My story

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

Pennington County Humane Society 



🐾 Meet Dewey Dewey is a resilient 2-year-old Pit Bull mix who's ready for a fresh start. Transferred in from another agency. Dewey arrived underweight and battling a severe flea infestation—but his spirit never wavered. Despite everything, he greeted staff with gentle eyes and a quiet strength that's impossible to ignore.

Thanks to dedicated care of several groups, Dewey has gained healthy weight, received core vaccinations, and is healing from a draining shoulder wound and itchy skin. He's heartworm-negative and microchipped, and his flea treatment and antibiotics are complete. Dewey's still recovering, but he's making steady progress and soaking up every bit of kindness.

He's looking for a home that understands the power of patience, love, and second chances. Dewey would benefit from a soft bed, gentle routines, and someone who sees beyond the scars to the loyal friend within. Please call with questions 218-681-8045
