My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

"Hondo is a super sweet boy and a gentle walking companion. And he absolutely loves playing catch with his tennis ball! As a herding dog by nature, he has a lot of energy and if you love to throw a ball, Hondo is your boy to catch and return it every time! A treat and a hug or scratch are welcome rewards for him. Don't worry, he will let you know when he is tired out and ready for a drink of water and a lie down."

Sponsored by Kim Potaracke. $0 fee to adopt.

More about this shelter

We are a local non-profit organization run and staffed by your neighbors. We make decisions on caring for homeless, unwanted, abandoned and abused domestic animals based on what we believe is best for them. We have no affiliation with any larger group and we receive no funding from any larger group that might influence our decisions or actions.

We advocate only for the animals in our care to help them find their forever home with you.

UPAWS does not receive operating funds from any governmental agency. We rely on donations from our neighbors and friends to make our efforts possible. We save consistently 98% of the animals who come to us – which is an award-winning success story. We want to educate everyone on proper animal care so there soon won’t be the three percent who come to us too sick or wounded to be saved. It’s your support that makes this dream possible.
