Elsa

Pit Bull Terrier Staffordshire Bull Terrier

Female, 8 yrs 4 mos
Salt Lake City, UT
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
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 Elsa's son who is 4 years old, deaf and the perfect mix of sweet and sensitive. Like Elsa, 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 in Colorado. 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. However, it'll take some time to show this sweet boy that humans are safe and not to be feared. Olaf has been in a board and train since arriving at the rescue and will remain with his trainer until he is adopted!

Story
Meet Potatoe!Potatoe is a 5-month-old Boxer/Herding mix with a huge heart and an even bigger personality. He’s looking for his forever home where he can share his endless love and energy!Potatoe came into rescue as a medical case. At just 6 weeks old, he was attacked by another dog, resulting in a skull fracture in three places. Thanks to excellent veterinary care and a loving foster home, Potatoe has healed beautifully. While we can’t be certain how his early injuries might affect him long-term, he’s currently thriving with no noticeable issues.Affectionately nicknamed “the rabbit” by his foster family, Potatoe is known for his joyful hops and mid-air leaps when he’s excited. He loves playing with toys, chewing on bones, and romping around with the other dogs in his foster home. He’s also incredibly sweet, gentle, and already house and crate trained!As a young pup, Potatoe is still learning. He’s making great progress with leash walking and basic commands, and he’ll need a family committed to continuing his training and helping him grow into a confident adult dog.Potatoe is truly a special pup who will bring joy, love, and laughter to the lucky family that adopts him.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. Potatoe's adoption fee is $300. If you are interested in adopting Potatoe, or another CAWS animal, please fill out an application here: http://caws.org/adoption-application.

She’s fully house and crate trained, and is calm, quiet, and completely trustworthy when left uncrated at home.While she’s come so far, Winnie is still learning some basics like leash walking, car rides, and simple commands. She’ll thrive with a patient family who can continue to guide her gently and consistently as she builds confidence.Her favorite things? Playing with her dog pals in the yard and soaking up all the scratches she can get from anyone willing to give them!Winnie is an incredibly sweet and loving soul who will make a wonderful, loyal companion to the right family.Dogs are not placed on a first-come first-serve basis.

Sawyer

Bulldog

Salt Lake City, UT
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Sawyer is a “Pocket Bully” born in September 2018 with a cleft lip, cleft palate, and spina bifida. He is currently eating and drinking safely on his own and we don’t believe his cleft lip/palate will require any surgical intervention. Sawyer will always need a little extra supervision to make sure he doesn’t eat anything dangerous for him, and will never be able to safely eat wet or goopy foods like canned food, peanut butter, yogurt, or any other liquids other than water. But otherwise he is expected to live a long, healthy life. The spina bifida causes Sawyer to be incontinent and to have some weakness in his back legs. He can walk and get around very well, but he will be in diapers for the rest of his life. He is a very happy, spunky pup and is friendly with humans and other dogs. He needs a committed home willing to give him the extra care he needs to thrive. Sawyer has been neutered, is current on vaccinations, has tested negative for heartworm and is also micro chipped. If you are interested in adopting, please complete our online adoption application at www.uaaf.org. For more information or to schedule an appointment, please email Jenn at jennc@mac.com or text at 801-554-9501.
