Story
Who's the sweetest girl?! Meet Jackie, a 3-year-old pit bull mix and undeniably the sweetest girl! Jackie loves people of all sizes, especially children. She's a gentle and easygoing girl with so much love to give. Jackie came to CAWS from a local shelter where she was a staff favorite. She's a medium energy dog who needs daily exercise - she loves walks and is benefitting from extra practice while on leash, and enjoys a good game of fetch. She also loves swimming and going for rides in the car. Jackie can be a little choosy with her dog friends, but can live with medium to large dogs after a proper introduction and time for them to build their friendship. She shouldn't live in a home with small dogs, cats or other animals. Jackie weighs 44 pounds, but could stand to safely gain a few more lbs. She's crate trained and house trained, and eager to find her forever home! Is it yours? If you’re interested in Jackie, please fill out an application at http://caws.org/adoption-application. 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
Meet Rocco! This handsome boy is an 8-year-old, 80-pound labrador retriever and pit bull terrier mix who recently made his way to CAWS after spending 18 months in a rural West Texas shelter. This guy is so deserving of a forever home and family of his own. Rocco knows all the basic commands and walks very easily on the leash. He loves to play fetch with balls and always brings it back for more. He takes treats very gently and has no problem sharing his toys with the two dogs in his foster home. Rocco isn't a fan of the crate (can you blame him?), but is trustworthy in the house when left uncrated, both alone and with the other dogs. He's a little nervous around the resident cat, but with some time and training he will soon realize cats are cool and not scary! Rocco is very quiet and affectionate, he loves having his face and head scratched, and he really loves snoozing on the couch and his foster mom's bed. He's even gotten comfy enough to lightly snore! Rocco clearly loves living in a home and seems so grateful for every moment. If you'd like to meet Rocco, please fill out an application at http://caws.org/adoption-application. 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.

Story
Don't tell Margot Robbie, but we have the best Barbie right here! This sweet 6-year-old pit bull mix is ready for her starring role beside Ryan Gosling's Ken. In addition to her gorgeous smile, our Barbie is a pure entertainer — energetic and curious, and enthusiastic about life. She has a zeal for life that is a joy to be around. This gal weighs about 40 pounds and is ready to find a forever home that will allow her to shine! Barbie hasn't had much training in her life, but we think she's a natural. She's working on house training and crate training in her foster home, and she's proven herself to be a quick study at all things basic obedience. Barbie gets along well with other dogs after a proper introduction, and would make a wonderful co-star with a canine friend who complements her personality. Barbie would do better with older kids and an active family that will keep her mentally and physically engaged. If you'd like Barbie to join your cast, please fill out an application at http://caws.org/adoption-application. 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. Barbie’s adoption fee is $200.

Blue is an excellent dog for you if you work from home. He is potty trained and low energy and maintenance. He likes going on short walks but taking his time to stop and smell the roses. He loves to cuddle in bed or the couch and give kisses. He has been very good being left alone at home without the need for crating.

Story
This beautiful creatures name is Willow. I got her from a young man who could no longer care for her at four months old. She has been with me for the past four years. Willow was a foster fail as my other dog passed shortly after getting her and then my son a few months later. She is house trained, kennel trained, and really just a big lover. She loves going on adventures and cuddling on the couch. She thinks kids are the best thing ever and will never turn down a treat. Willow's ideal home is one where she can live her best life sun bathing and running around a yard. One where she can give her whole self to her family. Willow is not a fan of cats and does well with most other dogs. If Willows forever home is with you, you will never be without a best friend, adventure partner or cuddle buddy. She is up to date on vaccines, spayed and microchipped.

Story
Maizie is a young, small, pitbull mix around 1 yo that absolutely LOVES everyone and everything. She is partially (or fully) deaf and will need an adopter that is willing to train her despite her loss of hearing. Maisie would be great around all ages of respectful children and she absolutely adores kids, maybe even more than other animals. She also loves all dogs and cats and wants to play non-stop ! She would be happiest in a home with children and/or another younger active dog. Need a companion for that puppy that is driving you nuts – then she is your gal ! She would happily play all day long if you let her. She is night time crate trained and is working on her daytime crate training. Housetrained. Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Story
Meet Kash, a good boy with a low key personality that is looking for a calm home to settle into. Kash is a 7 year old, petite 36# boxer or bully mix of sorts, who gets along with all people and pets- he is a sweet and loving boy! Kash especially loves kids, and happily lives parallel with other dogs and cats. He loves to play in the water and goes wild for a game of fetch! Kash is house trained and is excellent about using the dog door to go outside. His favorite places to be are with his people, snoozing on the couch, or following anyone around in the yard. He is an extra, EXTRA loyal and loving boy who is looking forward to the second half of his life and being with people who will provide a balanced home for him to thrive in. Kash is a generally nervous boy who is seeking a balanced and calm home where he can mirror match the calm energy of his people. He can be anxious at times and does take a couple of doggy medications that are affordable, and will help him to stay calm and relaxed throughout his day. He prefers to not be left alone too often, and would be happiest where someone was home with him or able to take him along most of the time. Bonus if you have other calm and confident dogs in the home to provide him companionship. If you think you might have a special place for this extra loving boy please apply online at caws.org. Kash is fixed, vaccinated and microchipped. His adoption fee is just $200. Thanks!

Bulldog

Male, 5 yrs , Special Needs
Salt Lake City, UT
Size

Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
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.
