This pretty girl is Mocha. She is a one-year-old "pocket pit" (small pitbull mix), weighing just 35 lbs. Mocha was overwhelmed at the shelter so we moved her to a foster home so she could relax. Her foster says she is very sweet and affectionate. She is fully housebroken and fine to be in a crate when left alone. We recommend an adult-only home with no other pets for Mocha. She loves to be with her people so someone who is not gone long hours would be best. She has a medium level of energy. She has the most soulful eyes and will make someone a wonderful companion. If you would like to meet Mocha, email dogs@daws.org to arrange. Mocha is our DOG OF THE MONTH for February! Her adoption fee is 25% reduced this month.

Sweet Pea is ready to find her forever home! She is a 10-month-old lab mix and is about done growing at her current weight of 45 lbs. In December, she was diagnosed with Masticatory Muscle Myositis. She is being treated with medication and doing well. She will continue to be cared for under our Angel Pet program even after adoption until the issue has fully resolved. Sweet Pea loves to be outside, walks nicely on a leash, rides great in the car and absolutely loves going in the water! Any puddle, lake or stream will do! She has some food guarding issues so she needs an adult-only home with an experienced adopter. She likes other dogs and might be fine in a home with another dog if they can be separated at mealtimes and sharing of toys is managed while she settles into her new home. Sweet Pea is spayed, micro-chipped and up to date on vaccines. Her adoption fee is $350. If you would like to be Sweet Pea's new BFF, please email dogs@daws.org to arrange a meeting.

Meet Lilly, an adorable 22 lb 2-year-old whippet 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 and no cats. 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.

Camille is STILL waiting for her new family to find her. She has been in a wonderful foster home since spring and has made huge gains. After tragically losing her owner while she was away on vacation, her whole world got turned upside down. She will require an adopter who is willing to continue to nurture her gentle demeanor and trust in people. This two-year-old, 55 lb. lab mix is as sweet as can be. Camille loves to cuddle, play, go for walks, and give kisses. She can’t wait to show you all the commands and training tricks she knows - she's a smart cookie! She is even house and leash trained - she's a great pup and just needs someone to give her a chance! Camille would do best with an experienced, adult only family as the only dog and no cats. Apartments are not recommended and a calm home would be best.

Bella is our DOG OF THE MONTH for December! This adorable feist/terrier mix is three-years-old and weighs just 30 pounds. She is one of our longest residents here at DAWS. As pet of the month, Bella’s adoption fee will be reduced 25%. She is a playful and affectionate little girl who loves to play, zoomie around the yard, and show off her many tricks and commands that she knows. Bella will thrive in a quiet, adult-only home with patient adopters. She likes other dogs but is not a fan of cats. If interested, please email an application to dogs@daws.org. You can see Bella in action by visiting https://youtu.be/xqtcUiDDx60. Here’s what a volunteer has to say about Bella: “This sweetheart keeps getting overlooked because it takes her a while to warm up to strangers. Most adopters want a 'ready-to-go dog' who will fit into their busy lives without much effort. Bella is truly an amazing dog, who once she trusts someone, will be a forever BF. She is housetrained and has done great while visiting in my home. She doesn't get into things that are not hers, and is as happy sleeping on the couch, or in the bed with me. The love this dog has to give is well worth the time it takes to earn her trust.”

German Shepherd Dog
Zorro is looking for his person and being one of the longest residents at the shelter, he can't wait to find his furever home! He is a 70 lb., four-year-old shepherd mix - we actually had him DNA tested and his results were quite interesting! Surprisingly, Zorro is 25% German Shepherd, 25% Catahoula Leopard, 25% American Staffordshire Terrier, 12.5% Boxer and 12.5% other. What a combo! This handsome boy enjoys being active, spending time outside hiking or playing, and going on adventures. He loves to run around the yard but also enjoys cuddling on the couch. He already knows basic commands and is very smart! He takes treats gently and would be a highly motivated student for more training. Zorro will require an experienced adult-only home as an only pet. Adopters that will provide further enrichment, training, and exercise are a must. If you can open your heart and give this special dog the family he deserves, please email dogs@daws.org to set up an appointment to meet him.
