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 Sisu — and yes, she’s just as stunning in person as she looks in her photos. Those blue eyes will stop you in your tracks.Sisu is the kind of dog who takes a breath before she dives in. She’ll size you up, decide you’re worth her time, and then quietly make herself at home in your heart. She’s not the dog who barrels through the door and knocks you over — she’s the one who shows up beside you on the couch an hour later like she’s always been there.And once she’s there? She’s all in. This girl has shared a bed, a blanket, and a lazy afternoon with her people, a dog, and even a cat curled up beside her. Every home is different, of course, and we always recommend proper introductions — but Sisu has shown she can be a gracious housemate.She’s gentle, she’s sweet, and once she’s comfortable, she is pure joy to be around.Sisu has lived with both a dog and a cat, so a multi-pet household could absolutely be in her future. We do ask that you bring your pup along to meet her — she deserves a friend who’s the right fit, and so does your dog.Pet adoption sponsorship from Heather. $50 reduced fee.
