This pretty girl is Cora, our Dog of the Month for May! If you adopt Cora this month, her adoption fee will be 25 % reduced! . She is 1 1/2 years old and weighs 28 lbs. We are not sure of her breed mix. Maybe a little terrier or beagle in her? Mini-shepherd? Cora is a little shy at first but also very sweet. She likes attention and is affectionate. She likes to explore so a fenced-in yard would be a plus, or a family that likes to go on lots of walks and outdoor adventures. Cora is fine with other dogs once she gets to know them. We think she might be happiest as the only dog in the home. She mostly likes people!! She is going to make someone a wonderful companion.

Say hello to Merlin, our Cat of the Month for May! If you adopt Merlin this month, his adoption fee will be 25 % reduced! He is a gorgeous 3-year-old male black/grey/white Maine Coon mix. He was surrendered to us due to him not getting along with the other cats in the household. He doesn't get along very well with other cats, but he does tolerate calm dogs that don't chase him. He's said to be very shy with strangers and children, likes to be independent and may favor one family member as his person. He is now adjusting being here with us, he will hiss and shy away at first but will accept head pets and close his eyes almost immediately afterward. He has beautiful eyes and the softest fur! He also has a heart murmur that does not require further diagnostics unless clinical signs are noted. This sweet boy needs a patient adopter that will give him the time that he needs to adjust and become part of a loving family. Merlin comes neutered, microchipped, and with all of his vaccines.

Male

American Shorthair
You’re not seeing double - we have twin black kittens available for adoption! ? They’re around 7 months old and have been consistently together since the beginning. Their brotherly bond is clear and they look out for one another. They beat the odds by getting rescued by a Good Samaritan who had seen kittens at a Naval base. It turns out they had been part of a feral black cat colony there. They were a little nervous to be around people at first, but have made some incredible progress. ??Tripod was born with 3 legs and a nub. His strides have been among the best the foster has ever seen. It’s amazing watching him move and propel himself forward. He never lets his disability get in the way and lives as if he doesn’t even have one. He’ll dive for toys and treats without fear. He loves to lay out and stretch, making adorable noises as he does this. He enjoys being loved on, ear & head scratches, back pets and even an occasional belly rub. He’s highly food motivated and the moment the food is put down, he quickly inhales it. He has so much personality and would love to make you his new best friend (especially if you have treats). ??Admiral was a bit more shy when he first started being fostered. He comes out of his shell a little more every day though. His fur is incredibly soft. He likes wet food, but also doesn’t mind sharing his helping with his brother. He loves dry food, cat beds and his mini cave (which is being included with him.) He makes his own cute noises, which are completely different than his brother. They LOVE to play with one another and it’s pretty entertaining to watch. He never gets overly rough with Tripod though. He watches out for him. We would love to see these brothers go to a furever home together. Their bond has been really sweet to see. An ideal home for them would be a peaceful place with adults who could devote time and love as they continue to come out of their shells, slowly but surely. Older kids are okay too. They are good with other cats, as well as dogs. These two have so much love to give and a lifetime of smiles to bestow on you. They are very special! Tripod & Admiral come vaccinated, microchipped, and are neutered. If you're interested in meeting these handsome boys, please complete our online adoption application at https://daws.org/daws-forms.

Meet Liberty! She is a beautiful 2 year old female Tabby. She is shy and is still not quite comfortable with human contact but will take treats from your hand. She tolerates other cats but seems to want to be on her own. Liberty was previously adopted with Cayenne, but unfortunately their owner could no longer care for them due to relocation. She would need a patient, understanging and loving adopter who would give her the time she needs to adjust in a forever home and never have to worry about being on the streets again. Liberty comes spayed, microchipped, and with all of her vaccines. If you're interested in meeting this beauty, please complete our online adoption application.

This stunning boy is Cayenne! He is a 1 year old male black DSH and he was part of the Spice Kitten litter. Cayenne was previously adopted with Liberty, but unfortunately their owner could no longer care for them due to relocation. He is currently in a foster home and here is an update from is foster mom: Being adopted previously and having him in my home, he's made such good progress since being at the shelter. He enjoys the company of my cats and would be great in a home with other cats. I think it would be best that he go to a home where they have other cats since he enjoys playing and seeing other cats helps him come out of his shell. He loves to play with toys and watching birds through the window. Once he was in my home, he needed a few weeks to adjust (first in a crate then a spare room) before he allowed full body pets and has full run of the house now. He loves food and treats. He'll need a patient adopter and would probably be okay with older teenagers. He's a very good boy who deserves a new home! If you can give this sweet boy the loving, forever home that he always deserved, please apply below! Cayenne comes neutered, microchipped, and with all of his vaccines.

