Miniature Poodle puppies and dogs in Holladay, Utah

Meet Ruben Humphrey!Ruben Humphrey is a 10-year-old poodle / terrier mix (14 lbs) with white silky fur, a curly tail, and the spark of a dog half his age. He came to CAWS after being found as a stray at a local shelter, and he has wasted no time winning over every human he meets. Truly, this little guy has yet to find a person he doesn’t adore.Ruben is incredibly sweet and affectionate. The moment he spots a human, he jumps up hoping for cuddles and attention. He’s endlessly curious and loves exploring every corner of his world.Walks are pure joy for him. With his excited zig-zag trot, he encourages his human to pick up the pace and enjoy the adventure with him. His age may say “10,” but his energy says something much younger.Ruben is an independent guy who’s perfectly happy doing his own thing, but when he’s in the right mood, he enjoys interacting and playing with other dogs. He can sometimes come on a little strong at first, but he’s learned doggy boundaries and has been doing great with his foster siblings, big and small, as he practices polite play. He’d likely enjoy a well-matched canine companion who communicates clearly.Ruben does have some resource-guarding tendencies, particularly with food. He’ll thrive in a home that provides routine, structure, and an adopter who’s comfortable managing mealtimes and supporting healthy boundaries. Ruben loves being near his people and is learning that his crate can be a cozy, safe hangout spot. He hasn’t been cat-tested yet.To meet this spry, snuggly little character, please fill out an application at www.caws.org/adoption-application.CAWS does not place animals on a first-come, first-served basis; we strive to find the perfect home for each animal.

Meet Copito – Your Loyal Lapdog with a Love for Fetch and Snuggles! Copito is a 4-year-old poodle-dachshund mix with a heart full of love and a tennis ball never far from his side. Whether he's happily trotting around the yard or curled up in your lap chewing his favorite toy, Copito is always happiest when he's close to his person. This charming little guy is affectionate, gentle, and playful once he feels comfortable—and he forms strong bonds quickly. He loves to be by your side (or in your lap!) and will gladly ride in the car with you, settling in for a cozy nap during the drive. Copito is a polite leash walker, very dog-friendly, and has done great meeting other respectful pups. He even did well when introduced to a cat—he gave a curious sniff and then went on his way like a true gentleman. Copito has medium energy and would enjoy a home where he can play fetch, go for daily strolls, and then snuggle up for some serious cuddle time. Because he's a sensitive soul, Copito needs a little time to adjust in new environments and prefers a calm, low-traffic home where he can feel safe. He’s not a fan of surprise introductions, so a home with clear boundaries and a slow, respectful approach to visitors would suit him best. Once he feels secure, he’s incredibly loving, loyal, and eager to be your shadow. Due to his alert nature, Copito wouldn’t be the best fit for apartment living, but he’ll thrive in a quiet home with a yard and someone who’s around often—he really blossoms with attention and routine. If you're looking for a devoted companion with a playful side and lots of love to give, Copito is ready to meet his forever person. Could that be you? Questions?

Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress!    Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond.   Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.    The rescue’s hard costs alone (excluding transport) for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,368. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue.  While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs.   It doesn’t stop there! Our adopters also receive these SPECIAL PERKS:   Extensive behavioral testing and information from trainers on our staff to ensure the perfect fit for your family  Discounts on Embark DNA test kit- $30 off of Breed ID test & $50 off of Breed ID plus Health test 30 day trial of pet insurance with Trupanion A free private online dog training session with GoodPup, plus low pricing for future sessions  70% off of your first order of Fetch, a delicious PNW based fresh dog meatballs subscription Coupons for a fun visit to Petco 20% off of Dr. Cuddles pet first aid and hygiene solutions Discounted heartworm, flea prevention, and monthly dewormer  Access to our exclusive FB Adopters page, where you can network for play dates, resources, and connect with other adopters that share their passion for their adopted pup!   Did you know that the Greater Houston area faces some of the highest stray and overpopulation rates in the nation?

Our goal is simple— to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and by rescuing animals from the streets or overcrowded shelters where euthanasia due to lack of space is often the only option.
