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
Howdy, folks! Possum here coming to you from the comfiest spot in the house--a lap. As you can see, I am an older gentleman. My exact age is unknown, but I think I'm about 12. I am still getting around well, and loving the life of not being in a shelter or on the streets. I am a total sweetheart, and will cuddle endlessly if you let me. I do well with other dogs and humans, but I can be a little grumpy if I’m getting attention and others try to interrupt. I would do best in a home with older, dog-savvy children. Since I am a senior fella, I'm pretty mellow, and don’t need a lot of running or walking, although little walks sound like a wonderful time. I am very loyal after I decide you’re mine, so if you decide to meet me, don’t be put off by my tough guy exterior. I’m still learning that humans can be kind and gentle. If you are looking to spend a little time with a sweet senior, I may be just what you’re looking for. I am neutered and current on all vaccinations. If you are interested in adopting Possum, please contact Uaaf.org to fill out an adoption application. If you have further questions, contact Megan at meganmorrison@gmail.com or 801-703-0639.

Story
Say hello to Jethro, a ten year-old male chihuahua who still has plenty of energy and love to give. Jethro is a sweet boy who loves everyone he meets. He has a bit of a swagger to his walk, and likes to strut his stuff on short walks and then take long naps. He went camping with his foster family recently, and had a ball exploring the wilds. Jethro was found as a stray, so his history is unknown, but we do know he is ready for his forever family. He is good with other dogs, but has not been tested around cats. He's so mellow that we're guessing he'd be okay, but that should be tested before committing to him. He'll also be fine with older children. During his neuter surgery, the vet discovered that Jethro had testicular cancer. He is cancer free now, but there is a chance it could recur, so his new family will need to keep a close eye on his lymph nodes. He recently had a dental and lost all but three of his teeth. He still eats really well, but does prefer soft food. He sleeps well in a crate, and uses the dog door almost all the time. He is pretty quiet for a small dog, so nothing to worry about with close neighbors. He also has the downward dog pose mastered and you will be amazed at how fast my tail wags when he does it. He really is a mellow guy who loves to hang with his people. He would be a great addition to any family. If you feel your family is the right match for the cuteness that is Jethro, please fill out an adoption application at UAAF.org. If you have questions, call / text Kirsty at (435) 671-0985 or email Kirsty.ju@gmail.com.

Story
This sweet and adorable girl is Lilo. This little brown and white Chihuahua is around 9 years old. Take a look at that face and we dare you not to fall in love. Lilo travels well in the car and likes short walks. Lilo gets along well with other dogs and is good with cats. She is house trained to a dog door. She can be vocal so Lilo would do best in a home without shared walls. She has been spayed, is up to date on vaccinations, is heartworm negative and microchipped. Lilo has had a dental cleaning, with a few extractions, and bloodwork has been done. She’s all fixed up and ready to find her forever home. If you are interested in adopting, please go to our website (uaaf.org) and complete an adoption application. For more information, please text Maryjo at 801-809-0602 or email maryjokorb@gmail.com.

Story
Bunny (aka THE BUNS) is part of the dynamic duo bonded pair with Paquita who found themselves in a New Mexico shelter after their person died, and they would love to be adopted together (see listing for Paquita). She and Paquita are both 3-year-old chi (?) mixes who are as different as night and day but go together like peas and carrots.Bunny is a bustling, supremely huggable, social lady who can seem reserved at first, but will soon be burrowing (and snoring) under the covers, requesting salad greens and joyfully strolling the neighborhood with you once she realizes she can trust you. She loves other dogs, cats, and pretty much everyone she meets. She will use the dog door but prefers to be escorted to the (fenced) yard, especially when its rainy or snowy outside (she will use a potty pad if you let her). Bunny has many opinions about passers-by and is not afraid to voice them, so would be best in a single-family home without shared neighbor walls.Bunny walks well on a leash (harness only please!), knows ''sit'', and has generally nice house manners. She gives a stunning side eye and does a mean downward dog. She has been working on her fitness routine and has lost 8 lbs since coming into rescue (with a few more to go!) – she would appreciate a home that will help her reach her summer swimsuit and social goals and to be able to do that with her bestie, Paquita! You won’t be sorry for inviting this terrific pair into your lives!Paquita is part of the dynamic duo bonded pair with Bunny who found themselves in a New Mexico shelter after their person died, and they would love to be adopted together (see listing for Bunny). She and Bunny are both 3-year-old chi (?) mixes who are as different as night and day but go together like peas and carrots.Paquita is a lithe, athletic girl with the softest coat and most jauntily curled tail. The adventurous explorer in the fenced yard, she is the shyer, quieter of the 2 inside and in public. She is not afraid, however, to tell you if she doesn’t like something and can be a bit grumbly (not nippy), so a home with older, dog-savvy children would probably be best.Paquita will use the dog door but prefers to be escorted to the yard for potty time. In cold and snowy weather, she will use a pee pad if you let her. She loves neighborhood walks (harness only please!) and is learning basic leash manners (it is apparent that she and Bunny never had much leash time). One of her favorite activities is doing speedy laps around the yard, second only to getting her ears cleaned by her bestie Bunny. At night, she will curl up into animpossibly tiny ball of floof at your feet. She would love a forever home with her pal Bunny – double the smiles guaranteed!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. Bunny and Paquita's adoption fee is $300 for both of them.

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.
