My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

*** Iandamp;#39;ve got a brand new video for you to watch! Please click through my pictures, and youandamp;#39;ll find it! ***andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Hi there, Iandamp;#39;m Diva! A silly shelter dog that canandamp;#39;t wait for her forever family.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;I arrived at Great Plains SPCA skinny and unsure of myself. I used to have a home, but they said they didnandamp;#39;t want me anymore. Thankfully, all the kind people here have given me so much to be happy about!andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;What I really want is a family of kids to run and frolic with. Theyandamp;#39;re the best playmates, after all! I can already imagine us running around, exploring the great outdoors together, and having a blast. When weandamp;#39;re not out having fun, Iandamp;#39;ll keep you entertained with my silly little underbite and all my goofy facial expressions. I lived in a foster home for several months and I still get to see them sometimes! Iandamp;#39;m crate trained, potty trained, and even love sitting in front of a fire place!andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Before I fully commit to a family, Iandamp;#39;d really love to meet everyone to ensure we all have that special connection. Love is a two-way street, you know! I canandamp;#39;t wait to shower my new family with endless love, loyalty, and lots of joy. Together, weandamp;#39;ll make beautiful memories in the sun, and I promise to be the best companion anyone could ask for. Letandamp;#39;s embark on this adventure called life together!

- Adopters must complete a survey and present photo identification to meet any of our animals.
- For the safety and health of our animals, we do not ship pets.

The adoption fee for each animal varies and is dependent on many factors including: age, size, behavior, medical condition, and public demand.
