Little Dogs -- Big Love

It's said that big things come in small packages, and that's definitely true when it comes to dogs!

We have a special promotion this month featuring some very special, very teeny pups.  Come meet them every Saturday in October from 11 am to 3 pm at the CWAC facility (40 N. 800 W., Salt Lake City) and fall in love with your new best friend. 

All new adoptees with go home with a special welcome home package to help ease the transition into their new family life.  

Here's a look at just a handful of the dogs up for adoption:

Help Us Help Them

Canines with a Cause is expanding, and with more dogs in the kennels, we are in need of more warm beds -- especially with winter quickly approaching. 

Every dog deserves a comfortable place to curl up and dream about their new forever family, and now you can help us supply them.  Simply click the link below to donate a bed, and Kuranda will send it straight to the facility. 

Please help us make their time with us a little more pleasant. 

Congratulations Canella!

Canella was with us yesterday at the Hogle Zoo adoption event and was snatched up within an hour!  She was our first CWAC pup to be adopted yesterday; Rocky followed soon after.  Canella's new family was very excited to find her and she's now sleeping comfortably in their son's bunk beds.  Congratulations, Canella!  We'll miss seeing your beautiful face, but are so happy for you and your new people!

This Week's Featured Adoptable -- Rocky

Rocky has had a terrifying and tragic start, but has found new life since becoming a part of the CWAC family.

Rocky and two of his canine siblings were taken by animal control officers in California after they were found by police officers at the scene of a horrific crime.  According to police reports, his owner, in a drug-induced rage, tortured and beat his wife and three children with a monkey wrench, killing his 16-year-old son.

Rocky was inside the home with two other pit mixes, Harley and Bonnie.  It was obvious to workers at the San Bernardino shelter that the dogs had also been subjected to some abuse because of scars found on their bodies.  Harley, a puppy, was soon adopted, but Bonnie and Rocky needed more time to heal.  After spending months at a veterinary clinic, Rocky was released and found his way on a transport to Salt Lake City.

Rocky is such a happy, playful boy it's hard to imagine the things he must have seen inside that home.  He has shown us how resilient dogs really are when they are properly cared for and loved.

Rocky may be full-grown, but he's still very much a pup by personality.  He loves to chase, and pounce on tennis balls and is one of the most playful dogs we've ever had at CWAC.  He's gentle and kind with small children, but hasn't been fully tested around cats.  He does have some basic manners, but needs a little more direction when it comes to walking politely on a leash.

Do you have room in your family to help Rocky finish healing?  If you'd like to meet him, contact Cathy at credking@gmail.com or 801-359-5595 for more information.
