Beagle
This adorable girl is Cheer. She is a 5-year-old beagle and weighs 29 lb. Our trainer says "Cheer is a typical beagle whose favorite pastime is to explore with her nose and try to get into treats. She is very sweet and friendly with people and loves to receive attention but true to her breed, she always has food on her mind. Her ideal home is with someone who will understand that she might try and get into things if left out and that management is key. She is very happy to go on walks and would make a great walking companion. Cheer would do great with children of all ages. When seeing another dog, she tucked her tail and tried to move on as quickly as possible. It might take a bit for her to feel comfortable around a dog and could thrive as an only dog."

Cami is good on a leash and rides great in the car. At night she sleeps in a crate and will sleep through the night. She starts off as timid until she gets used to her surroundings.

German Shepherd Dog
Zorro is our longest resident at DAWS and has been here for four years. During that time, this 70 lb. six-year-old shepherd mix has been working very hard on training and we believe his time has come to find his furever home! Back in 2019, when Zorro first arrived to DAWS after being saved from a high kill shelter in Kentucky, he began developing some behavioral challenges, making it difficult to find him the right home. Through extensive training, Zorro has proved himself to be a pup that can develop solid friendships with humans, and even befriend select dogs. Zorro has been trained using treats and he eagerly sits, lies down and gives a paw on command. He’s done very well with car rides. He has enjoyed many hikes, walks, and play-time with his volunteer team. Time and time again, he has shown what a good boy he is, he just needs to find that special person! With a dog like Zorro, he will need a very specific adopter... Zorro Owner Requirements: • Experienced dog owner • Adult-only home with no kids or future children • Must be the only pet in the home • Has to have an understanding of positive reinforcement training • House with a fenced yard of at least 6 ft. • Willing to slowly introduce Zorro to people close to the family and educate them on Zorro’s do’s & don'ts • Come and meet Zorro multiple times If you think you can be the hero that Zorro needs, please complete our online application. Here is the link to the app: https://daws.org/daws-forms/ Zorro’s adoption fee is discounted for veterans that are members of the organization Pets for Patriots. The discounted fee for him is $100.
