Calling All Dog Lovers! 🐾

We urgently need foster homes for our adult dogs! Many of our dogs are in need of temporary placement, especially those with medical needs or those feeling stressed in the shelter environment.

By opening your home to a foster dog, you provide them with the love, care, and comfort they desperately need. Whether it’s a few days or a few weeks, your help can make all the difference in their lives. Plus, we provide all the necessary supplies to care for your foster pet, so it doesn't cost you anything!

If you’ve got a little extra space in your heart and home, please consider becoming a foster. Together, we can change their lives one dog at a time! 🐶❤️

🚨 Lost Dog Alert: Help Us Find His Family 🚨

This sweet boy, whom we’re calling "Daniel," was brought to CACC as a stray after sustaining serious injuries. He was immediately transferred into our care to receive the medical attention he needed. Unfortunately, Daniel is not microchipped and wasn’t wearing a collar when he was found.

We’re urgently searching for his owners or anyone who might know him. If you recognize Daniel or have any information about where he belongs, please reach out to us. Let’s get this sweet boy back to his family and let them know he is safe!

Tobias has been in the care of an amazing foster family for the past six months. They have been caring for him round the clock and giving him the best chance at a new life.

Here is what the foster family says about him:

Tobias is a 5-year-old neutered mixed-breed who’s up-to-date on all his vaccines. This big boy is housebroken, kennel-trained, and loves to find the coziest spot for a nap—whether it’s a dog bed, fluffy blankets, the couch, or a bed. He’s a people pleaser and loyal companion, often acting as a shadow, always wanting to be near his humans. Tobias adores head and b***y scratches, with the latter making him dance with joy! He thrives on affection and loves cuddling with adults or kids alike.

Tobias’s foster family includes school-age kids, an infant, and two other dogs. He’s dog-friendly with other friendly pups, but he’s not recommended for homes with cats.

Tobias came to Paws Humane severely malnourished, with his body unable to produce insulin to regulate his blood sugar, preventing him from gaining much-needed weight. To stay healthy, Tobias requires a special diet and daily insulin injections. Fortunately, he’s a laid-back boy who doesn’t mind the injections and loves the praise and affection that follows. Due to his blood glucose-related issues, Tobias has experienced some vision loss, but that doesn’t stop him from enjoying playtime.

When it’s time to play, Tobias loves a good game of tug-of-war, playing with a stuffed toy, or frolicking outdoors. But what he really loves is water! Whether it’s splashing in a kiddie pool or chasing a hose, water play is his favorite.

Tobias has also gone camping with his foster family in a travel trailer and has proven to be an excellent travel companion. He loves adventure and rides well in the car.

Despite his size, Tobias is a gentle giant with a huge heart, always ready to share his love and companionship.

If you are interested in making this handsome fella a part of your family, please fill out an application online so we can schedule a meet and greet!

Tailypo is an adorable pup who is currently in foster care with an amazing family, but he is looking for a permanent place to call home! Here is what the foster has to say about him:

"If you love a Ginger, (who doesn’t?) then you’ll love this little red-haired, green-eyed fella! Tailypo is bright, affectionate, and fun-loving. He loves people and he LOVES playing with other dogs. Tailypo enjoys nylabones, water buffalo horns, peanut butter-stuffed anything, and playing in the baby pool. Tailypo is neat and tidy. He’s crate-trained and has never soiled his crate. He's enthusiastic about walks and will respond well to leash training. Tailypo enjoys listening to music in the car. He has normal puppy energy, but will also cuddle and chill out with the family. He’s been introduced to horses, cats, and goats and was very well-behaved."

If you are interested in adopting Tailypo, please put in an application and we will schedule a meet and greet!

"She is so happy and loves playing with our big dog George outside. She thinks my son hung the moon, but loves bo**ie scratches from everyone and cuddles from mommy on the couch. Thank you. I know how a lot of people were interested in her, and I know we could have adopted another dog, but Reba just fits. Already won over the family and dog and one cat." - Melody
