My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Paws is a 13 year male 18.8 pound black Dachshund mix. Our little man came to be a CAWS dog when his 2 legged people had to go to assisted living. His blood work is good and he is scheduled for a dental. He is on Fluoxetine for stress. We have started this little nugget on a healthy weight food so we can get his waist line down to around 15 pounds. Even being a few pounds overweight Paws bounds here there and everywhere and actually does 16 steps up and down during the day to help his foster mom work, such a wonderful assistant he is too. His hearing and eye sight seem to be pretty darn good for his age. He does marvelously with the other 4 legged furkids in his foster home with proper introductions. He gives his 2 legged people kisses but can do little nibbles as he gets pretty excited. He is totally house and crate trained but he does not have to be in a crate very often. He has not had a single accident in his foster home. He is not a barker, whew. He sleeps with his 2 legged people but will sleep in a bed on the floor, he does like his couch time cuddles too. Paws has so much love and unconditional devotion to give. He needs to spend the remainder of his precious little life in a house with a yard. If you are looking for the most precious and sweet friend and companion, please arrange a meet and greet with this magnificent gentleman.

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 $100.

Additional adoption info

Since we make a lifetime commitment to any animal that comes into our program, we only adopt out animals to people in our area..

If you are interested in adopting a CAWS cat or dog, please fill out the online application at http://www.caws.org/application/, email adopt@caws.org or call 328-4731. For the most timely response applying online is recommended.

We respond as quickly as possible but as we are a volunteer based organization and do not have full time staff, we respond as quickly as possible.

Go meet their pets

CAWS does not have a conventional shelter facility - all CAWS animals waiting for adoption are in foster homes. The number of animals we can help find new homes for is closely linked to how many CAWS foster homes are available. For additional information regarding how you, too, can become a foster, please see our fostering page located on our web site!

CAWS volunteers bring cats and dogs to the PetSmart near 2100 South and 300 West in South Salt Lake on the third and fourth weekends of each month

We are also at the Sugarhouse PETCO (1165 Wilmington Ave) the first Saturday of each month.
