Story
* KIKI IS NOT AT UPAWS *Kiki is an exceptional dog with a heart brimming with warmth and kindness. She's more than happy to accompany you on leisurely walks, but she also relishes the art of lounging around and taking it easy. When it comes to affection, cuddling her beloved humans is her ultimate delight. Fetch, on the other hand, is reserved for indoor adventures only.While Kiki isn't particularly fond of chilly or rainy weather, she's an absolute sun worshipper. Basking in the warmth of the sun brings her immense joy. Initially, she may display timidity around new individuals, but once she forms a bond, her love knows no bounds.For an ideal living situation, Kiki would thrive as the sole pet in a household without young children. A single person or an older couple would provide her with the serene environment she craves. It's important to note that Kiki exhibits reactivity towards other animals, which is why a pet-free home is recommended.Regrettably, we find ourselves in the position of needing to rehome Kiki due to the recent arrival of our crawling baby. This change has caused her considerable anxiety. Our utmost desire is to find someone who will cherish Kiki just as deeply as we do and provide her with a nurturing home that suits her needs. It saddens us greatly to part with her, but we want nothing more than to secure her future happiness.If interested, please contact Nicole at: 906-202-2763 or nmc12377@hotmail.com

Story
Lexi is a sweet girl who loves to play, run and bask in the sun. She would do best in the country where she can run and get lots of exercise. She loves to snuggle and nap on the couch or bed. We have had Lexi since 8 weeks old but our newly walking Toddler is a lot for her to process and at times makes her very nervous. She would do best in a home with older children and adults. She does have a Boston Terrier sister that she plays well with. Cats unsure.*Lexi is NOT at UPAWS*For more information please contact: hrosenbu2010@gmail.com or call 231-409-0826Thank you!

Story
Sadie is a very loyal, loving, energetic, independent, dominant, high energy dog and loves to go on runs, long walks, and hikes. She loves people, belly rubs, and is an all season dog, loving both the snow and the beach. She needs an active home where she can get all the exercise and belly rubs she needs. :) She does not get along with other dogs and is quite reactive and aggressive towards them. Cats or any other kinds of pets would not be recommended. She would be best suited as the only pet in the house, with a strong and kind handler on a farm or a spacious large yard where she can get all the exercise she needs.**Sade is NOT at UPAWS**For more info please contact: cadelman@nmu.edu or (517) 388-3992

Story
We are considering rehoming our dog as we cannot give him the time, exercise, and training he deserves with our current work, travel, and extracurricular schedules.Charley is a 4 year old, neutered male boxer/husky (we think) mix. Charley follows simple commands and is food motivated in training. He is not currently kennel trained, but probably could be with time and effort. Charley loves his people and has significant anxiety. His heckles (hair on his back) is very prominent and he can appear aggressive to other dogs or people who are not familiar with him, even when he is not actually aggressive. He does get defensive when approached by dogs or people and he is on leash, so Charley ideally needs to live in the country or woods where he can play outside (he does not run away) or with a fenced in yard if in the city. Charley enjoys going on runs and can run for up to 6 miles comfortably. Homes with children under the age of 12 will not be considered. He is great with our child, but gets overly excited when there is commotion and can be overwhelming for little people or people who don't like dogs. His ideal owners would be active people, bonus for people who may work from home or be retired as currently he is living in a work from home situation.**Charley is NOT at UPAWS** If interested please contact:kara.graci@gmail.com or (906) 360-5774Interested persons must be able to provide at least 2 references who can speak to pet ownership and training experiences of the prospective owner.

Knows some commands, here, sit, down, no, etc. He walks on a leash but would love to run! A home with room to run or fenced yard would be best.
