Story
Meet Doug!Doug is a one year old Long Haired Dachshund mix weighing in at about 15 pounds. He's a happy and affectionate guy after he builds trust. He likes other dogs although he's still learning how to read their cues. He is curious about the cat that lives downstairs. He mostly potties outside, but he does pee inside sometimes. He's a baby and he's working on it. He is crated while his foster mom is at work and does fine. Doug does like to chew on things he shouldn't (hello, puppy!) so he should have toys and proper chew items for him to pick from in his forever home. He is also a door dasher, so a calm, low-traffic home would be best for him. Kids make Doug nervous, but older, dog-savvy kids would be fine for him. Doug can also be an escape artist, so a secure yard is a must for him. He will also need regular grooming to keep his locks mat-free. He really is the sweetest boy!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 complete.All CAWS animals are fixed, microchipped, and vaccinated. Doug's adoption fee is $200.

Story
Briggs a 6-year 25 pound mostly black with white dapple colored dachshund mix. He could afford to lose a pound or two so we’re working on that slow but sure. He is a literal low rider, very bowed legs, such a distinct walk. He came to be a part of the CAWS family from a rural Utah shelter. He is not skittish or scared; he will sometimes bark while exploring in the backyard. He sleeps with his 2-legged people and cuddles on the couch with all the other 4-legged furkids. He gives ever so soft kisses. He gets a little territorial on the couch wanting to be the only attention of his 2-legged people, but he doesn’t bite. He does require proper introductions. Briggs is such a magnificent and delightful guy, unique as can be. He is totally house and crate trained but he is let outside to do his business on a regular basis. He gets along with all the other dogs in his foster home, male and female, big and small. We prefer he go to a home with a yard because he loves to linger outside and 2-legged people who work from home or can take him to work with them or retired so he is not alone. He does okay in a crate, but we do not want him to live in a crate. If you can give this superb guy a safe and secure home with unconditional love, please fill out an application for a meet and greet. He oozes pure sweetness and joy. Briggs should have never ended up in a shelter, but he crossed our path and so now will find his furever lasting home that he is so worthy of. He literally takes your breath away.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. His adoption fee is $200.

Story
We are needing to re-home our sweet Tempe. She has had a hard time adjusting to life with a toddler and we just haven’t been able to give her the love and attention she deserves. Tempe is 13 years old and is needing a home without any younger kids and possibly other pets (it might take a little for her to warm up to other pets). All she wants to do is curl up in a blanket and snuggle with you. Please reach out with any questions.
