Story
Lady Bug is an approximately 9 month old large terrier mix. She can be shy at first, but really warms up quickly! She seeks affection and wants to be a cuddle bug. Lady is currently living with two little kids (2 and 4 year olds) and seems to love the chaos of the house. She does a good job of playing during play time and then relaxing the rest of the day. She gets along with the older resident dog, but would benefit from a home with more dog socialization. As Lady Bug becomes more accustomed to her foster home, she has started really loving playing fetch and chase with her little humans. Lady Bug would make an excellent running and hiking dog and a great family pet. 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. Lady Bug's adoption fee is $200. If you are interested in adopting Lady Bug, or another CAWS animal, please fill out an application here: http://caws.org/adoption-application. If you are interested in adopting a CAWS pet, please fill out an online application at https://caws.org/adoption-applicationJanuary 10, 2025, 6:23 am

Story
Luna is a beautiful young Basset Hound. Her training is well under way but will need a committed family to help her be the best little Basset she can be! She is playful and affectionate. This sweet young girl would love a playmate to help with her high energy level. As an only dog, she would need a person that plans to spend a lot of time with her. Luna is very sweet and starting to approach her young adult years.

Story
Duke is a classic European-style Basset. He is young, playful, and needs a lot of attention and training. (He has a good start on his training but still needs some work.) Duke would do best with only one other dog in his home. He is handsome, affectionate and a little needy. Please, give Duke some consideration as you look for a new family member. He's an amazing guy for sure!
