We are considering rehoming our dog as we cannot give him the time, exercise, and training he deserves with our current work, travel, and extracurricular schedules.
Charley is a 4 year old, neutered male boxer/husky (we think) mix. Charley follows simple commands and is food motivated in training. He is not currently kennel trained, but probably could be with time and effort. Charley loves his people and has significant anxiety. His heckles (hair on his back) is very prominent and he can appear aggressive to other dogs or people who are not familiar with him, even when he is not actually aggressive. He does get defensive when approached by dogs or people and he is on leash, so Charley ideally needs to live in the country or woods where he can play outside (he does not run away) or with a fenced in yard if in the city. Charley enjoys going on runs and can run for up to 6 miles comfortably. Homes with children under the age of 12 will not be considered. He is great with our child, but gets overly excited when there is commotion and can be overwhelming for little people or people who don't like dogs. His ideal owners would be active people, bonus for people who may work from home or be retired as currently he is living in a work from home situation.
**Charley is NOT at UPAWS** If interested please contact: kara.graci@gmail.com or (906) 360-5774 Interested persons must be able to provide at least 2 references who can speak to pet ownership and training experiences of the prospective owner.

We are a local non-profit organization run and staffed by your neighbors. We make decisions on caring for homeless, unwanted, abandoned and abused domestic animals based on what we believe is best for them. We have no affiliation with any larger group and we receive no funding from any larger group that might influence our decisions or actions.
We advocate only for the animals in our care to help them find their forever home with you.
UPAWS does not receive operating funds from any governmental agency. We rely on donations from our neighbors and friends to make our efforts possible. We save consistently 98% of the animals who come to us – which is an award-winning success story. We want to educate everyone on proper animal care so there soon won’t be the three percent who come to us too sick or wounded to be saved. It’s your support that makes this dream possible.
