Story
Bobby showed up as a stray and never claimed.  We don't know anything about his parents, but we do he's very smart, loving, and already partially house trained.  He does well with other dogs, even big ones, cats and kids too.  He is playful, energetic and loves attention and already responds well to commands.  He would make a great family pet. He's going to be a big dog and already has big feet.  If you would like more information, please contact the shelter at 870-269-5200 or go to our website at schspets.org and complete an adoption application and someone will contact you for a meet and greet.February 21, 2026, 3:04 pm
