Watch Cuddle Bear on 

My name is Cuddle Bear and I, along with a bunch of my Chihuahua friends, were rescued from a very bad living environment.  (Can you say “backyard breeder”?)  

Anyway, we were rescued and I found my way to CAAWS in hopes that they can find me my next loving, caring, devoted family.  

I am a male Chihuahua born approximately 1/03.  I have been neutered, brought up to date on shots and have tested heartworm negative on (7/14/10) after completing heartworm treatment.   I also do not have many teeth left due to my previous non-medical care, but I do fine eating soft food or having my hard food softened.  I am very scared and timid when first meeting someone, but if you hold me and tell me that it is all going to be ok and that you will never send me back to that awful place that I came from, I’ll open up and trust you.  

Since my health and well being were ignored, I don’t have many teeth left, so soft food mixed with a little hard (to help the ones I do have) really is helpful when eating breakfast and supper.  I know it takes a little more time to prepare, but I promise I’m worth it.

My name is Angel (need I say more) and I am a female Border Collie/Terrier mix born approximately 10/09.  I am up to date on shots, spayed and current on heartworm prevention. 

I thought I had found my forever home for Christmas, but seems I can be a little food aggressive with other dogs and that ended me right back where I started.  I don’t mind if humans get close to my food, it’s just something about another four-legger trying to get my kibble.  Guess I was on my own long enough to learn to “protect” my food from other strays such as myself. 

I was originally found trying to check myself into a local daycare.  I had heard that they always have good snacks and the kids usually need a good licker to get the remaining food off their faces there. 

I get along with cats, dogs (when we aren’t around tasty vittles) and kids.  Please consider letting me join your family.  I’ll work on my table manners if you promise to love me.

My name is Lucy. I was born about 9/09.  

I was picked up out of the road with Ese and Spud by a kind soul.

CAAWS is trying to help find us good homes.  I will be spayed upon adoption.  People say that have the absolute sweetest personality and the prettiest coat. I am a bit shy at first but I just love to curl up at your feet.

I am heartworm negative and have had all my shots.  The vet thinks I look like a cross between a Terrier and Whippet.

I am fully grown and weight about 35 lbs...which is just the right size for cuddling.

My name is Rocky and I am a male Chihuahua  born 2/04.  I am up to date on shots, neutered and heartworm negative. 

My previous family had to give me up due to family circumstances beyond my control.  I guess that was lucky for me because I had hurt both of my back legs and nothing was getting done about it.  Once I entered the CAAWS program though I immediately went to the vet and found out that I had bi-lateral (both back legs) torn cruciate ligaments.  I’ve had surgery now to repair them and with a little TLC, I’ll be good as new. 

I am a very sweet little guy who loves belly rubs and does fine with other dogs.  Children on the other hand make me nervous and I tend to get nippy around them.  My foster mom and I have had a talk about my weight and she has expressed her concern for me.  So, she has decided that I am on a diet (this was also beyond my control).  But she is right and I am such a little man that my inner tube around my belly is bad for my legs. 

I am a really good boy with my potty habits and haven't gone in my foster home once.  Just don't make me hold it too long and expect my bladder to be the size of a lab.  I am in the market for a new family that has a lot of love to give and can take the unconditional love that I dish out.  You can come see me on Saturdays at CAAWS. 

Love, Rocky!

The name’s Laverne, and I’m a female Terrier/Lab mix born approximately 1/07.

I am up to date on shots, spayed and heartworm negative.

Here’s the scoop on me. Late one night, my previous people dumped my sister, Shirley, and I on the road because they decided they didn’t love us anymore. I don’t get it. What’s not to love.

We get along great with other dogs (especially with each other - in case you’re looking for two), cats and adults. We are very shy at first, so a home without small children would be best for us. Anyway, since getting out of the car wasn’t an option, here we are – cute, sweet, loving and available.

Everyone tells us we will not be that way for long (the available part of course) and I sure hope they are right.

Wow!  Can you see my ribs and hipbones in my picture?

Well, I know I feel them when I lay down.  When that many are poking ok, it cannot be good.  

I was found by a good Samaritan and now I am finally able to eat on a daily basis and sleep inside an air conditioned place.  

CAAWS has brought me up to date on shots, spayed me and tested me for heartworms.  After completing heartworm treatment I have tested heartworm negative on 7/14/10.  

I know it is hard to believe that a Pit Bull could get along with other dogs and cats, but I do and I am a female Pit.  The vet estimated that I was born 8/07, so I’m a young gal.  

Are you the ones who will show me how good life really is and help me fill in the empty spaces in my life? 

When she knocked on the door of the CAAWS building, she was looking for a place to stay and someone that would tell her why her hair was so sparse in places. 

Well, once brought to the vet, it was determined that Celeste has Demodex Mange.  It is non-contagious and she had treatment for it and should soon have a full body of hair. 

She is a female Rat Terrier/Chihuahua mix born approximately 6/09.  She has been spayed, brought up to date on shots and tested negative for heartworms.  She has been around children and seems to do fine.  She would even love her own two-legged child to sleep with at night. 

Celeste is a true sweetheart and has a lot of love to give a family.

Thanks to Cindy M. for being Tuck's Best Buddy!

 What is it like?   Having a home to go to every night and being able to go into stores that will let you walk in and come out with food.  

Since 12/07 (my approximate date of birth) I’ve tried this life, but the humans just wouldn’t let it be.  I showed up at a house once to rest my weary bones but was quickly turned away.  I tried the nearest store for food, but was chased away again.  

Then came the dreaded day when I was picked up by animal control.  Hi, my name is “no – bad dog!”  Since that was so hard to say, I changed it to Tuck (since my way of living was tucking my tail and running).  Things are looking up for me now since I’m a resident of CAAWS.  It’s been a pretty rough life so far, and I’m ready to settle down.  Can you help me out?  

The CAAWS people think I am a mixture of black Lab and McNab.  I am up to date on shots, was neutered and have completed heartworm treatment as of 7/10.   I get along with other dogs.  But I am an all around loving guy with a great personality and who loves to greet you with a smile.  Who couldn’t use that everyday when they come home from work?