Fudge would make a great hiking or jogging buddy! He does need a cat-free home. If you would like to meet/adopt Fudge, please complete our online application.

These beautiful girls are Mom Coco and Portabella! They both came to us as strays with their kittens. They were wonderful Momma's to their babies that have all been adopted, and now it is their turn to find a forever home! They are both shy as they are getting used to their new surroundings, but they are slowly adjusting to like human contact. If you approach them slowly, Mom Coco enjoys cheek rubs and pets and has a heartwarming purr :) Portabella is a little more hesitant, but if you talk to her softly, she does enjoy pets with a scratcher or wand toy. Then you can even slowly use your hand. They have become bonded after meeting at the shelter, so we would like them to go to a forever home together. They would do best in a quiet home with a patient family who will give them the time they need to adjust and blossom into the sweethearts we know they are! They would love to be a part of a loving family :) Mom Coco and Portabella come spayed, microchipped, and with all of their vaccines.

Meet Dewey, a playful, sensitive, two-year-old hound/boxer mix. He weighs 57 lbs. Dewey loves outdoor adventures and would prefer a home with an active owner. Dewey needs an experienced owner -- ideally, someone who loves hounds. He is friendly but reserved, he tends to bond slowly with new people. Since coming to DAWS, his self-confidence has greatly improved, he has made many friends and has learned several basic commands. We think Dewey would be fine in a home with older teens. He likes other dogs, and his best match would be a calm, middle-aged dog, preferably female. He does need a cat-free home. This is a new year and Dewey is hoping someone is ready to welcome him and give him the love he so deserves. If you would like to meet Dewey, please complete our online application.

This adorable guy is Deuce, a 2-year-old beagle who comes from a harsh background. He needs a very special home with lots of love, patience and knowledge. Deuce bonds through play and patience, likes long hikes in the woods and is scared of cars on the street (it's getting better though). He likes social gatherings and similar places to explore. He rides well in the car, is crate trained and has no resource guarding. Deuce loves to train and please his owner and is tremendously smart. He knows sit, down, stay and come. Deuce gets defensive when people are looking to correct him for "bad behaviors." Even a stern no with a pointed finger will make him defensive. In this case, it most likely stems from abuse. He will need someone who is willing to come to the shelter for multiple visits of bonding time and outings. He needs a house with a fenced-in yard, someone who enjoys hikes and understands dog body language and positive reinforcement. We will train you in Deuce. Deuce is loved by many and is a brave soul with an amazing work ethic. If you think you are the best match for him, please reach out to dogs@daws.org.

This pretty girl is Mocha. She is 2-years-old and weighs just 40 lbs. She is what is called a "pocket pit" due to her small size for a pitbull/mixed breed. Mocha is in a foster home, not at our shelter. Mocha is fully housetrained and crate trained. She walks nicely on a leash and knows some basic commands like sit and stay. Her foster says " Mocha is a sweet and happy-go-lucky girl who loves to walk and snuggle. She is always up for an adventure, as well as lying on the couch watching TV. Mocha loves food and squeaky toys, but she has no resource guarding and happily shares her toys and food with her people." Mocha seems to like male dogs more than females, but is fine meeting all dogs while out on walks or at the park. She does need a cat-free home. We think Mocha would be fine in a home with kids 10 and up. Mocha’s adoption fee is discounted for veterans that are members of the organization Pets for Patriots. The discounted fee for her is $100.

Meet Lilly, an adorable 31 lb 3-year-old beagle mix in need of a committed adopter willing to come to DAWS several times to get to know her before she goes home. Lilly is often reactive to new people and animals and will bark on first meeting. When meeting Lilly, it is best to be quiet and just walk with her. Eventually she will get curious and sniff you. She does well on hikes and loves toys. She will entertain herself with her toys. She has no signs of resource guarding. She likes to play in the yard with other dogs and we think she would do well as a second dog with a nice, confident dog. Lilly is very smart and in tune with her person. We think she could be a terrific student at agility training. Lilly needs an experienced dog owner who will give consistency to her routine so she can enjoy home life. We recommend an adult-only home for Lilly and no apartment/condo living. If you are willing to get to know this girl who is so deserving of a second chance in life, please email dogs@daws.org to discuss further. Some dogs need a little more work to settle into their forever home and Lilly is one of those dogs. She will be a great companion to someone willing to put the time in to win her heart.

German Shepherd Dog
Zorro needs a HERO! Zorro is our longest resident at DAWS and has been in the shelter for over two years. During that time, this 70 lb. four-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.
