Story
Hi! I'm Bo Chuckles Da Doo, but my foster people just call me Bo! As is true for many of my friends here at UPR, life and humans haven't treated me kindly. I was SO EXCITED when my forever person took me home as a wee pup, but unfortunately my forever person passed away when I was only about a year old. Distraught, confused, and lonely I found myself back at UPR, but was again SO EXCITED when my NEW forever person took me home! I guess I'm learning now that not all people will be my forever people because my second owner abandoned me. I just don't get it. Is it something I've done? I take a little while to warm up to people, but can you blame me? By a little while, I really mean about a day. I'm trying my hardest. I might bark to tell you that I'm scared, but I'm not aggressive and really just like for everybody to get along. The people at UPR and my foster people say I'm the sweetest boy...just a tall, lanky, loving goofball hoping maybe my third time's a charm. I like to play with other dogs! Cats are new to me, but the one I met was OK - I could probably get used to them :) I also really like to go outside and play with toys that have squeakers that I can really chew on! I have re-learned how to only potty outside, and I know what it means to "sit" and "lay down." After I'm all worn out from playing with people and dogs, I love to snuggle on the couch with the people who treat me right. Could you be that person? I still have some puppy energy at almost 2 years old, but I'm also young and eager enough to be trained by patient people. My foster people think that after I get over this bump in the road I'm going to make a really loving, loyal, sweet addition to someone's family - even if they already have pets around to be my new siblings. Inquire about me today! I'd love to meet you!

Story
Woof woof, let me bark you a tale, Of a Shar Pei mix, with a wag and a wail. I came to this shelter, all bald and in need, But with love and care, I'm growing indeed! My allergies were horrid, my skin was a mess, But now I'm on the mend, I must confess. With a dermatologist by my side, I'll soon be healed, ready to glide! I'm a true rescue, a diamond in the rough, With my pointy bunny ears, I'm not a bluff. I love all humans, with a heart so true, And with other dogs, I'll play and pursue. My diet's special, a culinary delight, But don't worry, I won't start a food fight. I'm a bit of a project, but that's just fine, With your love and care, I'll truly shine! So if you're seeking a friend, a loyal mate, I'm here waiting, don't make me wait. With my tan coat growing in, and my wrinkles so neat, I'm ready for a home, where love's the heartbeat! So please, oh please, take me home, I promise to be your very own gnome. With kisses and cuddles, I'll fill your heart, Together we'll make a brand new start!

Story
Hi&#44 Iandamp;#39;m Destiny! But my foster mom calls me Dessy or Dessy Bear (I love her names for me).andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Iandamp;#39;m looking for a home of my own for Christmas. Iandamp;#39;ve been a very good girl this year (Iandamp;#39;m at the top of Santaandamp;#39;s Nice List)&#44 so let me tell you why you need me under your tree right now. I would prefer to be the only pet in your home&#44 I desire to have all the love to itandamp;#39;s fullest. andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;I was scared when I first came to the shelter&#44 and the noise and confusion made me very unhappy. As soon as I found a foster home&#44 though&#44 I relaxed&#44 and now my mom says Iandamp;#39;m the perfect dog. I like things to be calm&#44 because Iandamp;#39;m calm&#44 too.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;I like to snuggle&#44 take rides in the car&#44 and play with my favorite big blue ball. I really like stuffies&#44 but sometimes I like them too much&#44 so Iandamp;#39;m better off with chew toys...or my favorite big blue ball.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Iandamp;#39;m housebroken&#44 and I always stand by the door to tell my mom that itandamp;#39;s time to let me outside. I love my fenced backyard&#44 but Iandamp;#39;m not crazy about going for walks. Something about them scares me&#44 and although Iandamp;#39;m getting braver&#44 my favorite part is when we turn around and go home.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;My mom says Iandamp;#39;m super smart&#44 and even though sheandamp;#39;s partial&#44 I will admit that I learn things really fast. I know how to sit and lie down and come when Iandamp;#39;m called&#44 but what Iandamp;#39;m really good at is andamp;quot;wait.andamp;quot; I know to wait while my mom walks in or out of a door and to wait before I get in or out of the car&#44 but what Iandamp;#39;m really good at is waiting until Iandamp;#39;m invited up on her bed or her chair. andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Even if she puts a treat on the floor and tells me to andamp;quot;wait&#44andamp;quot; I will&#44 although sometimes I drool just a little. As great as I am about waiting&#44 though&#44 Iandamp;#39;m ready to stop waiting to find my forever home. Please come meet me soon. I think we could be each otherandamp;#39;s very best present this Christmas.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;With all my love&#44andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Destiny (aka Dessy andamp; Dessy Bear)
