically the perfect little pocket sized best friend! I can be a little shy when we first meet, but I warm up pretty quickly. Once I’m comfortable, you’ll see my favorite feature… my whole body wiggle!  When I get excited, my entire little body wiggles with happiness! I’m a super sweet girl who LOVES toys, especially squeaky ones. My other favorite hobby is turning myself into a little blanket or couch burrito. If there’s a soft blanket or comfy couch nearby, you can bet I’m going to bury myself in it! I also really like being able to see my human. I don’t necessarily have to be right on top of you, but knowing where you are makes me feel happy and safe. I’m fully potty trained and crate trained, and I do well with both dogs and cats! I can absolutely coexist with other animals, but I can get a little nervous if another dog gets right in my face. I’d be perfectly happy living with other animals, but I think I’d really love being your one and only little princess. My dream home: Someone who is home with me a lot or loves taking their little sidekick everywhere with them! I’m happiest when I get to be near my person and included in their adventures.  If you’re looking for a tiny companion , who serious love for squeaky toys, and the cutest little wiggle in the world… I might just be your girl! apply to meet me at https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplicationVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 1, 2026, 7:26 pm

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. CALLING ALL THE LADIES I’m ready to be your forever #ManCrush My name is Breadstick , I’m a 1 year old, 13 pound Cheweenie, and I’m currently accepting applications for my forever lady! I say “lady” because I’m really looking for a female dominated home. I prefer women. Who doesn’t, right? But seriously. I’ve been adopted to homes with men and they have all brought me back to my foster home, where I live happily (for the most part) with a foster mom and a foster dad. Seems like I’m VERY picky when it comes to men. Overall, I’m not a fan, although I DO love my foster dad, so apparently there are exceptions! We’re starting to think maybe my type is young, blonde, blue eyes, and 6 feet Altho in all seriousness…I nip at him sometimes, too. So. I would like to try a home with all females. If that’s you, read on! I’ll be 100% honest I can be shy when we first meet. But once I warm up? OH BOY. I love HARD. I will become your tiny little shadow and follow you absolutely everywhere. Cleaning? I’m your supervisor. ️ Couch time? I’m already there. Shower? Don’t worry, I’ll be peeking around the curtain to make sure you’re okay. Toys? HAND THEM OVER. I LOVE TOYS!   I’m potty trained, walk AMAZING on leash, I’m still learning the crate isn’t horrible. I LOVE other dogs and really need one in my forever home! I’d love a play buddy, but I especially need a confident dog who can help me feel safe and show me the ropes. I’m also good with cats! Kids aren’t really my thing, so I’m looking for a kid free home. So ladies, if you’re looking for a tiny, adorable, slightly dramatic, toy-obsessed little man who will follow you everywhere…Apply to me at https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplicationVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 1, 2026, 7:26 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hi there! My name is Dekker, and if you have an open lap and a pocket full of treats, we are already destined to be best friends.   I’m a 7 and a half year young Chihuahua mix with a huge heart and the most expressive face in town. Seriously, you’ll never have to guess what I’m thinking—my eyebrows do all the talking, whether I’m wondering why the petting stopped or politely requesting a snack.   My energy sits at a very manageable 5/10. I don't need wild marathons to be happy—just a nice sniff walk, a little silly time, and lots of quality couch snuggles. When I get really happy to see you, I can’t help myself: I hop around just like a little bunny! I truly adore people and get along great with kids. Because I love my humans so much, being left alone can make me a little anxious at first, but with routine and reassurance, I settle in and do great. The good news? You don’t need to crate me when you leave—I'm trustworthy around the house, though I’m still polishing up the last little bit of my potty-training routine.   When it comes to other animals, cats don't bother me a bit (I pretty much just pretend they aren't there), and I do wonderful with dogs my size or smaller. Big dogs can make me nervous, and I can be a bit vocal and reactive on leash when unfamiliar things surprise me. The big outside world can feel intimidating sometimes, but I'm working hard on becoming a braver adventure buddy every single day. Luckily, I am very food motivated, so a tasty treat goes a long way in helping me learn and feel confident.   I’m looking for a patient, loving home ready for a loyal little shadow with tons of love to give. Could your lap be my forever spot?   Apply to meet me at https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 1, 2026, 7:26 pm
