Story
Looking for a devoted sidekick who thinks the best place in the world is right by your side? Meet Puck, an adorable 8-year-old Supermutt mix (mostly Rat Terrier!). At a compact 18 pounds, he’s the ultimate mix of loyal sidekick and curious backyard explorer. Puck is house-trained, dog-door fluent, and crate-comfortable (though he’d prefer to be in the room with you). He'll give you a polite nudge when it's time to go outside! (PS. He LOVES short hikes and yard time.) Since he’s super smart, his new home should have a securely fenced yard and mindful door management to keep him safe. Puck is seeking a calm, low-traffic home where he can be the star of the show. He needs to be the only dog in a home without young children. (He occasionally likes to guard his favorite people and food bowl, so he needs a patient, experienced adopter who understands gentle boundaries.) Puck is neutered, microchipped, heartworm-negative, vaccinated, and has had his routine dental cleaning. He manages a heart murmur like a champ with affordable medication (twice a day), showing no signs of letting it slow down his love for life. If you have a peaceful home and a heart ready for a fiercely loyal best friend, Puck is ready to meet you! If you are interested in adopting Puck, please complete an adoption application on our website (uaaf.org/adopt). For more information, call/text Maryjo at 801-809-0602 or email maryjo@gmail.com

Story
Meet Madonna: The Ultimate Material Girl Strike a pose! Madonna is a 5-year-old Chiweenie who’s ready to express herself and step into the spotlight. This iconic diva is pure entertainment, whether she’s rolling around on the bed like a total Lucky Star or chasing her own feet and tail in a hilarious solo concert. Girls Just Want to Have Fun: Madonna loves hitting the open road! She is obsessed with car rides and will gladly let the wind blow through her hair while living her best life out the window. Calm Fan Club Preferred: She gets along with other dogs as long as they are calm, respectful, and keep the vibe easygoing. However, she prefers a crew with no cats or kids. Even true legends need a great manager! Madonna is working through some resource guarding with toys/treats and barrier anxiety in her crate. She is making amazing progress, but she needs a patient adopter ready to keep that training rhythm going. Time after time, consistency is key! Ready to open your heart to this superstar? Give her a safe space to shine, and she’ll prove that true love is into the groove! Madonna has been spayed, is current on vaccines, has tested negative for heartworm and is microchipped. If you are interested in adopting Madonna, please complete an adoption application on our website (uaaf.org/adopt).

This sweet girl loves being close to her humans ( adults and kids )  and doggy companions, but don't let her cuddly side fool you — she is the definition of PUPPY ENERGY! Play, PLAY , play is her motto! Because of her playful nature she would be best in a home with children 5 years old and up .   Miela  is catching on quickly to potty training, although she's still a work in progress.  She's also learning kennel manners during her humans' mealtimes and making great progress!  Dog-friendly! She does well with her foster doggy sibling and could thrive with another dog after proper introductions. Just know that Miela has LOTS of energy and absolutely no concept of personal space! Her ideal doggy sibling would be patient, playful, and tolerant of her enthusiastic puppy antics. Has yet to be around a cat so unsure of cats at the moment    Miela is still working on being on a leash during walks  but she's making wonderful progress as she builds her confidence. Miela is looking for a loving, patient family who understands that puppies take time, consistency, and plenty of playtime. In return, you'll get a smart, talkative , affectionate, cute little best friend who just wants to be part of your world.   Apply to adopt miela here https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplicationVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 23, 2026, 12:31 pm
