Story
Lima Bean is the sweetest old buddy any family could ask for. He has a happy attitude and loves his people, and is great with both big and small dogs. He also seems to be fine with cats. He loves a good conversation with his people, as well as chill time on the couch, especially if belly scratches and a warm blanket are included. Bean is an older fella, so he does like things kinda quiet, and he does sleep much of the day. As with most seniors, Bean comes with a few health challenges. He has recently recovered from surgery to remove some masses. He is mostly blind, but can get around quite well once he is familiar with his surroundings. Bean is crate trained, and can avoid accidents if he's taken outside every few hours. Willingness to accept Bean for who he is and be patient with his challenges will reward the right family with loyalty, love, and companionship. Bean has been neutered, is current on vaccinations, has tested negative for heartworm and has been microchipped.

Story
Meet Midge, the 9-year-old Chihuahua mix with a heart full of love and a nose keen on exploration. She's a darling who cherishes her cuddle time but is equally content to nap on her own doggy bed. Midge has a gentle soul and enjoys the simple things in life—like snuggling on the couch or sunbathing in the yard. Though she generally gets along well with other dogs, she's a lady who values her personal space and won't hesitate to vocalize when her boundaries are crossed. Midge walks on a leash but be warned: she's a 'stop and smell the roses' (and everything else) kind of gal! While she's crate-trained, Midge prefers the freedom of letting herself out at night for a quick sip of water or an outdoor break. She thrives when she has either a human or a furry companion by her side throughout the day. Midge will thrive in a home where she can be showered with affection and have her unique preferences respected. If you're someone who appreciates the finer things in life, like a loyal companion who will stick by your side (but also values her independence), Midge may just be your perfect match! Midge has been spayed, is current on vaccinations, has tested negative for heartworm and has been microchipped. If you are interested in adopting, please complete an application on our website (uaaf.org). For more information, call/text Kirsty at (435) 671-0985 or email Kirsty.ju@gmail.com.

Story
Harvey is a super special senior who is looking for his super special humans. At about 10 years old, Harvey is old enough to know what he likes - eating and napping! - and what he doesn't - being touched unless it's his idea. Harvey can be a nervous guy around big dogs and new people, we haven't seen him around cats and he shouldn't live with children. Harvey comes by his hesitation honestly, he likely lived a life of neglect and finally abandonment before coming to CAWS and didn't get all the love and care a dog should receive. We're dedicated to changing that now! We know Harvey's people are out there - someone who will allow him to climb onto your lap when he's ready for cuddles, and someone who won't hold his tendency to snap when he feels threatened against him. Harvey has Cushing's disease and thyroid issues, and will require lifelong medication and dedicated care. Harvey does bark, so he'd do better in a house than an apartment with shared walls. If you think you have the big heart to give Harvey the life he deserves, please fill out an application at http://caws.org/adoption-application. 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. Harvey's adoption fee is $100.

Story
Meet Dory! This beautiful and sweet little 10# senior is true to her breed, Dory loves being carried around like the queen she is. She also loves curling up under the covers with her person. She does well with older, respectful children and gets along with cats and other dogs and loves going outside for short walks! Dory truly is a sweetheart and deserves to feel loved and doted on for her remaining, golden years. Dory is great about doing her business outside so long as she is given plenty of opportunities, otherwise she is great about using potty pads. This 10 year old girl is sweet, happy, easy going, and loving. She does come with some common senior ailments that will require continued care and is hoping a family might be willing to continue that care for her, keeping her happy and comfortable! Dory was recently diagnosed with kidney and heart issues that are pretty easy to care for- just some daily meds that she takes easily and prescription diet kibble. Costs for these additional medical items will likely cost around $30-$40 per month and are easily obtained. These meds/prescription kibble will need to be provided to her indefinitely. Dory would be happiest in a calm and easy going home that is stress free and easy to navigate as she is slowing down and has vision in just one eye. Do you have room in your home and heart for this sweet senior gal? Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-served 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 $100.

Hi! My name is Bug (or little bug, little lady, lady bug as my foster mom calls me). I'm a 4-5 year old chihuahua. I am super super nervous in new situations but give me a few days to warm up and my personality will start to shine. I absolutely love hanging with other little dogs and cats, even like bigger dogs if I have time to get to know them first. If you want snuggles 24 hours a day I'm your gal. I love sitting on the couch, snuggling in your lap or jacket outside and sleeping deep under the covers in your bed at night. Playing with squeaky stuffed animals is one of my favorite past times. I am the perfect mix is sassy and sweet and given the time to open up I know I will make your life so full of love.Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Story
Murphy is a sweet and special boy who loves his person without reserve! He is a 15ish lb mix of sorts- retriever x chi mix(?) and about 4 years old. Murphy loves his toys and treats, and would love to have a companion that wanted to play fetch with him, as he is a pro! He is leash trained, enjoys walks with his person, and loves to go for rides in the car. He is looking for a home that is active and one that also has a very secure yard. This cute boy is all wiggles and smiles when he is with his beloved person, so someone who is home most of the time is ideal. Murphy also does fine in his secure and safe crate while his person is away and enjoys the safety and retreat that it provides- so this is a must in his adoptive home. Murphy would enjoy another confident and calm dog in his adoptive home to provide him some guidance and companionship, and help him grow in confidence. Murphy is great about going outside to potty in his foster home, and will need patience and initial direction to be successful in his new home. He is great about using the dog door too! He is great on leash and loves to go on walks. Murphy is a one person dog, he prefers women, and sometimes children, but has a consistent dislike/fear of men (unfortunately), visitors and anyone he doesn't know. Potential adopters would need to have a solid understanding of how to handle, approach and keep a scared dog safe during the settling-in period, as Murphy can be a flight risk until he is comfortable and settled. Even when scared (initially) he generally maintains a sweet and gentle demeanor, generally fleeing and playing keep away but will nip anyone not familiar who corners him.. Murphy is fixed, vaccinated and microchipped. His adoption fee is $200. To be considered, please apply online at caws.org. Thanks!
