Linus

My brother, Yogi, and I should be the poster children for a spay/neuter campaign. See, if our mom would have been spayed, we wouldn't be homeless.

Yes, CAAWS will find us a good home, but for every one us that is saved, several more lose their lives all because of the amount of un-spayed and unneutered pets in the world.

CAAWS has had us neutered, brought us up to date on shots and tested us for heartworms. Which, by the way, we are negative.

We are male Schipperke/Papillion mixes and it was estimated that we were born approximately 7/08.

Even if you don't want to adopt my brother or I (which we would really love to go together), please spay and neuter your current pets. This is a non-paid advertisement from Linus and Yogi, spay/neuter advocates.

We really are cute!

Ace

Ace, yep, that's me, the, highest card possible in the deck. Unless of course you are playing Go Fish. But who likes to fish? Oh yeah, labs love the water, and I am no exception. I'm trying out for the swim team this coming summer.

I am a male lab born approximately 10/06. I am up to date on shots, have been neutered, tested negative for heartworms and weigh approximately 65 lbs. My foster mom says that I am a cuddly fellow. But, don't let my cuteness be mistaken for being a pushover. I seem to be a bit of an alpha male, so if you have other fur-babies, they will need to be submissive.

Also, I'm a bit stingy with my food and treats, so I might not do well in a home with small children in case they try to put their hands in my food. Guess this comes from not having a supply of kibble when I was on my own and now that it is provided on a daily basis, I'm very protective of it.

Speaking of when I was on my own, I seem to have been target practice for someone, because when foster mom found me I had been shot in my hip. I am okay now, but because of this senseless act of cruelty, I walk with a limp in my step (I call it my "strut"). Do not worry, I can still keep time with anyone.

Cane

See my video on YouTube 

Now Cane, a male Husky mix will perform a disappearing/reappearing act.

 Watch closely and I will disappear right before your eyes. Allakhazam!

I know your amazed, but this is just one of my many talents that I possess.

There are three steps to this trick, the 1st was me vanishing before your eyes. My part is done. The 2nd is for you to fill out an application on me and be spectacular enough to adopt me. Now for part 3, you will return home and I will appear at your house which is where I’m assuming will be my new forever home.

Thanks to everyone who made this magic act a success, I couldn’t have done it without you all.

I was born approximately 10/05. I am up to date on shots, neutered and have completed heartworm treatment as of January 2008.

Somewhat true to Cane’s profile, he is somewhat of a magician/escape artist. He will need at least a 6 foot fence to keep his curious nature at home.

He is a very good natured guy that loves attention and to be petted and loved on. He gets along well with other dogs and people. Come by the shelter and see if Cane can work his magic and make you fall in love with him like the CAAWS volunteers have.

Rhyden

Can someone please give me the address to the pound for humans.

See, I had to give my last humans away because I developed an allergy to them. The ones before that, I was moving and couldn't take them with me. Prior to that, I had a puppy and didn't have the time for the humans anymore.

Nevertheless, I'm in the market again and would like to adopt rather than purchase from a human breeder.

Hi, I'm Rhyden, a Bichon Frise/Poodle mix born approximately 12/04. I am up to date on shots, neutered and heartworm negative. I weigh approximately 12 lbs. and am a sweetheart.

I'm shy at times, so small children and I probably won't be a good match. I do like playing with other pups but could just as easily be pampered and spoiled as the only pet. Either way is fine with me, just as long as I get a home and a family to love me. Love Rhyden!

Denver

My name is Denver and I am a male Pit mix born approximately January of 2005. I have been from pillar to post in the last year. I was a victim of Hurricane Katrina but was rescued and brought to Lamar Dixon.

A lady with the Coast Guard planned to adopt me and take me home with her to "Denver" Colorado when she returned (which I was very excited about). When she learned of the pit bill ban/euthanasia rule that is in effect in Colorado, she tried to explain this to me and we were both VERY upset.

I am up to date on shots and neutered. I am heartworm positive, but for whatever lucky soul gets me, my heartworm treatment will be paid for. After what I've been through and being bounced around so much, I'm sure you can understand that I am a little shy when first meeting someone, but I come around quickly to a kind voice and loving hands.

I am unsure of cats, but I am housetrained, great on a leash and love other dogs (large and small). Please look past my initial frightened, withdrawn demeanor, and know that with a little love and patience, I will trust you and can prove to be the most loyal, loving friend you've ever imagined.

Maxine would like to thank Brenda for being her best buddy.

To find out more about CAAWS best buddy program and how you can become a best buddy visit www.caaws.org and click on best buddy program on the right hand side.

