Story

Meet Woofgang Puck, or just Puck for short! This lovable 8-year-old Chihuahua mix is a little bundle of joy, possibly with a sprinkle of Beagle in his genes. At first, Puck may come off as shy, but give him a moment, and his playful side will shine like a star! Puck adores his toys and loves to get into some light-hearted trouble—just picture him as the life of the party! He enjoys his naps, but don’t let him miss out on the fun; after all, who wants to snooze through an adventure? He loves being outside, but keep an eye on him—if the yard isn’t secure, he might go on his own mini explorations. And be careful! If a door is left open, he’s ready to dash out! When it comes to other dogs, Puck needs a little help. He has a tendency to “assist” them with their meals, which can be quite annoying. His friendly greetings can be a bit much—he barks, jumps, and wags his tail enthusiastically, which may confuse his canine pals. With some training, he can learn to tone it down. He’s also learning how to handle his protective instincts, but if you have other pets, be prepared to guide him through it. Puck is quite the jumper when he’s excited and might unexpectedly leap onto you, giving playful nips at your legs! He listens when corrected but often forgets the rules once the fun starts again. While he’s crate trained, Puck feels much more comfortable snoozing on a cozy bed rather than being confined to a crate. Sleeping in your bed isn’t something he’s into just yet. The good news is, he’s house trained and will let you know when it’s time to go out. Puck does have a heart murmur and takes medication twice a day for it. He can get a bit anxious, especially when being picked up or during car rides, and sitting on laps isn’t really his scene. This sweet boy is looking for a forever home filled with love, patience, and understanding. With your support, Puck will be ready for short hikes and exciting adventures with his favorite human! Puck has been neutered, is current on vaccines, has tested negative for heartworm and is microchipped. He also had a recent dental and lost a few teeth. If you are interested in adopting Puck, please complete an adoption application on our website. Just go to uaaf.org/adopt.

Nora

Chihuahua Dachshund

Female, 5 yrs 2 mos

Salt Lake City, UT

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Hi, I’m Nora! I’m a 6-year-old Chihuahua/Dachshund mix with a BIG personality and an even bigger heart. I love to make an entrance—whether I’m zooming down the hallway or running in and out of the house, you’ll hear me coming! My tail is usually wagging, and I’m always excited to see my people. When playtime is over, I’m a total snuggle bug and would be very happy curled up next to you on the couch. I’m loyal to the core and once I choose my person, you’re my person forever. I can be a little sassy (okay, maybe a lot), but that’s part of my charm. I also LOVE toys—seriously, I’ve built quite the collection and I’m very proud of it. I get along with other dogs, though I can be a bit bossy at times. I don’t have to be an only pup, but I do best with dog-savvy humans who understand that small dogs can have big feelings. I’m very protective of my people and just want to keep them safe. Cats? Well… I think they’re fun to chase, so I’d probably prefer a home without them (or with cats who can stand their ground). The good news? I’m crate trained, house trained, great on a leash, spayed, vaccinated, heartworm negative, microchipped—and I just had a dental, so my smile is sparkling. If you’re looking for a sweet, spunky, toy-loving cuddle buddy with loads of personality, I might be your girl. I promise to love you fiercely and keep life entertaining. If you are interested in adopting Nora, please complete an adoption application on our website (uaaf.org/adopt).

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Hi there! I’m Brutus. I’m a compact package of charm looking for a long-term commitment. Whether you have a full house or it’s just the two of us, I’m ready to be the king of your castle. I’m a social butterfly who navigates through a pack of dogs with ease—mostly because I’m taking the shortest route to your lap. I’m independent enough to keep my cool while you’re at work (no separation anxiety here!) but I’ll greet you at the door like you’re a rockstar returning from a world tour. I’m a pro on the leash. Let’s hit the pavement and turn some heads. I’m currently living with a feline named Heidi. She’s pretty chill and I don’t mind her at all. If your cat has the same cool energy, we’ll get along swimmingly. I’m a fan of the crate and a big cozy rug. However, if you happen to leave a spot open on the big bed I will magically appear there. I’m a work in progress when it comes marking my new territory. I’m currently rocking a stylish bellyband while I learn the ropes. If you can keep me on a steady schedule and watch for my cues, I’m a golden student. I’m also a champ at using potty pads if we have a little communication breakdown! Are you the one for me? If you enjoy soft snores, velvety ears, and a loyal companion who thinks your lap is the best seat in the house, apply to meet me! Brutus has been neutered, is current on vaccines, has had a dental, has tested negative for heartworm and is microchipped. If you are interested in adopting Brutus, please complete an adoption application on our website (uaaf.org/adopt).

Cady

Jack Russell Terrier

Female, 10 yrs 3 mos

Salt Lake City, UT

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Cady is an adorable senior lady with a big personality! She’s sweet, but she definitely knows what she likes and doesn’t like, especially when it comes to sharing her space with other dogs. Food is her treasure, and she can be quite protective of it! Cady is pretty clever, too. She can use a dog door, as long as it’s not too high. She’s also good with stairs, but honestly, she’d rather be carried — who wouldn’t want to be pampered a bit? When it comes to her favorite activities, Cady loves nothing more than lounging around and getting some love. She’ll happily snuggle up while you pet her, often drifting off to sleep in sheer bliss. She’s not the type to run around nonstop; she prefers a laid-back lifestyle. However, it’s good to keep in mind that Cady might not be the best fit for homes with small children, as she can be a little particular about her space. Overall, she’s a lovely companion who enjoys chilling out and soaking up affection! Cady has been spayed, is current on vaccines, has tested negative for heartworm and is microchipped. If you are interested in adopting Cady, please complete an adoption application on our website (uaaf.org/adopt). For more information, please call/text Tammy at 801-230-9789 or email Tammygustaveson525@gmail.com

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Kahlo, a young adult terrier with a thoughtful spirit and a heart that just needs a little time to bloom. She’s a sweet girl who can be wary of strangers at first, preferring to observe from a safe distance until she feels comfortable. Kahlo will do best with a patient, understanding home that’s willing to give her space to build confidence at her own pace. With consistency, kindness, and gentle guidance, she’s sure to grow — not just in confidence, but in trust and connection with her people. If you’re looking for a special companion and are willing to invest the time and care it takes to help a sensitive dog feel safe, Kahlo could be a wonderful match. Visit the Best Friends Lifesaving Center in Salt Lake City or email utahadoptions@bestfriends.org to meet her.
