Story
I adopted Newt from a humane society, I used a breed ID kit on him and he's mostly Pitbull/Staffy and just a little Bulldog. I was hoping to rehome him to someone who has more time for him, he's still very young and I know he has lots of potential. He will be turning 1 this December, toward the end of the month. He was raised with 2 other small dogs, and has had potty training mastered pretty early on. It's hard to admit, but life has thrown me for more than a few loops lately. I've come to realize that I've bitten off more than I can chew with 3 dogs all to myself.

Story
* RUGER IS NOT AT UPAWS *Ruger is an 8 year old German Shepherd. He is the best adventure buddy, and lives for the outdoors, hiking, running, the lake, and snow especially. His favorites are sticks and tug a war, could happily play fetch all day. Ruger loves people, any chance to hangout with you on the couch, or outside he is there. He rides well in the car, not reactive to loud noises/storms. Good with younger children, teens, young adults. Has not been around cats before. He is good with dogs as long as they have been introduced properly. After a good exercise, he is a relaxed guy who just wants to be near you!If interested please contact Chloe at 734-790-8380 or chloeselkhoury@gmail.com!

Story
Skip is 11 years old, and he’s the perfect mix of senior sweetness with just enough pep to keep life interesting. This handsome black Lab arrived at UPAWS as a stray, and while we don’t know his past, we can tell you this: he’s kind, gentle, and so ready for a soft, loving place to land.Skip enjoys leisurely walks, sniffing around the yard, and being part of whatever his people are doing — nothing wild, nothing over-the-top, just a nice, easy pace. He’s got a little spring left in his step, but he’s also a big fan of comfy beds, quiet time, and soaking up affection.He’s polite with other dogs and would do well in a calm home with adults or respectful older children who appreciate a mellow, good old boy.If you’ve ever dreamed of giving a senior dog a peaceful, loving retirement, Skip might be your guy. He has a gentle heart, a sweet spirit, and he’s so ready to finally feel at home.Better yet, fill out an adoption interest form.If a meet and greet is scheduled, please bring your whole human and dog household along.Please help us share Skip so he can find the caring family he’s been waiting for. Or come meet him at UPAWS — he just might be the one you’ve been hoping for.

Story
* LIZZIE IS NOT AT UPAWS *Lizzie Lou is a sweet girl that loves to give kisses and “hugs”. She does well at our family camp off lead and loves to run with her other doggo friends. Her favorite toys are power chewer toys and loves turkey slices and string cheese! She can swim but prefers to just wade and lick up the water.She prefers to be the only dog around in her own home. Our old man dog is having a hard time keeping up with her desire to play. Cats are things to chase for Lizzie Lou so most likely a home with no cats or cats that don’t care Lizzie is around. Little kids might get knocked down from all her love she gives.Lizzie has been recently spayed and is up to date or her shots.We take Lizzie on daily walks to help with getting the zoomies out. If she has a toy to chew on, she’s the happiest girl around. Sometimes she’s possessive of those toys and her food. We’ve worked with her as best as we can but sometimes she will let out a growl if you try and take away a toy. We redirect with a treat and then can take away the toy.She is a sweet girl that just needs a different environment to blossom which I know with the right family, she will.If interested please contact Chelsea at 906-202-9792 or chelsea.prunick@icloud.com!
