Story
i’m looking to rehome my sweet boy, obi, as i won’t be able to take him when i move out of state. he’s 3 years old and super silly with a big personality. he’s a great dog but requires a lot of patience and is well behaved as long as he can get his energy out. he would do best with somebody with a large yard or a farm. he’s incredibly intelligent- he will play fetch with you for hours & play hide & seek with you. he’s great with kids, cats & other dogs. he plays hard and loves harder. he’s my pride and joy and i don’t care about money as long as i can find a great home for him- hes not low maintenance so im hoping to put him with someone that will commit to giving him the time, patience, love & space he needs, who will keep him active and engaged.

Story
Mateo is still learning how to dog according to a Human's standards. He understands that people usually bring him yummy dog treats and fun dog friends - but isn't quite sure about those leash things they carry around with them. He is a smart dog who warms up with patience and calm encouragement. Mateo would thrive in a home with other dogs to show him the ropes and with people who take it slow and steady.

Story
Penny is a 2-year-old, 25-lb mixed breed sweetheart with a gentle heart and a playful spirit. She can be a little shy when meeting new people, but once she warms up, her happy, outgoing personality shines through. Penny’s favorite place to be is right by her people’s side—whether that’s hanging out at home or playing with her toys.She is house trained and crate trained, and can comfortably be crated during a typical workday. Penny has a medium energy level—she will happily join you for activity, then settle in for cuddle time. Her leash manners are still a work in progress but she’s eager to learn with a little patience and consistency.Penny does well with other dogs and kids, while her experience with cats is still unknown. She’s adaptable and could thrive in an apartment or a home with a yard. Grooming is simple, just regular brushing and the occasional bath.What makes Penny extra special is her silly side—she gets adorable, random bursts of energy that are sure to make you smile—but at the end of the day, all she really wants is love and companionship. Penny would be a wonderful addition to a family looking for a loyal, affectionate best friend. 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
Odie is a good boy and deserves a good family. He is 3 and a half, purebred, in tact (no naughty behaviors), house trained, and is very good with kids and other pets, but please keep in mind he is a big boy and likes to “hug” by pressing up against you (he doesn’t jump though!), so he could knock someone over with his weight but would never ever do it on purpose. He has never bitten anyone ever. We love him but due to financial circumstances and mental health issues, I’m doing the wrong thing by keeping him in this environment. The last thing I want to do is give him up, but it is best for him, as long as he goes to the right family. I would love to FaceTime to introduce you to him.

Story
Hello, I'm Queen, a nine-year-old pit bull who believes true royalty doesn't need to demand attention, it simply receives it. I'm calm, affectionate, and enjoy spending time with my people, happily accepting gentle pets and quiet companionship like the dignified lady I am. I may not be into rowdy play, but I shine when it comes to loyalty, sweetness, and ruling over cozy naps. If your home is missing a little elegance and a lot of love, I'd be honored to be the Queen of your castle.*Qualifies for Pets for Patriots program*Qualifies for Senior to Senior programPlease email Adoptions@saltlakecounty.gov with questions Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 47 Age: 9yrs 5mths 0wks
