My story

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

💖🌸 Introducing… Sweet Pea! The Sour Patch Queen Herself 🌸💖

📍 16 lbs | Female | Small but mighty | Nap queen & security officer

Hello, awesome people! It’s me, Sweet Pea - and yes, I’m writing my own bio because honestly, nobody can describe me better than… me.

So let’s get into it. Here’s what I’m looking for in my perfect forever home:
1️⃣ Living Arrangements:
I want a single-person home, or maybe a couple… if you pass the vibe check. No kids, please. I enjoy peace, quiet, and giving (and receiving) undivided attention.

2️⃣ Other Dogs:
I came from a home with four other dogs and while I loved them, I’m tired of sharing. I’m ready to be someone’s one and only diva. It’s giving "main character energy." 💅

3️⃣ Personality (AKA Sour Patch Realness):
My foster mom and the aunties say “Sweet Pea” is misleading - they said I should be called “Sour Patch.”
Why? Because with my people, I am pure sugar.
With strangers? Sour. Lemon sour.
And no, the phrase “all bark and no bite” does not apply here. I bark. I bite. I mean it. Consider yourself lovingly warned. 😉

4️⃣ Ideal Lifestyle:
I’m a homebody’s dream dog.
Netflix? Yes.
Snacks? Yes.
Cuddles? Mandatory.
Popcorn? I will be sharing it with you and by that I mean you will be sharing it with me.

But don’t get it twisted: I may be a cuddle queen, but I also get daily zoomies that could win Olympic medals. Give me toys and tasty treats and I become a full-blown show. 🎬🐾

And the best part?
I am fiercely loyal.
Sixteen pounds of pure, unfiltered protection. Mailman? Handled. Scammers? Eliminated. Strangers? Not on my watch. Little humans? Blocked. I’ve got you. 💪❤️

So, if you’re emotionally prepared for sass, loyalty, snuggles, zoomies, and a whole lot of personality, then maybe, just maybe, I’m your soulmate. 💖
