My story

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

Frank has quietly captured all of our hearts. This 3-year-old Treeing Coonhound has soulful eyes and a gentle spirit, and he’s ready for a brighter chapter ahead.

He can be a little timid and unsure when first meeting new people or experiencing new things, but with kindness, patience, and reassurance, Frank is already beginning to show his sweet, affectionate side. For the right adopter, earning his trust will be incredibly rewarding.

When Frank arrived, he was underweight and is now enjoying two to three meals a day of puppy food to help him regain strength. He’s already looking and feeling so much better, and it’s been wonderful to see his confidence grow along with his health.

You may notice Frank has cherry eye. UPAWS has a veterinary appointment scheduled next week to have his eye checked, and we will make sure his eye is taken care of if treatment is recommended.

True to his hound roots, Frank enjoys sniffing, exploring, and taking in the world at his own pace. He would do best in a calm, patient home with someone who understands that the best bonds are built slowly — and last a lifetime.

Frank is ready for a loving home where he can continue to heal, gain confidence, and be cherished for the gentle, loyal companion he is.

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.
