The Famous Five
October 28, 2024
We are highlighting five long-term doggy residents who are still waiting to be adopted.
The Famous Five are in the best of care at GAWS, getting daily walks, food & water and any medical care required but they are well and truly ready for a home to call their own.
Collectively, The Famous Five have been in GAWS' care for more than 1100 days.
We are thrilled to announce that The Famous Five - who are full of life and love - are half-price in adoption fees. We want to see these dogs go to great homes, so we’re offering half-price adoption fees to the right adopters.
For those who are following our weekly adoption updates, we’re guessing your heart breaks when you don’t see one of these names pop up.. Let’s get The Famous Five home!
