Story
Willing to travel for rehome. This is Ruger. I am going away for military services in the Army and unfortunately need to rehome him. Ruger is a talkative 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 hang out 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! He is up to date on all vaccines, he also knows commands like sit, shake, roll over. He is not crate trained, does well free roaming when people are away as long as he is able to use the bathroom beforehand!

Story
This is my dog Ruger. He is an 8-year-old sweetheart looking for his next adventure buddy. I’m in the U.S. Army and heading out on deployment, and heartbreakingly, I don’t have anyone in my life who can care for him while I’m away. He’s great with kids, babies, and adults, truly the gentlest soul. Roo is healthy, loves to hike, walk, and is trained off-leash (but walks well on leash too). He knows all the classics: sit, shake, roll over, and wait. Roo deserves someone who can give him the love he thrives on. He’s the best boy.

Story
Meet Bubba — a Sweet Senior Gentleman Looking for His Soft Landing Bubba is a 10-year-old male Pekingese mix with the gentlest little soul. He came to UPAWS after his beloved owner passed away, along with another dog. Losing his person and his home has been a lot for this small senior boy, and he’s doing his best to understand this new chapter.Through it all, Bubba has remained incredibly friendly and trusting. He’s a social little guy who enjoys company, calm moments, and—of course—snacks. His tail wiggles when he feels safe, and he warms up quickly to anyone who shows him kindness.Bubba appears to have a mild eye issue, so he’ll need someone who can keep his eyes clean and stay on top of his vet care. Because of this, we ask that adopters have an established veterinarian.He’s looking for a quiet, loving “retirement home” where he can enjoy soft beds, gentle routines, and people who will adore him the way he deserves.If you’d like to meet Bubba, please fill out an adoption interest form on our website at upaws.org and schedule an appointment. If a meet-and-greet is set, we kindly ask that you bring your whole human household and any resident dogs to ensure it’s the perfect fit.Bubba lost so much when his person passed… now he just needs someone to help him feel safe and loved again.Pet Adoption Sponsorship from Eric Hagstrom. Bubba is a fee-paid adoption.

Story
Skip is 11 years old, and he’s the perfect mix of senior sweetness with just enough pep to keep life interesting. This handsome black Lab arrived at UPAWS as a stray, and while we don’t know his past, we can tell you this: he’s kind, gentle, and so ready for a soft, loving place to land.Skip enjoys leisurely walks, sniffing around the yard, and being part of whatever his people are doing — nothing wild, nothing over-the-top, just a nice, easy pace. He’s got a little spring left in his step, but he’s also a big fan of comfy beds, quiet time, and soaking up affection.He’s polite with other dogs and would do well in a calm home with adults or respectful older children who appreciate a mellow, good old boy.If you’ve ever dreamed of giving a senior dog a peaceful, loving retirement, Skip might be your guy. He has a gentle heart, a sweet spirit, and he’s so ready to finally feel at home.Better yet, fill out an adoption interest form.If a meet and greet is scheduled, please bring your whole human and dog household along.Please help us share Skip so he can find the caring family he’s been waiting for. Or come meet him at UPAWS — he just might be the one you’ve been hoping for.
