Story

EDDIE – Shepherd Mix / 3 Years / 36kg / M-Neutered Eddie is a sweet, affectionate boy who is growing in confidence daily. He’s happy, affectionate, and incredibly loving. Eddie’s foster family describes him as “adorable, cute, playful, loyal, a great companion, obedient, and intelligent.” He’s looking for a home with someone who loves to cuddle, has time for walks and play, and understands that the world can sometimes feel big and overwhelming for him. Eddie is well-trained and thrives on companionship. His ideal home would include people who are home most of the time. Eddie would prefer to be a solo dog, but would also love regular playdates with other pups. He gets along well with cats and would do best with kids who are respectful and experienced with dogs. A home with a large yard for running and exploring would make Eddie happiest, along with plenty of walks and active time spent with his family. Above all, Eddie dreams of finding a family to call his very own—a loving, patient home where he can feel secure and adored. If you’d like to apply for Eddie, check out the adoption process and application at www.dibsrescue.com. His adoption fee is $750.

Milo

German Shepherd Dog Treeing Walker Coonhound

Male, 1 yr 9 mos

Erin, ON

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Milo is so much fun to spend time with! This handsome fella is about 1.5 years old and very intelligent. He knows his basic commands, is crate and muzzle trained, and he keeps a clean kennel. He loves car rides and is an excellent passenger, enjoys walks and a good game of tug; he is a master at fetch so he`ll need a fully fenced yard where he can safely play. Milo also needs to have his mind put to good use, so if you like teaching obedience and tricks, Milo is your guy! He does have an `off switch`, so as eager as he is to get out and play, he is good about returning to his kennel and waiting for his next turn. Milo is very enthusiastic and has a zest for life, but once he`s burned off some energy (fetch always does the trick) he is happy to hang out in the yard with you or go off on his own and sniff out the daily news. He`s also never said no to a back rub or a tasty treat.Milo was surrendered to UCHS in November of 2023 at just 10 months old. It was evident he was not provided with the structure and training that a puppy requires, resulting in a young dog who had no self-confidence or manners. The staff and volunteers saw Milo’s potential and a plan was developed. We implemented a `nothing in life is free` strategy, and incorporated obedience training with interactive games to help him replace unwanted behaviours with socially acceptable ones. It was now up to Milo to hold up his end of the bargain and he did not disappoint! We are all so proud of what he`s accomplished so far and are confident that he can continue to grow with the right support.Milo`s new family must be committed to continuing his education and confidence building, including slow/controlled introductions to new experiences, and creating trust with consistent & clear instructions. Milo has made such great strides at the shelter, which can be a stressful environment, so we are confident that he can thrive in a home of his own! ** Milo will do best in a home without cats, dogs, or children. Milo is insecure of other dogs, and while he may be able to make dog friends in the future, he just isn`t ready at this time.If you are interested in learning more about Milo, please contact us and we can set up a time for you to meet him and answer your questions. Milo can be reached at 519.833.2287 or by email at info@uppercredit.com

Story

Lots of FUN, has an active spirit, Intelligent, companion dog, jack of all trades! Will try anything once to see if he likes it, Animated Project dog, needs training- LOVES working with you! King is a marvelous, spirited boy looking for a loving forever home! He was surrendered to the shelter in April 2024 by PAWS after being abandoned in his home, left on his own. King came in under weight and but has been improving so much at the shelter. In his spare time here at the shelter he has been gaining weight and was working with the staff and volunteers on training! Once he knows what is expected of him, he will work with you and make it his routine. He loves wandering around outside with you outside- so having a fenced in area would benefit him. He gets along beautifully with other dogs; he loves playing with other shelter dogs that are well socialized! Staff would not recommend cats as he has never been around them and is busy. He would do best in a mature home and with no small children. He is not aggressive; he will just need some boundaries when adjusting to his new home. In his down time, he will chew and play with his kong, he can keep himself entertained, he enjoys slow feeders, dog puzzles, and cuddles with you. He is a lot of fun and has so much potential when given the chance! If you would like to come meet King, please contact the shelter at info@uppercredit.com to book an appointment! or call 519.833.2287 if you have any questions!