CAAWS would like to tell you a little about Maxine. She is too shy to talk right now, so we will be her voice. Maxine was found running on the side of the road hungry, scared and it was very obvious that the human race had failed her (on every occasion).

When you are on your own every day and night, when it's hot or cold, sunny or rainy, and the only human contact available is one more mean person scatting you away or throwing things at you, you begin to not trust those with two legs. But CAAWS is going to show this young lady that despite everything she has learned from humans in the past, humans can be humane.

She is making great strides in her foster home and is trusting humans once again. She gets along with other dogs, but thinks that cats would make great chew toys, so she needs a house with no cats. Quick movements still scare her so she needs a home with NO children.

She is up to date on shots, spayed and has completed heartworm treatment (4/17/06). Maxine is a female Shepherd mix who was born approximately 3/04.

Are you the right person for Maxine? Can you be what she needs and deserves? Are you patient and understanding, loving and caring? When she sees that she is able to live without being hurt, some lucky family will be smothered with unconditional love.

Josie

My name is Josie and I am a female Boxer.  I was born 10/05.  I am a really gentle girl who just wants a home where I am safe and fed and loved.  Is that too much to ask for? 

I was found on side of the road so weak from starvation that I could no longer stand.  I am now on the road to recovery.  I have gained several pounds, I have been spayed , and am up to date on shots.  Due to my previous condition I am heartworm positive; however, if you'd like to adopt me now CAAWS will pay for my heartworm treatment.  

I will do fine with children as there is a child in my foster home and I get along great with him.   I need a home where I am the only pet, due to my previous years of abuse I don't always do well with other animals.  I just want to be the queen of my household.  I deserve it at this point. 

I enjoy  my walks and getting petted.   My cute vet said that I was probably used as a puppy making factory and then dumped when I was no longer meeting their needs.  I am mostly housebroken. I don’t bark much, only when I need to alert you that someone is at my door.  So talk to me, see me wagging my nub?  I like  you, you can tell by my happy face which I wear all the time.  Do you like me enough to fall in love with me and take me home?  

Foster mom says I am the best dog she ever has had.  WOW!  That says a lot about me!!!

Keelan

Studies show that owning a pet can dramatically reduce stress levels, lower blood pressure and ward off depression.

So the way I look at it, you can make numerous visits to several different types of doctors trying to figure out if you are stressed and need Valium, have high blood pressure and need a Beta-blocker or are depressed and need an anti-depressant. OR, you can pay $95.00 for me. Which will it be?

I myself am a little stressed and wish I had money to purchase a pet. My previous mom had to give me up because she was having financial problems of her own and thought it best to find me a another home with someone who could love me.

I am a male Chihuahua born approximately 8/01. Since entering CAAWS, I have been brought up to date on shots, been neutered and tested negative for heartworms. I am still a tad shaken up from losing my previous home and get scared kind of easily so a home without children would be best for me. I get along well with cats and other dogs (I tend to pretty much ignore them), since what I really love is hanging out with people.

Lilly

Thanks to Lynda E. for being Lilly's Best Buddy!

Watch my video on YouTube. Click here

I am Lilly, a beagle/Australian cattle dog, mix, born approximately July of 2001. 

I have been spayed, am up to date on shots and am heartworm negative.  I get along well with other dogs. 

I would do best in a home without small children.  I love to go for rides in the car and I walk well on a leash. 

I am approximately 35 lbs.  I am at my ideal weight.  My previous owners moved and could not keep me so I am now looking for a new home.  One that wants to receive love as well as give it. 

I am a very sweet girl who will make some family very lucky.

Spooky

My name is Spooky and it isn’t because of the way my crystal clear blue eyes look.  Actually, they are my best feature, other than my personality. 

I am a male Golden Retriever mix born approximately 4/06.  I am up to date on shots, neutered and tested positive for heartworms.  Putting me through treatment should be a breeze since I’m such a laid back guy and CAAWS will pay for it. 

I’m good with kids, other dogs and although we don’t know for certain, probably would be alright with cats.  I am great with humans and will make a very loyal family member and friend should you choose to adopt me.

Mississippi

Yes, I was named Mississippi because I was found stuck on a landing on the Mississippi River and my rescuer had to even tie himself off to reach where I was so he would then be able to pull us both back up.  Boy, I don’t remember how I ended up in that area, all I know is that I sure am glad he came along. 

I am a male Shih-Tzu born approximately 4/08.  I have been neutered, and up to date on shots and tested negative for heartworms.  Personally I think the mosquitoes couldn’t get through my matted hair to infect me which was actually was a good thing. 

Although when I arrived at CAAWS, I had to be shaved down because I was so badly matted. I am good with other dogs, but am nervous around small children.  Do you live far away from the Mississippi River and need an addition to your family?  I’m your guy.
