Hi there! Iandamp;#39;m Carmella - your future best friend!andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Iandamp;#39;m a 3-year-old terrier mix with a heart full of love and a nose thatandamp;#39;s always curious. For a while&#44 I lived on the streets - I didnandamp;#39;t have a cozy bed or a name back then. Life was tough&#44 and sometimes I didnandamp;#39;t know where my next meal would come from. But even with all that&#44 I never gave up hope that someone would find me and see the sweet soul Iandamp;#39;ve always been.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Since coming to Great Plains SPCA&#44 Iandamp;#39;ve been healing&#44 wagging&#44 and soaking up every belly rub I can get!andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;I absolutely adore people. Big ones&#44 little ones - if youandamp;#39;ve got a lap or a kind word&#44 Iandamp;#39;m already in love. I also get along wonderfully with other dogs. Iandamp;#39;m gentle&#44 playful&#44 and always ready to make a new friend.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Even after everything Iandamp;#39;ve been through&#44 I donandamp;#39;t carry sadness with me. Nope! I carry joy. I carry hope. And I carry the dream of finding a forever home where I can cuddle&#44 play&#44 and love with my whole little heart.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Could that home be with you?andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Love&#44andlt;br/andgt;Carmella

Story
Puppies are so much fun&#44 right? Hi&#44 Iandamp;#39;m Ellie&#44 and Iandamp;#39;m a very fun puppy looking for someone to come and swoop me up and rescue me from this shelter. Iandamp;#39;m a friendly little thing&#44 who loves wiggling and bouncing around when I play&#44 and chasing toys and doing zoomies are my favorite pastimes. I love a good zoomie with a toy in my mouth!andlt;br/andgt; andlt;br/andgt;One thing I can tell you. I do well with other dogs. Iandamp;#39;m very energetic and playful&#44 and some describe me as a rather rowdy gal when I engage. Iandamp;#39;d probably do best with a more confident dog who can kinda instruct me on what Iandamp;#39;m doing right and when Iandamp;#39;m just being annoying. Hey&#44 Iandamp;#39;m super smart&#44 so Iandamp;#39;ll learn quickly. andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;I am eager to please&#44 and I so want to understand what you like. I will try to give you a kiss if youandamp;#39;ll let me&#44 but a lot of the time Iandamp;#39;ll just wiggle around and hope you are noticing how cute I am. On a walk I really love to stop and look at all the things that nature has to offer. I leaf floating by&#44 a butterfly or bee&#44 a large ant on the sidewalk - all of these things are the best of distractions&#44 donandamp;#39;t you think? You can encourage me to continue along; however&#44 donandamp;#39;t you think the smallest things in life are the best and most interesting?andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;I hope you are looking into my big&#44 beautiful&#44 soft green eyes and noticing my gorgeous chocolate and white shiny coat. I will dazzle you&#44 so prepare to fall in love when we meet. andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Love from Ellie

Story
Whoandamp;#39;s bilingual you ask? Yep&#44 I am fluent in both English AND Spanish! My name is Pepper&#44 and Iandamp;#39;m an absolutely gorgeous&#44 somewhat shy&#44 but super sweet girl with a playful spirit&#44 so ready to find my forever home. I was adopted out for many months&#44 but in the end&#44 a lifestyle change caused the very difficult decision to return me to the shelter. My owner really adored me&#44 and Iandamp;#39;d love to find someone again that loved me so deeply.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;I am both potty trained and kennel trained. I am also a good leash walker. I respond well to a whistle. I am super cuddly and snuggly&#44 I enjoy being pet&#44 and Iandamp;#39;m always eager to give out my very special kisses. I know andamp;quot;sitandamp;quot;&#44 andamp;quot;downandamp;quot;&#44 and Iandamp;#39;m currently working on andamp;quot;stayandamp;quot;. I love taking showers - yes&#44 you read that right - a shower is the best thing since sliced bread. I love to play with toys like ropes and tennis balls and squeakies&#44 and I can entertain myself for hours. I am truly a very well behaved young girl. I even loved to have long andamp;quot;conversationsandamp;quot; with my human. Yes&#44 I might andamp;quot;mumble and grumbleandamp;quot; a little bit while conversing&#44 but I just know I am getting my message across. Usually Iandamp;#39;m asking for a toy or a treat. Wanna listen to me? Maybe you could film me andamp;quot;talkingandamp;quot;&#44 and we could go viral! andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;I also masquerade as a andamp;quot;lap dogandamp;quot; - even though Iandamp;#39;m a bit bigger than most lap dogs lol. I did have a small dog that came to visit&#44 and we played. Iandamp;#39;ve been found to be particular about my dog friends. One of my favorite activities is splashing around in the doggy pools outside-itandamp;#39;s the best way to cool off and have a blast! Oh&#44 and I should mention I love a good ZOOMIE every now and again. andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;I can be nervous and unsure around meeting new people. Give me about 15 minutes or so&#44 and after that&#44 itandamp;#39;s all good. I just have the andamp;quot;extra cautiousandamp;quot; gene. Great Plains thinks Iandamp;#39;d do best in a home with older kids who can keep up with my playful energy and give me the love and attention I so desperately want. If youandamp;#39;re looking for a loving&#44 playful companion&#44 Iandamp;#39;m your girl! Letandamp;#39;s dive into a lifetime of fun together.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Love from Pepper

