My story

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

Hello there, I’m Spanky—a 3-year-old, 51 pound, Great Pyrenees and Staffordshire Bull Terrier mix with a mostly white coat and some rather handsome golden-tan spots, if I do say so myself. 🤍🐾 I’m known around here for being extremely sweet and for giving the very best hugs. Truly, if affection were a job, I’d be employee of the month.

I’m what they call a Velcro dog—I feel happiest when I’m right by my people. I love to lean into you, sit on your feet, and stay close at all times. It’s my way of saying, “You’re my person,” and as a bonus, I’m excellent at keeping toes warm in the winter. ❄️😊 I enjoy squeaky toys, and I will never say no to a yummy treat offered with kindness.

I’m a polite fellow with good manners. I know how to sit and give a paw, and I walk nicely on a leash. New places can make me a little nervous at first, so I appreciate patience and gentle encouragement—but once I realize I’m safe, my playful, loving personality really shines and I’m ready to enjoy myself fully.

I get along well with other dogs and I know how to use a doggie door. Since I came in as a stray, my humans can’t promise I’m 100% house-trained just yet, but I do all my business outside in the kennel yard or on walks, so I’m clearly on the right track. With a consistent routine, I know I’ll do just fine.

I’m ready for my forever home—one filled with love, reassurance, and lots of together time. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will stick by your side and fill your days with warmth and affection, I’d be honored to be your Spanky. 🐶💛 You can also call the shelter at 479-394-5682 to find out more about me.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

When you decide to adopt a pet, we charge a fee to cover some of our costs. (Except for 2 employees, all others are volunteers!) If there is any problem with your adopted pet, call us to work out a solution. Occasionally, we do take adopted pets back, but very seldom. This is why visiting our shelter is so important! We are willing to work with you! And we appreciate referrals!
