My story

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

Meet Scoops LePue! Scoops LePue is a goofy, confident and fun-loving pup with a unique personality and a love for adventure! This 8 year old, easy-going chiweenie enjoys being around people and is always ready to show off his impressive repertoire of tricks, including 'sit', 'wait', 'lay down', 'spin', 'stick 'em up', and even 'bang'. He has great recall and absolutely loves going on hikes, making him a perfect companion for an active family.

Scoops is friendly and playful, and he would thrive in a home where he can feel secure and comfortable. He gets along with dogs his size of all ages and temperaments, but has had some past reactivity with very dominant male dogs. Though he can be a bit excitable around other dogs at first, he loves to play and matches the energy of those around him. When it comes to cats, he’s unbothered and simply ignores them.

At home, Scoops is crate trained, house trained, dog door trained, and enjoys finding the coziest spot to curl up for a snooze. He absolutely loves cuddles and belly scratches! He does well in an apartment setting as long as he gets his daily walks and exercise or a home with a yard to explore. He can be left alone for short periods without anxiety and rides fairly well in the car.

Scoops would do best in a home with older and/or dog-savvy kiddos who understand appropriate interaction with a small dog. He would do well with a canine friend similar in size, but would also be happy as the center of attention. Scoops LaPue is sure to be a loyal, entertaining, and adventurous companion!

Could Scoops be the perfect fit for your home?

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.
