Story
Elsa is 8 years young and came from a neglect and abuse case in Colorado. She was confiscated from her "family," along with her son, Olaf. Elsa was so afraid when she arrived to our rescue and wouldn't stop shaking in the back of her crate. It took two weeks for her to gain confidence and trust us enough to start exploring the rescue. The rest is history... since Elsa created a bond with us, she has opened up SO much! She lives for her walks, is obsessed with snuggles and will quite literally follow you anywhere you go. She is wonderful on car rides and loves a good pup cup! Elsa's ideal family is someone who will continue to dress her up and treat her like the queen she is... lol. But really, she would thrive as an only pup who will spend the rest of her days spoiled, loved and cherished. She is going to make the most loyal and loving companion to a very lucky person/family.

Story
Olaf is a 6 year old, deaf Pittie who is the perfect mix of sweet and sensitive. He came from a home of abuse and neglect. Often, getting attacked by his dad, a large male Pittie, without intervention from his owners. He and Elsa were confiscated and saved from their awful home. Olaf is now looking for a family who can understand that he needs special care and training due to being deaf. Olaf, although he looks tough, is equally as sensitive and eager to trust. Olaf would love a family that has a yard and is home often, as he loves to be close to his humans! He is great on walks, has the biggest appetite, and loves being goofy with those that he trusts! Olaf loves car rides, is obsessed with foods (except carrots), and loves going for walks, as long as his human can advocate for him and take space from situations that Olaf doesn't hear coming like runners. Olaf is dog selective and has done great with dogs here at the rescue with slow and proper introductions so a home with another female pup will be considered on a case by case basis!

Story
Meet Maui — The Sweet, Goofy Companion You’ve Been Waiting For! Maui is a sweet, 60lb wiggly, people-loving boy who warms up quickly and becomes an affectionate, goofy companion. At 4 years old, he’s a great mix of playful energy and the ability to settle nicely once he’s had some interaction. He’s easy to leash, walks well with guidance, and does great in his kennel with minimal vocalizing.Maui enjoys meeting new people and responds well to redirection. He loves playing with other dogs and is happiest when he has a buddy to romp with. He’s still learning some doggy manners and can come on a bit strong at first, but there’s zero aggression—just enthusiasm. If another dog barks to tell him he’s being too much, Maui simply gives a goofy “okay!” and wanders off to find a new playmate.Because he does show some prey drive, Maui would do best with medium or larger dog friends and no cats or small animals.Maui is a truly special dog—loving, joyful, and eager to bond deeply with his people. He’s the perfect mix of playful energy and cuddle-buddy sweetness. With just a bit of structure and continued training, Maui will shine as a loyal, fun, and devoted companion.If you’re looking for a dog who will adore you, make you laugh, and be by your side through it all, Maui is ready to meet you. 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.
