Story
Meet Apollo!Apollo is a 2-year-old Terrier mix who is short, compact, slightly weird, and packed with enough personality for three dogs.This little guy is absolutely convinced he’s much bigger than he actually is. Between his expressive ears, tiny underbite, gap-toothed grin, and hilarious personality, Apollo is one of those dogs you can’t help but notice.Apollo is neutered, walks well on a leash, knows “sit,” and loves to play. We’ve also learned that he has a definite preference when it comes to canine friends: Apollo likes the big girls!He previously shared kennel space with two female Rottweilers and absolutely loved them. They happily roughhoused with him, tolerated his antics, and occasionally reminded him who was really in charge. Both of his girlfriends have since been adopted, so Apollo is once again looking for new friends.He seems to do especially well with larger female dogs who enjoy playing and can appreciate his particular brand of chaos. As with any potential canine sibling, we recommend bringing your dog to the shelter for an introduction to make sure everyone is a good match.Apollo is goofy, playful, entertaining, and completely unique. He may never become internet famous, but we think he’ll be a superstar to the person who takes one look at his ridiculous little face and thinks, “Yep. I want that weird little dude.”Come meet Apollo and see if you’re his person.

Story
Meet Layla!Layla is a beautiful 3-year-old Terrier mix with an enthusiastic personality and plenty of love to give.When Layla first arrived at the shelter, she was underweight and her skin was in rough shape. With proper care and nutrition, she has gained healthy weight and is feeling so much better. She still has a couple of spots where her hair is growing back, but her transformation is well underway—and her personality is definitely shining through.Layla is an energetic girl who is always ready for the next adventure. She gets along well with other dogs, although her enthusiasm can sometimes be a little much for more laid-back canine friends. A dog who appreciates her energetic play style could make a great companion.She absolutely loves children, enjoys car rides, knows “sit,” and is kennel trained. She may already be house trained and, with a consistent routine, should adjust well to home life.Layla is still working on her leash manners. Right now, she sometimes believes she’s responsible for taking you for the walk instead of the other way around! Continued training and consistency will help this smart girl learn what’s expected of her.One important requirement for Layla’s future home is no cats. She finds them a little too interesting, so a feline-free home will be the safest fit.Layla would thrive with an active family who can provide plenty of exercise, attention, structure, and opportunities to be part of the fun.She has already come such a long way. Now Layla is ready for the best part of her transformation—a family and a forever home of her own.Come meet Layla and see if this sweet, energetic girl is the adventure buddy you’ve been looking for.

Story
Meet Peter!Peter is a 3-year-old Labrador Retriever mix weighing 63 pounds, and he has the perfect combination of “let’s go!” energy and a very convenient “let’s chill” button.Peter is friendly, outgoing, and always happy to be included. He’s ready for walks, playtime, adventures, and fun with his people—but when the activity is over, he’s perfectly content to settle down and enjoy some quiet time with you.And in true Lab fashion, Peter loves the water! Whether he’s splashing around in a kiddie pool or cooling off after playtime, this boy is always happy to get his paws wet.Peter is good with other dogs and kids, walks well on a leash, and has an easygoing personality that makes him a great candidate for a family looking for a dog who can be both an adventure buddy and a couch companion.At 3 years old, Peter is past the little-puppy stage but still young enough for years of walks, swimming, playtime, road trips, backyard adventures, and lazy afternoons at home.If you’re looking for a big, happy, handsome boy who can go do all the things—and then come home and do absolutely nothing with you—Peter might be your guy!Come meet Peter at Pearl River County SPCA and see if the spot he’s been waiting for is right beside you. ????
