Story
* RUGER IS NOT AT UPAWS *Ruger is an 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 hangout 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!If interested please contact Chloe at 734-790-8380 or chloeselkhoury@gmail.com!

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

Meet Casper – A Handsome Boy with a Heart to Love!Meet Casper! This gorgeous two-year-old Shepherd mix has one beautiful blue eye, one warm brown eye, magnificent ears, and a personality that has won over the hearts of our staff and volunteers here at UPAWS!Casper is a friendly, affectionate boy who enjoys spending time with people. He’s playful, curious, and has a sweet side that makes him especially lovable. And one of his most endearing habits? He absolutely loves carrying around his favorite stuffed toy! There’s something pretty adorable about seeing this handsome shepherd proudly walking around with his treasured little companion.At just two years old, Casper has plenty of life and adventures ahead of him! He would love a family that enjoys spending time with their dog, whether that’s exploring the outdoors, taking walks, playing together, or simply enjoying each other’s company. Positive reinforcement training, interactive activities, and a consistent routine would be wonderful ways to build a strong bond with this intelligent boy.Casper has become a favorite among many of our staff and volunteers, and it’s easy to see why. He enjoys attention, has an affectionate personality, and brings a little extra happiness to those who spend time with him.A few important things to know about Casper: He has occasionally shown some possessiveness over his toys during playtime. His future family should be comfortable respecting his space, using positive reinforcement, and helping him feel secure when enjoying his favorite belongings. Our staff will be happy to discuss this with potential adopters.Casper previously lived with another dog and has shown positive interest in dogs during some of his interactions at the shelter. However, he has also had a difficult encounter with another dog, so introductions will need to be carefully managed. Any resident dogs will need to come for a meet-and-greet, and slow, thoughtful introductions will be important.Casper needs a home without cats due to his strong interest in chasing them. Families with respectful children may be a good match, with appropriate introductions and an understanding of his toy-related behaviors.What makes Casper so special isn’t just his striking good looks. It’s the affectionate, playful boy behind those beautiful eyes, the dog who loves his stuffed toy, enjoys spending time with people, and has so much companionship to offer.Casper is ready for a family who will appreciate his personality, understand his needs, and give him the love, patience, and opportunities he deserves.Could Casper be the wonderful new companion you’ve been looking for?Important Adoption InformationCasper is NOT included in the Fox Subaru adoption event. Interested adopters must complete an adoption application. All human household members and resident dogs are required to attend a meet-and-greet with Casper.Our goal is to find the best possible match for this very special boy and his future family.

Story
** ONYX IS NOT AT UPAWS **Onyx is a wonderful dog. I am looking for a better home for her because working nearly full time and going to school isn`t giving her the attention she deserves. A better home to me is someone that works from home and has a nice big backyard that she can run in. She is slightly afraid of kids (has never lived with one) but its great with other dogs, cats and birds. Onyx is the chillest Australian Shepherd ever, she would love to cuddle and chill all day. She is also great with walks, car rides, hiking, etc. She lived on the road (camper travelling the country) for a year. She knows plenty of commands/tricks, the basics and `where`s [person]?` She`s not interested in toys, she much prefers attention or treats. Onyx is very good at routines, and will come with her automatic feeder so she never wakes you up in the morning. She is trained to ring a bell when she needs outside (but also has used and loved a doggy door to a fenced in yard). Onyx also has no problem with storms, fireworks, etc. I`m happy to answer any questions you may have.If you are interest in Onyx, please reach out to Theodore at 269-569-3399 or atheeslinder@gmail.com

Story
Those bright blue eyes may catch your attention, but Nala’s loving heart is what will stay with you. This beautiful 11-month-old Husky/Shepherd/Pit Bull mix loves being close to her people. After she’s had a chance to get some exercise, you’ll see that softer side of her—leaning right in for pets, soaking up affection, and enjoying time together. Our own Ann spent time with her and put it simply: “She’s a lovely dog.”Nala came to UPAWS after a change in her owner’s work situation left him with little time for her. He described her as super loving and attached to her people—a girl who just wants love. Now she’s looking for a family with time to share walks, play, and all those everyday moments that make a dog part of the family.Still a youngster, Nala has plenty of energy and some puppy manners to learn. She can pull on leash and get mouthy when excited. Regular exercise, patient guidance, and positive training will help her practice those skills while building a bond with her new people.Nala is interested in making dog friends, too, although her enthusiasm can be a little much! She lived with a senior dog and didn’t always know when playtime was over. Staff have already seen her relax and become playful during carefully managed fence introductions. She’ll need slow introductions and help learning polite dog manners. Any canine housemate should be tolerant and comfortable with an enthusiastic young dog.She has lived with children, but her bouncy play may overwhelm little ones. Please bring your children to meet her. Her experience with cats is unknown.Nala has so much affection to share. Give her a chance to stretch her legs, spend a little time with her, and let her show you the sweet girl behind those beautiful eyes.
