Story
Meet this sensitive girl whose heart is bigger than her adorable ears. She is estimated to be a 2 year old German Shepherd Dog. She LOVES to play (and play and play). She's an affectionate goofball with endless enthusiasm who deserves to live her greatest adventure yet. Roxy can be shy/fearful with new people. She is very friendly when people give her the time and space to go at HER pace to get comfortable. When someone imposes themselves on her quicker than what she feels safe with, she may fearfully react. Roxy's foster parents will work with her new family to have a smooth, low-stress, incremental transition for her so that everyone is set up for success. In order to be considered as the future protector of her heart, below are the must-haves: -A fenced-in yard with plenty of open space -An active home with at least 1 other active dog to help her burn energy and save both your and her sanity -Someone home most of the day -A 'controlled' environment that does not have 'strangers' going in and out.

Story
Hello! My name is Mav and Im a 5-6 year old Shepherd mix and I'm such a good boy. I am crate trained, but I am trustworthy to be left in the house when gone and I prefer that. I don't mark and have never had an accident. I get along great with kids. I am great with most dogs and possibly with dog savvy cats. I am a big guy and love to play fetch or with toys, so having a yard would be best. I'm such a smart boy with medium energy. My foster family takes me on a daily short walk, provides me toys, and throws the ball a few times per day in the backyard and I am good. Most of the time, I walk well on a leash, but due to my past history that I am working through, I can be reactive to other animals including humans that I haven’t been introduced to outside of my home. If they are invited into my home, I know they are okay. I have a custom muzzle that allows my mouth to fully open and allows all the sniffs. It has really helped me get closer to people outside the house and know that strangers and animals can be trusted again. Once I know you, I’ll love you forever, but I am protective and guard instincts are strong. Do you think you could let me love you and see my protective instincts as an asset? I would be so grateful and the most loyal companion.To meet Mav, fill out an online 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. His adoption fee is $200.

Story
Meet Gracie, a 4-year-old German Shepherd who is the perfect mix of affection, playfulness, and devotion. She's an overall confident and happy dog who wants to share her love with you. Gracie loves being outside, going for walks and she LOVES to play. A fenced yard and rousing game of fetch brings her great joy - she'll drop her ball at your feet and gaze at you with those soulful eyes while patiently waiting for you to take your turn. Treats are not a big thing for her but she is motivated by toys. Gracie is a stunning beauty at 65 pounds - she's physically and mentally strong, and needs humans who will continue to teach her how to walk politely on leash and who will keep her brain occupied through mental activities. She sometimes forgets her house manners and will try to get on a counter or other high surface, but she's a good listener who takes correction well. Gracie absolutely loves her people and she promises that you will be the apple of her eye, and asks that she be yours in return. She does not like to share your attention with other animals, and should be the only pet in the home. Gracie is fully house trained and crate trained, and quiet in the house. If you're looking for a canine companion to share your life with, Gracie is ready to become your steadfast and loving friend. To meet Gracie, please fill out an online application at http://caws.org/adoption-application. Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Story
Hi, I'm Alexia! I'm a sweet, easygoing, and playful dog searching for my FURever home. I love playing with Jolly Balls, chasing balls and squirrels, working with a flirt pole, napping, and anything that squeaks. I'm food- and toy-motivated, which makes training fun and easy! I've learned many commands, including sit, lay down, wait, bed, kennel, come, touch, up-up, and shake, and I'm working on place, gentle, leave it, watch me, and drop it. I enjoy structured walks, playtime, belly rubs, scratches, and plenty of naps in my dog bed or kennel. I walk well on a leash, ride calmly in the car, and keep my foster home clean and intact. I can be a little reactive with dogs on walks or new visitors but am improving with training. I'd thrive in an active, loving, single-pet home with a fenced yard and someone experienced with working breeds. Bonus if you love fetch, long walks, and belly rubs!

This is River Rose. She is one of the most incredible dogs Ive ever owned. Shes near human it seems lol. I am a single mom of two young children and she treats them as if they were her own. She protects them with her life. I unfortunately have been thru a bad divorce and live in a tiny condo. This home is far too small for this sweet dog and she deserves a better home with a yard. She deserves to be free. I work two jobs and am hardly home, therefore she doesnt get out much. Its not fair to her. She will be dearly missed but I am doing this for the sake of her well being and for her to live the rest of her days happy and free!

Story
Sunny came to us in 2020 from a loving family, who had adopted another pet and had need to rehome sunny (who was better behaved). Sunny has been a good dog for our small family. But with busy schedules and child care needs that come first, Sunny has not been able to receive the active play and running /walking that she deserves. She loves to run up and down along the fence to bark at the neighbors dog. She needs room to run and play with her new owners. She is a house dog and usually prefers to be inside where the people are. If you are outside frequently with her, she will be out with you. Same for inside. Comes with a kennel and two large beds. Plus dog food.

Dexter is a 2 year old German shepherd. He’s a big teddy bear. He loves cuddles and thinks he’s a lap dog. He’s been around his mom and dad his whole life. He’s always been good with other dogs but he’s nervous at first. He’s neutered and up to date on his shots. He has also been raised around cats. He’s very curious about cats and wants to play with them but doesn’t realize how much bigger he is.

Shadow is 8 years old. He’s a cuddly loving gentle boy. He specially loves kids. He was raised with an 8 year old who was a baby with him. He can be very protective. He can be stubborn but is very motivated by treats. Don’t leave your food unattended around him or he’ll claim it when you’re not looking. Other than lacking self control around yummy food he’s a good boy.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Well hello! My name is Indu which is Hindi for moon. I am a 4 year old Dutch shepherd mix who is about 65 lbs. I am a sweet, shy girl who absolutely loves other dogs of all sizes and I mostly ignore cats. I need a family that is willing to be patient with me while I learn to trust people. In the time I’ve been with my foster family I’ve gone from spending most of my time outside or in the other room to sleeping on the bed, asking for pets, getting excited when the humans come home, and hanging out where everyone else is. It might take me a bit to be a confident dog who doesn’t shy away from new people, but I promise I will keep working so hard at it Loud noises and sudden movements kind of still scare me though so I would be best with kids 12 and over. I am house trained and have never had an accident. I know my name and come when I’m called. I’m not a barker and can be trusted to be left out while you’re away. I love walls and am working on not pulling on the leash-I’m just so excited!

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi! My name is Zilla! I am silly, playful and highly intelligent 2 year old Shepherd mix. I am unsure of new people and dogs at first so a slow approach would be best for me, but once I’m warmed up I love everyone and do well with other dogs. It would be beneficial if I had a dog sibling to help me become more comfortable and learn new things because I am more of a follower, not a leader. I am potty trained, crated trained and have some basic obedience training. My foster mom has been working with me on the stranger danger behavior so someone willing to continue confidence and relationship building training would be a good fit for me. I have not been around small children so older children would be more up my alley as I like to wiggle and play often.
