Story
Hi, I'm Hendrix, and yes, I was clearly named after a rock star because I believe every entrance should come with excitement, enthusiasm, and possibly a dramatic tail wag. I'm a 3-year-old pit bull with a huge heart, a strong personality, and absolutely no shortage of love for my people. My favorite thing in the world is hanging out with humans - honestly, toys are fine, but I'd rather spend my time getting attention, leaning into pets, and making sure you know I'm your number one fan. I'm smart, food motivated, and already showing great progress with training. I'd do best in a home that can continue helping me practice my good manners and confidence. Once I bond with you, though, I'm all in: loyal, affectionate, goofy, and ready to be your very own cuddle-powered rock legend.*Qualifies for Pets for Patriots programPlease email Adoptions@saltlakecounty.gov with questions Primary Color: Red Secondary Color: White Weight: 67 Age: 3yrs 0mths 4wks

Story
Hi, I'm ScoutYour 2-year-old adventure partner and loyal sidekick, always ready to be right by your side! I'm a smart, confident girl who already knows "sit," and I love staying active with toys, treats, and fun outings with my favorite people. I've got an affectionate heart and an easygoing nature that makes me just as happy joining you on adventures as I am relaxing nearby while you do your thing. I may like a little time to get comfortable with new people and places, but once I do, I'm a devoted companion who's always excited to see you. If you're looking for a sweet, athletic best friend to "scout" out life's adventures together, I'm your girl!*Qualifies for Pets for Patriots programPlease email Adoptions@saltlakecounty.gov with questions Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Brown Weight: 45 Age: 2yrs 0mths 1wks

Story
Hi, I'm Rain - part adventure guide, part tennis ball enthusiast, full-time good boy. At just 2 years old, I've already mastered the art of making new friends and turning every walk into a party because hearts are definitely at risk around me. I'm the kind of guy who believes life is better with fresh air, snacks, and a human sidekick who appreciates my enthusiastic approach to everything. Whether we're heading out on a grand expedition to the park or just patrolling the backyard for suspicious squirrels, I'm ready to report for duty. If you're looking for a loyal co-pilot with Labrador charm and enough personality. I think we should meet.*Qualifies for Pets for Patriots programPlease email Adoptions@saltlakecounty.gov with questions Primary Color: Tri Color Weight: 43 Age: 2yrs 0mths 1wks

Story
Hi, I'm Bobbi, and if you've ever wondered what would happen if pure joy grew fur and learned how to bounce, spin, and talk constantly about how excited it is to see you... well, you're looking at her. I'm a 9-month-old Australian Shepherd with energy for days, a goofy personality, and absolutely no concept of personal space when affection is involved. I love toys, love people, love adventures, and honestly think every thrown ball deserves an Olympic-level celebration. I'm super social, playful, and always ready to wiggle my entire body with happiness the second you say hello. Sometimes my excitement gets bigger than my manners, but I'm eager to learn and would thrive with an active family ready to help me channel all this Bobbi-licious enthusiasm into fun adventures and continued training. If you're looking for a smart, affectionate best friend who brings nonstop entertainment and enough love to fill an entire home, I'm your girl.Please email Adoptions@saltlakecounty.gov with questions Primary Color: Tri Color Secondary Color: White Weight: 26 Age: 0yrs 9mths 1wks
