Story
?? Meet Odie—a sweet, friendly guy who’s a big baby at heart! This handsome brindle boy is full of energy, ready for an adventure, and happy to soak up affection. He’s even been known to melt backward into a staff member’s arms. ??Odie came to UPAWS because his owner’s Army relocation meant he could no longer keep him. Now he’s looking for a family to love.He has lived with children, cats, and a senior dog. He can be a little shy and careful when greeting new dogs, but was friendly on a recent buddy walk. With cats, he wants to play, so a dog-savvy kitty who is comfortable with that enthusiasm would be his best match.Odie finds being away from his people difficult. His previous family reported that he generally managed absences under four hours, but could have potty accidents when left longer. He’ll appreciate a home with regular breaks, a predictable routine, and patience as he settles in.He also has allergies that affect the skin around his eyes. He’s receiving eye drops and eating a prescription z/d diet recommended by his previous veterinarian. Our staff can explain his care needs to interested adopters.Looking for an affectionate, active companion? Come meet Odie at UPAWS! ??

Story
👑 **Queenie is looking for a FOSTER or FOSTER-TO-ADOPT home!** 👑💕 This precious 13-pound, 2-year-old Chihuahua mix came to us as an owner surrender. Her family loved her but could no longer provide for her, so Queenie is ready to start her next chapter with a family of her own! 🏡❤️ Queenie is up to date on her vaccines, heartworm negative, and has been started on heartworm and flea/tick prevention. 💉🐾 She still needs to be spayed, so her foster family would be responsible for taking her to Adopt a Pet in Fenton on November 4th. 🏥 Queenie can be a little timid at first, and she tends to spook easily, so a **quieter household without young children** would be ideal for this sweet girl. 🥹 She just needs someone that will go slow with her and give her time to acclimate🏡💕 Once she feels comfortable, her loving personality really starts to shine! . She's an absolute love bug who just wants to snuggle in your lap or follow you around like a little shadow. 🐶💗 She hasn’t had much experience around other animals, but she’s doing well with the cats and dogs in her foster home! 🐱🐕 That being said, Queenie… well, being the QUEEN she is 👑😂… would probably prefer to be the only pet in the home or live with other animals who are happy to give her space. She’s doing well with potty training. 🚽✅ She does great on car rides, sleeps like a gem in her crate, and enjoys going for walks! 🚗🐾 📍 **Location:** metro Detroit area, Michigan Her foster-to-adopt family would need to live within approximately an hour of the Metro Detroit area to make travel to our partner vets easier for her upcoming spay and any necessary vet visits. 🏥❤️ Think you could be the perfect match for our little queen? 👑💖 Please submit a foster application if you’re interested in fostering to adopt this sweet girl! 👉 https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/foster/HPH/Dog Let’s find Queenie the loving, peaceful home she deserves! 🏡🐾💕 Happy Paws Haven Co.

Story
Meet Max! His adoption fee is covered by Fox Marquette Subaru through Subaru Share the Love, helping pets six months and older find loving homes! Max is a 1½-year-old Border Collie mix who loves the outdoors, snow, and tagging along for a car ride. He’s looking for someone who enjoys being active and wants a companion to share in the fun!Max loves people and likes to know what everyone is doing. He has also done well with dogs he’s lived with and other dogs he’s met. Here at the shelter, he’s shown a little uncertainty with unfamiliar handling, along with some happy tail wags and playful excitement. He’ll appreciate time to settle in and patient people who help him feel comfortable.One thing to know about Max: his recall needs work. He has a history of wandering off to visit neighbors and chasing deer, so he needs secure outdoor boundaries, leash adventures, and someone committed to helping him learn to come when called. He also values his special chews and will appreciate being offered a trade when it’s time to give one up.Could this snow-loving, adventure-ready boy be your new sidekick? Come meet Max at UPAWS!
