Double the love and double the opportunity! 🐾

Thanks to the incredible generosity of an anonymous donor, the adoption fees for Denaka and Oreo have been fully sponsored!

Denaka is a beautiful 5-year-old Golden Retriever seeking an experienced, understanding adopter and a home where she can be the only pet. Our team will openly discuss her behavioral needs with interested adopters to help ensure the right match.

Oreo is a playful, affectionate one-year-old Flat-Coated Retriever mix who loves people, outdoor adventures and a good game of ball! He needs an active adopter committed to continued training and daily exercise. Oreo would prefer to be the only dog but can live with cats.

All regular adoption requirements and matching procedures still apply. To learn more about Denaka and Oreo, please email [email protected]. And complete an application at https://daws.org/daws-online-adoption-application/ or visit DAWS daily from 10 AM to 4 PM.

We are so grateful to this compassionate donor for helping two deserving dogs take their next steps toward loving homes! 💛