Opal

Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) American Bulldog

Female, 9 yrs 4 mos

Erin, ON

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Opal At 9 years young, has learned all her lessons and is the most polite. She is very charming, loyal, and always eager to make friends. Opal just wants to love and be loved, and take things in stride. She walks well on leash, but she can only do short walks. She is good with other dogs, she is clean in her kennel and very easy-going. While she has never lived with cats, we feel that Opal shows little interest in cats and is much more focused on what you are doing. She is wonderful with absolutely every human, including children. Opal is more of the snuggle and cuddle kind of gal. She has such lovely manners and is easy to spend time with.Important Note: On intake, Opal was vetted and spayed. At that time it was the opinion of the Veterinarian that Opal needed a mammary chain removal and TPLO surgery. Since she has been in foster, Opal has had the opportunity to get stronger and be a healthier dog. When she went to her surgery appointment October 31st, the Specialist was amazed at the progress and healing that had occurred with the time between visits. It was his opinion that the surgery not take place given the extremely difficult recovery for her and that she would not benefit enough to put her through all that, making it is no longer a necessity.We have added to Opal`s profile pictures which show the stunning improvements in her health overall! Even her eyes are brighter.It is recommended Opal will need a home where she is the only dog or with with a low energy, polite dog that would not accidently interfere with her recovery. Another chill senior dog would work too!If you would like to meet Opal please email at info@uppercredit.com for a questionnaire, or call 519.833.2287 if you have questions, the staff would love to speak to you about them.

Charlie is a handsome, sturdy young man with a sound temperament and a keen mind. He is a playful, confident, calm, puppy who is curious about the world around him. Charlie was born June 4, 2024 and arrived at the shelter in September. He is a mixed breed of unknown origin; based on his current growth rate we estimate Charlie will weigh between 50 and 60lbs.He is not quite housetrained, although he is doing pretty well at the shelter and we are confident Charlie will catch on quickly with a regular routine. He is working on his crate training too! Since his arrival, Charlie has met a number of staff and volunteers, become very social, and recently represented the shelter at an adoption event. Puppy training classes are highly recommended in order to teach Charlie to make good decisions as he navigates the world into adulthood.Puppies are so much fun, but if you don’t have puppy experience please do some research on what they need from you to grow into a polite, healthy adult.Charlie has yet to be neutered as he is too young, but he can go home under a foster-to-adopt contract. The adoption would be finalized right after his neuter.If you are interested in meeting Charlie, please contact the shelter by email info@uppercredit.com to get your questionnaire.

Zada

Beagle Hound (Unknown Type)

Female, 7 yrs

Erin, ON

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Calling all Beagle lovers! Zada was found as a stray in August 2024 and transferred to us by animal control. She was in rough shape when they found her, yet this petite lady demonstrates her reliance every day! We are baffled as to how this good-natured, well-behaved dog did not have a family looking for her, but we are honored to help her find a new home. Zada is a special girl and everyone has fallen in love with her. She is quiet in her kennel, and gets along with absolutely everyone she meets! We really can’t say enough about her… she even gives hugs.Zada does well with dogs and could coexist with cats if slow introductions are done over time. She is a Beagle through and through, so she’ll need regular exercise, a secure fenced yard, and we suggest doing scent work/games to keep that Beagle brain happy. But Zada isn’t all about play time, she knows how to chill out while waiting for her time with the staff and volunteers.The vet estimates Zada to be about 7 years of age, and her adoption fee includes spay, dental, deworming, and vaccinations.Zada will be a foster to adopt until her medical procedures are complete.If you are interested in meeting Zada, please contact the shelter at info@uppercredit.com to get a questionnaire. If you have questions, give us a shout at 519.833.2287.
