To celebrate Opposite Day, we thought we'd show your our two favorite sisters, Lupine and Clover, who have been with us since August 2024! 🥳

Lupine is an extrovert who likes to test your cooking, interrupt your computer work, clean up your crumbs, and greet everything with curiosity.
Clover is an introvert who loves her sister... and her alone time. She warms up to her people but definitely has a double life we know nothing about :)
Both have been in foster for 3+ months, which means they are confident, socialized and spoiled! Call us to meet them in foster, or hear what she has to say about these two.

Peanut's glow up is in! Just peep her 20 toes.

We paired up with a network partner, Jessica Dowding to spare 2 puppies from euthanasia! The owner didn't know what other resources there were, but word got around and we were able to step in for two pups.
Poppy is around 6 months old, spayed, and as floppy as can be. She has a cute gait like a little foal, and bops around to chase toys or simple tell you how pleased she is with her new life. She is crate-trained, learning fetch, and great with children! She has learned not to jump on people, but can't deny her affection with big butt wiggles. Come play with her, take her for an overnight, or inquire about adoption!

Thank you for believing in our mission and for being the heart of everything we do! As evidenced by this annual report, 2024 was a great success, and we're still making improvements each and every day. We couldn't do it without you

Angel's foster says: Angel "enjoys looking out the window for a short while each day - I put aluminum foil on the sills and she doesn’t mess with the blinds... She’s crazy for Greenies Smart Bites chicken flavor, so those are her training treats; although I got some freeze-dried chicken to try also. She may have been trained in the past; she has a nice balance of self-assuredness and desire to learn. She comes and gets me if I’m too long in a different room, but is not a lap cat and does like her alone time also.."
While she's happy in foster, she is still seeking her forever home. Call us for more info!

Did you know most orange cats are male? Or that most cats have 18 toes? Well, Peanut likes to buck tradition. She's a female orange tabby, AND she has extra toes.

She will be available for adoption once she fixes her face 🤣 - she's still a little scared, so give her a day or two to find her inner smile :)

Big shoutout to our foster Lauren Nickell for making this intake possible! Without her, we would've had to say no because we're out of kennel room.

Bear is a female, 2 month old Brittany spaniel/poodle/german shepherd mix who was fortunate to spend only ONE night at the shelter before going home with a foster mom and dog sister. You can already see how enthused and grateful she is!

She will be vaccinated before her adoption, and we will provide a spay voucher if she gets scooped up before her surgery :)

Ummm, have you seen our newest cutie pie resident?
Dottie is a 6 month old mini Australian shepherd/Texas heeler mix. She is gonna make a great playmate, farmhand, or snuggle buddy. She needs a few days to decompress and get UPD on vaccines, and then we will welcome serious visitors. Give us a ring if you want to foster or adopt!

URGENT: Best Friends Animal Society, the Humane Society of Utah and local Los Angeles shelters need help transporting dogs/cats out of the wildfire danger area. We are over-capacity with dogs (and still have pending intakes) but are hoping to accept some cats.

Please consider supporting California and their animals as they scramble to evacuate and take care of previous lives! You can make a donation, foster an animal short-term, or simply spread the word!

This is a time to come together and we can use all the help we can get.

Your gift brings emergency assistance to animals impacted by the wildfires in Los Angeles. Donations to this fund are used exclusively to support lifesaving work in the Los Angeles area.

UPDATE: pending adoption!

Remember Waldo? If you've ever visited our shelter, you probably spotted him in the window. He's been at CCAW since 2022 🥲.

Well, he spent the holidays 🎄 with a local family who is obsessed with him 🥰. He does well with their young children and even snuggles one of their dogs! They can't keep him, but their hard work could be your reward. These are experiences we can't provide for our animals at the facility, so fosters provide a unique, enriching opportunity for our dogs and cats.

Waldo is happy and we are celebrating 🥳 each night he gets to spend in a home until he lands with his forever family. Let us know if that's you!

Much thanks to his family for their loving care for our longest resident 🌈 Sign up to foster today!

We don't usually accept feral adult cats, but they do make quite the story. Take Otis for example...

Otis came to us from Teasdale spittin' mad and ready to swat or bat anyone who came within feet of him. Feral adult cats are especially difficult for shelters because of the extreme stress the animal is under, how much more difficult it is to make sure they're clean and fed, the potential for staff injury, and the amount of resources it takes to do otherwise simple tasks in a safe manner.

Lucky for us, we had a secret weapon... Char!! Otis' fear was no match for Char's persistence, patience, and love. Where we once couldn't change his box without a brawl, he is now a lap cat! Need proof? A picture says a thousand words.

Come visit Otis in the lobby to see his progress in person. He has his very own condo in the lobby where he can see people come and go, expanding on his progress.

We couldn't do what we do without amazing staff

This dog is reported missing from its family in Loa! Please let us know if you've spotted him.

If you're ready for some spice, Pepper is the gal for you. She is a fun, social, husky/lab/hound mix around 6 months old. She is spayed, vaccinated and would really benefit from a foster home, even just for ONE NIGHT 🥰!

You say the world, and we'll loan you a crate, food, toys, and anything else you might need to get her adventurous paws out exploring the desert! Give us a ring at (435) 491-9003 to come meet her, or drop by to try a walk or field trip any day of the week.
