Hi, I’m Uptown 🤍🖤

I’m a 3 year old, 70 pound mixed breed boy, and I’m back at the shelter. Again.

The first time I was here, I waited 140 days. One hundred and forty days of watching other dogs walk out with families while I stayed behind. I tried not to lose hope. I tried to believe my turn would come.

Then it did.

I was adopted. I thought that was it. I thought I was finally home.

But on January 17, 2026, I came back.

Since returning, I have already spent another 41 days in this kennel. That is 181 days of my life waiting. Almost half a year of watching the door open and close without it being for me.

I don’t know what I did wrong. I don’t know why I keep starting over. I just know I’m still here.

If you’ve met me, you’ve seen it.
I am incredibly sweet.
I am playful and full of personality.
I lean into people. I stay close. I love being near my humans.

I’m the dog the staff trusts to help test other dogs because they know my temp
