Story

Buffalo has come a long way or the past year. I can`t even imagine what his life was like before he was rescued. He was found tied up outside not being fed. His first few days at UPAWS his bowel movements were sand. He has put on about 30lbs. He lived with two dogs while with me. They have passed. We have been together 1 year. He is food driven , but not food aggressive. I use treats as a training tool meeting dogs. He has been perfect in the house. Buffalo is a INDOOR dog. He does not counter surf or dig in the trash or yard.. He does not get on the furniture or beds. He knows sit and lie down. He has free roam of house. I have never had to try a kennel. He is extremely affectionate towards people and seeks affection. He walks well on a leash. He is reactive to some dogs when meeting. He does eventually warm up to some. Its something we are working on. Buffalo has a good recall off lead. Needs to be on lead when other dogs are around. Once he knows a dog he does well. This is a difficult decision. I love Buffalo, he is my best friend. I have serious health issues and need to find him a loving home that will spoil him and give him a loving home he so much deserves ? Buffalo has a vet appointment on 12/29/25 for his yearly check up/vacancies.**** Buffalo is not at Upaws*****If you are interested in Buffalo please contact:MarkPhone number: 906-440-2726Email: treadomt@gmail.com

Bermuda

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 8 mos

Gwinn, MI

Size

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

Details

Story

When Bermuda first meets new people, she doesn’t rush in. She may crouch just a little, avoid direct eye contact, and wag her tail softly and low — not because she isn’t friendly, but because she’s carefully reading the room. She’s quietly asking, “Are you kind?”And once she has her answer, she melts.With gentle hands and a calm presence, Bermuda leans right in. She climbs into laps, sniffs faces like she’s offering a shy little kiss, and eventually rolls onto her back in full trust, her tail wagging just at the tip. When she realizes she’s safe, she shakes it off and her tail starts wagging bigger, freer, and happier.That’s Bermuda in a nutshell: a sensitive girl at first, with a deeply affectionate heart once she feels secure.Playtime brings out her puppy side — bouncy, curious, and joyful — with a wagging tail that never really stops, even if her body stays a little low while she’s figuring things out. She loves gentle interaction and shows her excitement in sweet, earnest ways.Around other dogs, Bermuda is interested but cautious. She prefers slow introductions and feels most comfortable when she can approach on her own terms. She offers sweet play bows and watches carefully, especially when she has a trusted human nearby. She would likely do best with a gentle, respectful dog who understands her soft approach to the world.Bermuda at a glance:•?? Dogs: Bring to meet•?? Kids: Respectful children•?? Cats: UnknownBermuda isn’t a dog who will barrel into your life.She’s a dog who will gently walk in, curl up beside you, and slowly — but completely — give you her heart.And once she does… it’s something really special.
