Dorff is still waiting on a forever home! 🥹♥️

This goofy boy is 3.5 years old and has been at CAAWS since November 2025 😥 He is so sweet and silly, we can’t understand why he hasn’t found a home yet…

Dorff LOVES toys and loves to play. He is extremely curious and is super affectionate. You will never have a dull day with this cutie!

He has not been cat tested yet. He has a high energy level and may be a little intense for some dogs. He does well at our off-site events around other dogs but will need some work on his manners 😜 He is very trainable and already has “sit” mastered!

Meet Dorff on Saturday at CAAWS from 12-4pm. This handsome guy deserves the best 🥰
