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
Lincoln / Male / 11 Weeks / Northern Mix Breed / Dogs: Yes / Cats: Yes / Kids: Yes / Meet Lincoln! 🐶 Another sibling from the fantastic four, hailing from the beautiful Grassy Narrows in Northern Ontario. 🇨🇦 Lincoln is a northern mix breed with a likely combination of shepherd, husky, retriever, collie, and who knows what else! What we do know is that he’s as cute as can be, with a mid-level energy vibe that keeps him playful and fun. Lincoln LOVES food—especially cheese 🧀 and tangerines—and is always up for a toy-filled adventure. He’s friendly, confident, and loves playing with other dogs (and even trying to play with the cats, though there’s no prey drive here!). Always down for a zoom around the yard, he’s curious and smart, ready for any adventure that comes his way. Lincoln’s loving nature and sweet personality make him the perfect companion, but like any puppy, he’s got a mischievous streak! 😏 He thrives with mental stimulation and needs toys and activities to keep his mind sharp. This smart boy is set to shine with some training—he’s bound to be the best boy around! ✨ Lincoln is current on age appropriate vaccines and is microchipped. He is being fostered in North York. 📍 Apply to Adopt! https://forms.gle/iqxTc3yHtb8Le34L9
