My story

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

Pluto is a rescue, in his previous home he was abused and neglected. When I got him he wasn't trained at all but he has learned a lot. He is potty trained but does get nervous being alone. He dies still potty inside sometimes but rarely. He does chew things but if he has lots of toys his attention will surely change.
He's loving, cuddly, and energetic so he needs a big yard and someone to walk him and play with him. He is scared of some men and dogs but when he gets to know them he loves them like he's known them forever. He's a good listener and a fast learner. He hasn't been around kids a lot. He's great on walks unless theres another dog, he tries to run up to them. He hasn't attacked another dog but when he barks he sounds a bit scary. He's very sweet and loves giving kisses and loves attention. He loves sleeping with you waking you up with kisses. He loves the beach and running around. He loves playing with other dogs once he's introduced, you just gotta do it slowly.
He's also very good with cats though he does try to play with them. He loves being around people and loves social gatherings. He is not shy at all. He knows some tricks such as sit and stay. He listens to his name and when you tell him to come.
He is nurtured and has his vaccinations. He loves being outside and enjoying the sun. He isn't scared of thunder or fireworks. He's a very good boy and would love a loving family with a big yard.
He's about 40 pounds, he has long hair along his back, neck and ears but short everywhere else.
He was abused in his past homes and neglected. He was always left in his kennel so he does get anxious about being in one.
He doesn't beg for your food and he sits and stays until you tell him he's a good boy before he start's eating.

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.
