Story
Rose is a Great Pyrenees, Saint Benard, Mastiff mix. I've had her since she was two months old. She is house broken, and graduated basic obedience training. She is a rather large, strong dog, and needs consistent exercise, and daily grooming. She has a very sweet temperament, loves kids and people. She is very protective of her people and property. Outside of the home, she is the opposite, very laid back disposition.I really don't want to rehome her. She's a chewer, and will take anything she can get ahold of, including furniture. I've read this bad habit is normal for Great Pyrenees, and sometimes they grow out of it by the time they turn two. Unfortunately, I can no longer wait it out, and I don't want to have to crate her everytime I'm not with her. It wouldn't be fair. She needs more attention and a firm hand then what I can provide. Ideally she should go to a farm, so she can be the Guardian that she naturally is.

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
?? 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
** ONYX IS NOT AT UPAWS **Onyx is a wonderful dog. I am looking for a better home for her because working nearly full time and going to school isn`t giving her the attention she deserves. A better home to me is someone that works from home and has a nice big backyard that she can run in. She is slightly afraid of kids (has never lived with one) but its great with other dogs, cats and birds. Onyx is the chillest Australian Shepherd ever, she would love to cuddle and chill all day. She is also great with walks, car rides, hiking, etc. She lived on the road (camper travelling the country) for a year. She knows plenty of commands/tricks, the basics and `where`s [person]?` She`s not interested in toys, she much prefers attention or treats. Onyx is very good at routines, and will come with her automatic feeder so she never wakes you up in the morning. She is trained to ring a bell when she needs outside (but also has used and loved a doggy door to a fenced in yard). Onyx also has no problem with storms, fireworks, etc. I`m happy to answer any questions you may have.If you are interest in Onyx, please reach out to Theodore at 269-569-3399 or atheeslinder@gmail.com

Story
**Remi is NOT at UPAWS**This is Remi. She is a very loving dog towards humans but is territorial towards other animals. It would be best for her to be the only dog in the household. She doesn`t mind cats. She does like to play with them. It would also be best if there are no super small children in the house. However she doesnt really mind older kids around 6 and up who know to respect her and know when to leave her alone, as she is grumpy at times in her old age. She is super cuddly and enjoys any attention that anyone will give her. She loves to sleep in bed with her humans, especially under the blanket. She is kennel trained however she hasn`t been kept in a kennel consistently for a few years so it would take some getting used to again. She will chase squirrels and stuff so she would do best with a fenced in yard or on a dog run. Even though she is 8 years old she is still pretty high energy at times, other times she just likes to lay around and sleep.Ideal household - No other dogs! No small children!If you have any questions please let me know! Texting is preferred!Please contact Mya at: myaplankey@gmail.com or (906) 250-4829

Story
Cruella is a long haired, black German Shepherd. She needs an experienced GSD owner who is familiar with stranger aggression (she’s fearful of new people) & a calmer house with not many visitors. She has been raised around children & cats, but I would recommend a home with neither simply because of her prey drive. She’s lived with 2 older male dogs her entire life & has bern socialized with other dogs/animals, but I would recommend a meet and greet with your dogs before taking her home. Cruella is a cuddling, licking machine who genuinely believes she is a lap dog. She loves her people fiercely & has the sweetest soul. She has the recall of a saint & sticks by your side without much guidance. She is potty trained, crate trained (but has not needed one in years) & has zero food aggression. She knows basic commands: sit, stay, come, go lay down, shake & shake other paw. She loves sleeping on the couch, swimming, playing fetch & car rides!To add: she has some allergy problems we’ve never gotten to the bottom of. She does well on fish based diets ONLY (we feed salmon diamond naturals) & does occasionally have ear infections specifically during the season changes.*** Cruella is not at Upaws!***If you are interested in Cruella please contact:Name: Colby PisanchinPhone number: (906) 361-3868Email: Nordeen555@aol.com
