Cruella

German Shepherd Dog

Female, 5 yrs 4 mos

Gwinn, MI

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

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

Bear

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 7 mos

Gwinn, MI

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Bear is a six-month-old neutered boy with a whole lot of life ahead of him—and we are looking for someone very special to share it with.Bear is a sweet, sensitive youngster who needs a little more understanding than your average happy-go-lucky puppy. He is learning that people can be trusted, that hands are gentle, and that learning new things can be fun. His new person will need to give him patience, consistency, positive reinforcement, and lots of kindness as he continues to grow.And oh boy, when Bear decides you’re someone he can trust… you get the BEST Bear. He wiggles. He waggles. He gets silly and happy, and that sweet little face lights right up. Underneath that bit of uncertainty is a joyful, affectionate puppy who really, really wants to love and be loved. Earn Bear’s trust, and you’re going to have a little boy who thinks you hung the moon.Bear already walks wonderfully on a leash, but one of his favorite places to be is out in the play yard having FUN. He loves toys of all kinds, so picture yourself tossing a tennis ball across the yard and watching Bear take off after it, then coming back ready for another round. Playtime, toys, praise, treats, goofy puppy moments—and that happy Bear grin looking back at you. That’s the life we want for this boy.Bear needs a home committed to positive, reward-based training only—someone who will encourage him, build his confidence, and understand that trust may take a little time. Give Bear that foundation, and what you’ll receive in return is pretty darn special: a dog who will love you with his whole heart.Because building that relationship is so important for Bear, he will require two meet-and-greets before adoption. That gives Bear and his potential family a little extra time together to start getting to know one another before heading home.Bear is only six months old. His story is just beginning.Now he needs someone wonderful to help him write the rest of it.

Story

Willow has come a long way since the day she arrived at UPAWS. This beautiful 2-year-old girl came to us feeling scared and unsure of herself, but little by little, Willow has been showing us who she really is — a happy, goofy, playful dog with a whole lot of personality waiting underneath.Once Willow feels comfortable, she is an absolute sweetheart. She loves being with her people, enjoys attention and has a fun, silly side that comes out more and more as her confidence grows. Give her a squeaky toy and you’ll really see her light up! She loves to play, happily carries her toys around and is always ready for a little fun.Willow is also a smart girl who already knows some basics and responds beautifully when things are kept positive and encouraging. She has lived with children and another dog in her previous home.Willow has previously lived with another dog and may enjoy having a canine friend again. A meet-and-greet with any resident dog would be recommended to help make sure everyone is a good match.What Willow needs most is a family who understands that she may need a little time to feel comfortable with new people and new surroundings. She does best when she is allowed to take things at her own pace rather than being rushed. Give her that little bit of patience, and the goofy, affectionate Willow we’ve gotten to know starts shining through.This girl has made wonderful progress since arriving at UPAWS, and it has been pretty special watching her confidence grow. Now she’s ready for someone who will keep cheering her on and show her just how good life can be.If you have room in your life for a sweet, playful girl who is still discovering how brave she can be, Willow may be waiting for you.

Siskiyou

Catahoula Leopard Dog Catahoula Leopard Dog

Female, Young

Michigamme, MI

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Siskiyou is a beautiful 5-year-old purebred Catahoula Leopard Dog with the sweetest heart. She is spayed, fully vaccinated, healthy, house-trained, walks well on a leash, and knows basic commands. She is calm, affectionate, incredibly loyal, and loves being close to her people. Siskiyou is wonderful with children and gets along well with respectful dogs. She rarely barks and has a gentle, easygoing personality. We are making the heartbreaking decision to rehome her only because our work schedules have changed, and we can no longer give her the time and companionship she deserves. She is not being rehomed because of behavioral issues—she is truly an amazing dog. Siskiyou would thrive in a home where she has people around her, a large fenced yard or acreage to enjoy, and where she is treated as a beloved member of the family. She has so much love to give and deserves a forever home that can give her the companionship she needs. Our only goal is to find the perfect family who will love
