My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Dumpling — a fluffy snow-angel with a heart as big as the outdoors she loves!

This beautiful female Great Pyrenees arrived at UPAWS as a lost orphan, unsure of her place in the world. But oh, has she captured ours. Every staff member, every volunteer, every dog-walker… they all fall head over heels for her. Dumpling is one of those gentle souls who just radiates sweetness. She truly is a very good girl.

Dumpling is happiest when she’s on an outdoor adventure — especially if there’s snow involved. Watching her romp, explore, and do her joyful little prances across the white fluff is pure magic. If you’re a family who loves winter walks, cozy evenings, and a loyal companion by your side, she just might be your perfect match.

As a Great Pyrenees, Dumpling will likely:

Be a calm, loyal, deeply devoted companion
Have an independent streak (that Pyrenees confidence!)
Enjoy space, outdoor time, and a peaceful home life
Be polite but selective with strangers — she bonds strongly to her people

Dumpling appears OK with other dogs and could do well in a home with respectful kids who understand gentle boundaries.

If you’d like to meet her, please bring your entire household — humans and dogs — for a meet-and-greet and fill out an Adoption Interest Form.

Dumpling is ready to find her forever family… the one who will love her as much as she already loves everyone here.

More about this shelter

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.
