Story
Hello, my name is Lexus!I am very excited to move into my new home and keep the ball rolling with my socialization. I am a very confident and loving girl and could do well in a busier household than my sister Porsche.It is important that I join a family that has the time and patience to dedicate to my socialization and training, and who can handle my energy and excitement. I am not aggressive but still mouthy and bouncy which means I am a bit too much for small children at this point of my life. To become a well-rounded, socialized adult, it`s important I have frequent and positive interactions with new people, other dogs, visits to the vet clinic and other unfamiliar environments (like friends` homes and pet stores).I am very affectionate, playful and just a bundle of pure love! MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES...CHILDREN: I could be good with older children that can help with my training but I am a bit much for small kids.OTHER DOGS: I could be good with other dogs once I have been taught proper socialization.CATS: Potentially, with a cat confident around dogs and training.FIRST-TIME DOG OWNERS: I would do best with someone who has previous dog experience. Researching Belgian Malinois dogs would be a good idea.FENCED-IN YARD: Highly recommended.HOUSING ENVIRONMENT: Any with a yard preferred.SOMEONE HOME MOST OF THE DAY: It would be best if someone could be home part of the day or a lunch break.SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME...ACTIVITY LEVEL: HighHOUSE-TRAINED: Yes but do expect some accidents.BIRTHDAY: May 21, 2025**I am a foster to adopt until I am spayed.**If you think I would be a good fit for you, please visit www.uppercredit.com or call us at 519-833-2287

Hi! I`m Piper, a young, sweet, and cuddly girl. I love making friends and am very loyal. Life here at the Shelter is good after living as an unclaimed stray, but I dream of a forever home where I can share all my love. I have my moments of energy and need a little more training but I am well on my way. The staff are sure that Penny is my Mom and we have stayed together even while homeless as we are unclaimed strays. We`ve been through so much together! We`re a package deal – double the fun and double the love! We promise to fill your home with joy and companionship. Adopting us means endless cuddles and faithful friendship. We can`t wait to meet you and start our new chapter together!MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES...CHILDREN: Yes, I love everyone!CATS: Cats are interesting. With a slow introduction, it might be okay. OTHER DOGS: I get along well with other dogs.FIRST-TIME DOG OWNERS: Experience with large dog breeds is recommended but not required.FENCED-IN YARD: A fenced in area would benefit me to roam around. I enjoy lounging outside on nice days.

Story
Hi, my name is Chevy!I`m a bundle of joy wrapped in fur, who loves running around and playing with everyone I meet. I’m also a quick learner; I already know how to `sit` on command. Every day, I’m learning to be more gentle but until I learn my boundaries and manners I am not recommended for small children. I think I’d make a perfect companion for someone who loves fun and affection and a very active life as much as I do. Adopt me, and let’s start our adventure together filled with love, play, and lots of learning!MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES:CHILDREN: I am a puppy who is still jumpy and teething, so I can be a lot for small children. Until I learn my boundaries and manners, I am not recommended for small children. OTHER DOGS: I am still working on my socialization skills and learning not to bark, but I have lots of potential and will likely do well with other dogs with time and a proper introduction.CATS: I am unsure of cats and will chase them due to my high prey drive.FIRST TIME DOG OWNERS: Experience with dogs and training is highly recommended.HOUSING ENVIRONMENT: I have lots of energy and love to run and play. A fenced yard or large property are preferred.SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME...BIRTHDAY: May 25, 2025HOUSE TRAINED: YesACTIVITY LEVEL: HighIf you think I would be a good fit for you, please visit www.uppercredit.com/adoption-profile-1 or contact info@uppercredit.com to submit an application.

Story
We got Angel in the middle of the COVID 19 pandemic, she brought immense joy to our famnily and was the sweetes girl ever, we had our first kid in 2024 and he is extremely allergic to Angel, to the point where we had to relocate angel to our basement since he will break out in hives if they are in the same general section of the house. It is with an extremely heavy heart that we are willing to give her away since we love her. However, thinking about it rationally she will be better off with a new family that will be able to give her the love and attention we once were able to give her and even more. Angel is an absolute sweetheart and she is extremely independent, she is used to being alone for long stretches of time since my wife and I had crazy work schedules before having our kid, she has never destroyed any furniture, dug through anything or even chewed anything. we just want her to find a new forever home where she will be loved how she deserves to
