🌟 Wish List Wednesday! 🌟

Hey everyone! We're reaching out a bit late tonight, but we wanted to share our need for soft dog treats for training sessions. These treats make all the difference when teaching our furry friends new tricks and reinforcing good behavior.

If you’re able to help, please consider purchasing locally or checking out our Amazon Wish List link. Your support means the world to us and helps us create happy, well-trained pups!

Thank you so much! 🐾❀️

Raise the Woof - What a fun night! πŸŽ‰πŸΎ

Thank you all who came out Friday night to RAISE THE WOOF with us! We were so excited to have had a sold-out show and to hear all the wonderful feedback.

The event raised over $6,000 for our UPAWS pets waiting for their forever homes!

Thank you to Raise The Woof and specifically Mark Brody and Aron Woldeslassie for putting on an amazing show for us! The event was made possible by our Venue Donor River Rock Lanes and Banquet Center and our Platinum Partners:
- Select Andi Goriesky
- Coleman-Baker Farm Bureau Agency
- Mares Z Doats
- Iron Range Agency
and Event Sponsor Congress Pizzas! We could not have done this without everyone's generous support.

Again, thank you to everyone who came out to show your support for UPAWS and helped turned this fundraiser into a great success. We hope you all enjoyed yourselves as much as we did!

πŸš—β„οΈ Cold weather tip: Before starting your car, bang on the hood or honk the horn! If you start your car from inside the house, honk or alarm first! 🐱 Cats love to seek warmth and may hide inside. A little precaution can save a life! Stay safe and keep our furry friends out of harm's way. 🐾

**ADOPTED**

Hello there, I'm Shirley! I’m a bit of a wallflower, preferring quiet settings to loud gatherings. My age is around 5 years. My demeanor is mellow, and I’m known for my sweet nature. Although I may be a bit shy at first, I do crave attention and so badly want to be loved πŸ₯°

I have a soft spot for gentle whispers and love to be pampered with gentle strokes on my long hair. My perfect day would be spent lounging around, perhaps with a bit of playtime sprinkled in. I’m not one for high-energy antics; I prefer a more laid-back lifestyle.

I previously lived with cats and kids, and I’m eager to find a forever home where I can be loved for who I am. I may be a bit reserved, but I have so much love to give. ❀️ Please adopt me!