Story
andamp;quot;Zoomiesandamp;quot; are an absolute necessity in this world&#44 right? Iandamp;#39;m best-friend material Riglio&#44 and Iandamp;#39;m an energetic and very smart young man who is happy all the time and full of fun and a zest for adventure. Life has so much to offer me&#44 and I feel like my first year of life I missed out on so much joy. Iandamp;#39;m making up for lost time by enjoying playtime. I love chasing tennis balls&#44 and I can bounce right along with the ball as I chase it! I can walk on leash with the best of andamp;#39;em&#44 and Iandamp;#39;m very open to learning commands and making you so proud of me.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Iandamp;#39;ve gotten to spend a little time in a foster home&#44 and I can honestly say&#44 itandamp;#39;s the next best thing to having my own home. My foster home says Iandamp;#39;m andamp;quot;super smart&#44 a strong runner&#44 and a great friendandamp;quot;. Ahhh. The nicest of testaments to me and my winning personality&#44 right?andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Since I have missed out on training and leadership in my life&#44 Iandamp;#39;d sure like to find a home where you can coach me and encourage me in the ways of the world. All I want is to make you happy and please you. Iandamp;#39;m definitely the kind of guy who is loyal to a fault&#44 and I think if you want to give me this wonderful second chance at love&#44 with structure and activity and training&#44 Iandamp;#39;ll be the best boy in the world to you. Iandamp;#39;d like a home with older kids just so I can focus my attention on learning and growing and being the best I can be without having little ones that might distract me. andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Please oh please want to meet me&#44 ok? Give me the opportunity to show you how wonderful I am and how much I have to offer you in the way of love and companionship and adventure.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Love from Riglio

Hey there! Iandamp;#39;m Deeno - a 1-year-old terrier mix with loads of energy and a zest for life thatandamp;#39;s hard to miss. Iandamp;#39;m kind of like a furry little tornado of fun... with ears! I loooove to run&#44 jump&#44 play&#44 and wrestle with my doggy buddies. If youandamp;#39;ve got a pup who likes to party (dog-style&#44 of course)&#44 weandamp;#39;re probably gonna be besties.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Now&#44 Iandamp;#39;ll be real with you - Iandamp;#39;m still learning the ropes when it comes to manners. Things like andamp;quot;sit&#44andamp;quot; andamp;quot;stay&#44andamp;quot; and andamp;quot;maybe donandamp;#39;t leap off the couch like a superheroandamp;quot; are all still on my to-do list. So&#44 Iandamp;#39;d do best with someone who can help me channel all this energy with positive training and patience. Trust me&#44 I want to be a good boy - I just need someone to show me how!andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Because Iandamp;#39;m still learning about boundaries&#44 Iandamp;#39;d be happiest in a home without cats (I get way too excited)&#44 and if there are kids&#44 they should probably be older and dog-savvy. Iandamp;#39;m a sweet dude&#44 but I donandamp;#39;t always realize my own strength or speed!andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Hereandamp;#39;s what Iandamp;#39;m looking for:andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;An active family or person whoandamp;#39;s ready to keep up with meandlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Someone who can help me learn impulse control and manners (I promise to try really hard!)andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;A doggy friend to play with would be awesomeandlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;So... whaddya say? Wanna be my adventure buddy? Letandamp;#39;s play&#44 learn&#44 and grow together!andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Your future best friend&#44andlt;br/andgt;Deeno
