Story
All Milo wants is a ball to chase, a family to adore, and a place to finally call home. This is Milo, a pure bread Border Collie who is the most loving best friend you’ll ever have. Milo is obsessed with playing ball and he always has a toy to bring you! Before coming into our care, Milo was treated poorly and then abandoned, so loud noises can startle and make him anxious. He can get scared if you try to physically move him, however this is often not an issue because he is an amazing listener! He knows all the commands except shake, he is very protective of his paws. He loves scratches anywhere else, especially his nose! You haven’t lived until you’ve been the cause of his dopey, tongue-out nose scrunch. Milo’s dream family is a single-dog household, but can be introduced to smaller dogs and puppies in a neutral space—anything goes if a ball is involved! Milo is in need of immediate rehoming, I simply am not able to give him the life he deserves. Milo can’t wait to hear from you!

Meet Bandit: Your Future Adventure Buddy & Professional Lap Dog Don’t let the name fool you—the only thing Bandit wants to steal is your heart! At 2 years old, this stunning Border Collie mix is the perfect blend of athletic weekend warrior and Olympic-level cuddler. The Ultimate Outdoor Partner Looking for a co-pilot for your next road trip? Bandit is incredible on long car rides and behaves like a perfect gentleman on leash. He is ready to conquer walks, hikes, and camping trips by your side. He absolutely loves playing at the lake, and while he hasn’t quite mastered riding a paddleboard yet, he is eager to keep trying! Off-Duty Lap Dog Once the outdoor adventures are done, Bandit genuinely believes he is a 10-pound lap dog and wants nothing more than to curl up right on top of you for movie night. Because he loves his comfort, he must have indoor sleeping quarters with his humans. Pack Life: Bandit absolutely loves his foster dog friends and thrives in the company of other pups. A Helping Hand: He struggles with some separation anxiety when left alone, so he would do best with someone who works from home, has a flexible schedule, or has a confident dog friend to keep him company. Bandit is ready to fill your days with outdoor fun and your nights with loyal affection. Could you be his perfect match? Bandit has been neutered, is current on vaccines, has tested negative for heartworm and is microchipped. If you are interested in adopting Bandit, please complete an adoption application on our website (UAAF.org/adopt). For more information, call/text Jessa at 385-522-3159 or email jessa.hurty@gmail.com

Story
We rescued squid from a shelter here in slc. He was abandoned out in a canyon before the shelter. He is the sweetest dog I have ever met. He loves to cuddle in bed and is always down for a lazy day but he does love exploring. Squid has been my adventure buddy for the past 6 months. He has summited mountains, forded rivers and he is great on bike rides. He even knows his left and right! Squid is around 3 and a half but I get asked all the time if he’s a puppy. He’s a bit of a weirdo, he’s not super interested in typical dog things like fetch or chew toys but he loves to explore and run around. His one flaw is his separation anxiety. While he has shown some improvement, he is quite the escape artist when it comes to crates and doesn’t do great after a couple hours of being alone. We’ve been working on this by locking him in the room and rewarding him with a treat after 5, 10, 30 mins once he settles. We are looking for someone who can give him the patience and attention he deserves.
