They're herrreee!!

HUGE thank you to Cecily Hallman of Be Wise Art for donating her time to snap a few photos of these guys! The girls worked it, and the boys just goofed off. all photos copyright of BeWiseArt. 

Fi was a total HAM for the camera!

Bella worked that camera like no other!

 Smiling girl, cheesing it up in hopes of finding her forever home!

 Oliver may not win any beauty contests but give this little guy a chance and he'll wiggle his way into your heart! He got a new haircut the day after his photo shoot. We'll be sure to get those photos up!

 Wally was a little camera shy but Cecily was able to catch a few of Wally's infamous smiles! Tyra Banks would be proud that he smiles with his eyes too. 

 Wally just wanted to be held. 

Teaser!

Here is a "teaser" photo from the little photo shoot Fiona, Bella, Wally and Oliver had. The girls were totally working the camera while the boys were... well, the boys were boys! Keep checking back for more photos! (Don't worry, we'll also make sure to post to the websites!)

ALSO!!

Oliver is in DESPERATE need of a donated/discounted groom. He is a diamond in the rough right now. Poor guy has really matted ears. Please talk to your groomer or groomer friends to see if they'd be willing to donate their time to make Oli picture perfect!
Not only for Oliver but we would love a go-to groomer because with the long haired dogs, usually they need a good groom before meeting their forever families! 

upcoming things with CWAC

• Tomorrow (3/27) we will be having a guest photographer, Cecily Hallman with Be Wise Art coming to photograph our adoptable dogs.
• We are really trying to rally the foster troops. Come the end of this  month we will be relying solely on our fosters for us to pull animals. We will not be renewing our lease with the current facility and keeping dogs in kennels goes against what we want for our animals. Please see our website for FAQ on fostering. Keep your eye on the blog as well for tips on working with your foster.
• With us losing our current facility we need all eyes on the look-out for a new home for us. What we're ideally looking for is somewhere that has an apartment or living quarters for a caretaker. Maybe a barn or outbuilding that we can make into a training room and build off kennels. 
• By the end of the week we will have at least one post from our trainers Astrid Smith with A Dogs Journey or Shaun Woodard with Not For Dogs Only.
• Last but not least LIKE US ON FACEBOOK!! we always tons going on on good 'ol Facebook!

Canines With a Cause's WISHLIST!!

If you are able to help with any of these supplies please get in touch with us at canineswithacause@gmail.com. We also accept cash donations that would go towards vaccinations and neuter or spay of new dogs. Every time we take in a shelter dog it costs us approximately $75 per dog to get them ready for their new home. We are also going to start the option of "sponsoring"a dog. You make donations to go towards a certain dog; say Fiona, who needs chicken, corn, wheat and soy free dog food and treats. 

She Deserves It. Will You Help?

Help Us Pay for Angel's Surgery

Please help our sweet Angel.  She’s had it rough, but she’s not letting it get her down.  Angel was rescued from the streets of Ventura, California.  While living the life of a stray, Angel was hit by a car.  Her rescuers took her to the vet, but the prognosis wasn’t good: a crushed pelvis that that had already begun to heal and two broken femurs.  With funding low, and facing the prospect of having to re-break Angel’s bones to reconstruct them, the shelter was unable to do much for her.  That’s when she found her way to CWAC.  

Angel’s healing has been remarkable, and she can still get around like a pup, despite losing the use of her right hind leg.  She’s strong and determined, but still in a lot of pain.  Angel has seen some of the best orthopedic veterinarians in Utah, and the good news is, despite the improper healing of her left hip joint and leg and the bone atrophy in her right, it’s not too late to help her.  Angel will need to undergo a tricky surgery to restore use to her right leg.  She will have to have a special steel plate installed, as well as a bone graft to help regenerate growth.  The doctors have told us that the surgery will allow her to bear weight on her right leg again and vastly improve her quality of life.  

Angel is also looking for a loving, gentle foster home to await surgery and to help her heal for her forever home afterwards.  Since she is in so much pain, she would prefer a home without other dogs or children, where life moves at a slower pace and where she can relax.

We need $3000 to get Angel the surgery she needs, and so desperately deserves.  Please consider donating anything you can.
