Baxter
Baxter is a 5-year-old male domestic shorthair tabby mix. He came from a hoarding situation and has been at PAWS since February.

Audrey
Audrey is an approximately 8-year-old orange-and-white female domestic shorthair. She came from a shelter up north and has been at PAWS since April.

Audrey is very sweet and loves to receive attention and be loved. Please come in to meet her soon!

Because Animals Matter offers fully vaccinated, spayed or neutered, and microchipped animals for adoption through a network of foster homes and a transition facility. Please contact Because Animals Matter at (435) 773-5209 or visit becauseanimalsmatter.com for more information, to volunteer, or to become a foster.
Abby
Abby is a sweet Lab/shepherd mix. She is approximately 2 years old. She is loving but timid and will require a patient owner as she is afraid of sudden movements. She wants nothing more that to be your companion for walks, car rides, and hiking. However, she will run, and her owner will need to work on building her confidence. She has not been child tested, but she is quite interested in watching the kids out the window and Because Animals Matter believes she would be fine with children, especially for older children as she may knock over smaller children with her zest for life. Abby is spayed, current on her vaccinations, and microchipped.
Kachina
Kachina is a terrier/great Pyrenees mix who was abandoned in the desert with her four puppies. She was a great momma, but now her pups are all adopted, and she is looking forward to a home of her own. She is very loving and sweet, approximately 2 years old, smart, very obedient, and knows basic commands. She is good with children of all ages, house trained, and playful. She is picky with dog friends and would have to be introduced carefully to any new dog friend before placement. She loves her dog bed and would be well behaved in a household. Although she is crate trained, she prefers to be a member of the family and wants to be as close to her humans as possible. And, like many other breeds, she has a cute little black tongue and belly. Kachina will reward you with love and cuteness and cuddles. Letting you rub her belly is just one of the nice things she’ll do for you. She walks well on a leash, too.

Red
Red is one happy dog. He smiles. Red is approximately 4 years old and has spent most of his time in the yard. Red is on a diet and is doing well with his food and green beans. He is overweight and will benefit from a change in his diet and a regular exercise routine. He loves to play with toys and can’t make up his mind which one is his favorite. Red knows “sit” and “shake.” What a wonderful opportunity you can have with Red for a diet and exercise training partner. It’s a win-win, you both get in shape.
Honey Bear
Honey Bear came to shelter with two other cats when their owner passed away. She is a flame-point Siamese and approximately 8 years old. She is very friendly and a calm little cat.
