Critter Details

Meet Heinz – A Distinguished Gentleman With a Heart of Gold Heinz is a 12-year-old, 52-pound American Bulldog/Boxer mix with a stunning brindle coat, a gentle spirit, and the sweetest old-soul eyes. This handsome senior found himself without a home through no fault of his own, and we are incredibly grateful he’s now part of the CAWS family, where he’s receiving the love and care he has always deserved.Heinz may be a bit underweight, but he’s slowly and steadily filling out with proper nutrition and TLC. He also has some age-related arthritis, which is kept comfortably managed with daily medication.This lovely gentleman is fully house-trained and crate-trained, though he rarely needs the crate—his foster family works from home and he is a calm, respectful companion around the house. Ideally, Heinz would love a retirement home with a fully fenced yard and someone who is home often—retired adopters or work-from-home families would be a dream fit for him.With proper introductions, Heinz gets along wonderfully with other dogs and enjoys their company. More than anything, he adores being close to his people—lounging on the couch, napping nearby, or snuggling in bed if you’ll let him. And yes, he’s an excellent passenger in the car!Heinz is safe and loved now, but he’s still waiting for the family who will make his golden years truly shine. This magnificent, gentle soul has so much love left to give. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion to cherish and spoil, Heinz just may be your perfect match.Reach out to schedule a meet and greet—Heinz can’t wait to rest his head in a forever home of his very own.
