My story

Meet Ouiser 10 years old • 12.5 lbs • Chinese Crested / Yorkie mix If you’re a Steel Magnolias fan, you already know: the original Ouiser was tough, hilarious, and full of heart—and this little lady lives up to the name.Ouiser is a 10-year-old, blind beauty with big energy in a tiny package. She may be vision-impaired, but she doesn’t miss a beat when it comes to people. She loves humans instantly and will happily trot right over for affection or a snack. She's affectionate, enjoying gentle pets, cozy snuggles, and your calm company on her terms.Like her namesake, Ouiser has opinions and isn't shy about expressing them. She doesn’t like to be surprised—especially by grabby hands or other animals—and will let you know if her personal space is invaded. She’d thrive as the one and only pet in a quiet, adults-only home where her boundaries are respected and her personality is celebrated.She enjoys lounging on the couch (keep an eye on her so she doesn’t roll off!), short walks, and soft toys. Her snuggles are sweet, her little snorts are hilarious, and her loyalty is unmatched once she feels safe.&#226&#156&#168 Ouiser’s ideal home:Adults only (no kids, please)No other pets, or ones that will give her total spaceCalm environment—she’s not into dramaSomeone who understands that tiny dogs can have big feelings and deserve respect and structureGrooming is simple: she’ll need regular haircuts and sun protection to keep her skin safe and healthy. Her energy level is low, making her a perfect companion for someone looking for a chill, loving sidekick with just the right amount of sass.So if you’ve ever said, “I'm not crazy, I've just been in a very bad mood for 40 years,” and meant it — you might just be her people.---Adoption Info:Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-serve basis. We strive to find the perfect home for each animal. Applications may take up to 48 hours to process. All CAWS animals are fixed, microchipped, and vaccinated. Ouiser’s adoption fee is $100.
