Story
Meet Forest, a 7-year-old Australian Shepherd mix with a gentle heart that’s still learning how to trust the world. Life hasn’t always been easy for him, and people are still a little scary—but with patience, kindness, and the comfort of a calm home, Forest is already showing that he can blossom.Now settling into a foster home, Forest is experiencing what it’s like to be a loved pet for the first time. He watches everything quietly, taking cues from the dogs around him. Other dogs are his safe place—he clings to them for confidence, follows their lead, and truly relaxes when he’s in their company. A friendly, steady canine companion will help him continue to grow.At the shelter, Forest surprised everyone with his bravery. He enjoyed rides in a stroller, where he felt secure enough to peek out and observe the world. Little by little, he even started taking gentle walks on leash, showing just how much possibility lies beneath his timid exterior.Forest is searching for a loving adopter who understands that trust takes time. He needs someone willing to move at his pace, offer space when he needs it, and celebrate every small step forward. With patience and a quiet, supportive home—especially one with another dog—Forest will keep coming out of his shell.If your heart has room for a shy dog with enormous potential, Forest is ready to begin that journey with you.

Story
This stunning guy is Misio, pronounced 'Misho' which is Polish for Teddy Bear. Misio is a 9 year old Australian Shepherd who is currently on a diet to get to his ideal weight of about 37 pounds. Misio is looking for a patient and mature household to live the rest of his years. He is working through some trust issues and is learning to let his guard down. But once he knows you are safe, he will be yours forever. Misio likes to be near people but isnt overly cuddly, he is content to be in his own space near you. He'd do best in a home with adults only and no other animals. Misio is still very active and he would love to be your hiking, camping, or running companion! He is very outgoing and loves to chase a ball around the yard. He is also very smart and picks up on training quickly. Misio needs a forever home that can provide him with mental stimulation and a physical outlet. He can be chill in the house, but is also not a couch potato. He is house trained and crate trained and walks well on leash. With a little bit of training, a dash of patience, and a person who will be active with him, Misio will be an amazing companion for years to come! Dogs are not placed on a first- come, first-served 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. If you are interested in adopting Misio, please fill out an online application at https://caws.org/adoption-application If you are interested in adopting a CAWS pet, please fill out an online application at https://caws.org/adoption-applicationJuly 24, 2025, 6:33 am

Story
Meet Benny! Looking for a brilliant best friend? This 6-month-old Border Collie/Aussie mix is as smart as he is sweet! Weighing in at 20 lbs, Benny is the perfect blend of brains, heart, and playful puppy energy.Benny is already crate-trained and house-trained, and he quickly adapts to household routines. True to his herding-dog roots, he’s eager to learn and loves having a “job” to do. He already knows how to sit and shake, and with his intelligence and eagerness to please, he’ll be a training superstar in no time.A little shy at first, Benny warms up with patience and kindness—then his affectionate side shines through. Once he trusts you, he’s a world-class cuddler who bonds deeply with his people.Benny thrives on both mental and physical activity. He has medium energy and would love a yard where he can run, play, and stretch those long legs. Because he’s still young, he’ll need a family that can give him time outside the crate and plenty of engagement throughout the day.He’s great with other dogs—his puppy enthusiasm can be a bit much for some, but a playful canine companion could be a perfect match. He tends to be curious around cats and will chase if they run.&#226&#156&#168 Bonus! Benny’s adoption includes two free training sessions with Clementine Dog Training, to help set him (and you!) up for success as he continues learning and growing.Benny would do best with:- A patient family familiar with herding breeds who can help him build confidence- Someone excited to continue positive reinforcement training and enrichment- A home with a yard for playtime- Potentially another playful, compatible dogIf you’re looking for a smart, loyal companion to grow with, Benny is your boy!Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Story
Meet Vampira, a 9-year-old Cattle Dog/Kelpie mix with a heart of gold and the best crooked-tooth smile you’ll ever see. Her grin alone could win anyone over, but it’s her sweet temperament and gentle spirit that truly make her shine.Vampira is a dog-friendly superstar — in fact, she’s often used as a neutral dog during dog testing at the shelter because of her calm, steady presence. Around other dogs, her fun, playful personality really comes out. She loves to romp, mingle, and enjoy good company, and she’d be thrilled to have a canine buddy in her new home (though she’d be just as happy soaking up love from her people).At 9 years old, Vampira is the perfect mix of mellow and ready-for-adventure: she’d enjoy a daily walk, some gentle playtime, and then a soft, cozy bed to curl up on. She’s looking for an adopter who wants a loyal companion by their side — someone who appreciates a loving dog with a quirky smile and a calm, joyful energy.If you’re searching for an affectionate, dog-savvy sweetheart to complete your home, Vampira is ready to steal your heart.

Story
Hi! My name is Maki (like a maki roll) and I love playing, snuggling, and going on runs. My favorite food is chicken and my favorite treat is peanut butter. I also like scratches (especially on my belly and butt) and eating bubbles. My main love language is quality time. I want to be with you as much as possible! I love resting my head on your lap as you work or relax and playing outside with you. Soothing music helps me wind down when it's time for bed. I love being outdoors but sometimes need extra reassurance around other dogs, new humans, and bicycles (so scary!). I am looking for a forever home instead of a fostering situation and would love to be your best friend forever.
