Plott Hound puppies and dogs in Yucaipa, California

SADIE, OUR SHY LITTLE SOCIAL BUTTERFLY! 🦋🐾 Sadie is the kind of dog who just fits right into the family! She's sweet, gentle, bubbly, and wonderfully easygoing. She's about 1½ years old, possibly a plott hound or pittie mix, and a petite 40–50 pounds. She's already house trained and crate trained! She's fantastic with other dogs, cats, and even little kids, including toddlers! She's shared kennels with several different dogs and has proven to be quite the social butterfly. She's more of a follower than a leader, with a gentle play style and a love for being part of the dog gang. She can be a little shy at first, but you can practically see how badly she wants to join the fun. Give her a little time, and that happy, adorable personality comes shining through! ❤️ We've been in love with Sadie since her picture first appeared on the shelter website. We watched as days turned into weeks, then months, and somehow this beautiful girl was still waiting. We couldn't let time become her enemy, so we rescued her along with her kennel mate, Sir William Flufflebutt (Bill to his friends 😂). We can't imagine anyone meeting this sweet girl and not falling completely in love. Just look at that smile! 🥹❤️ 📍 Murrieta, CA 🐾 Apply at thecomebackpack.org

🐾 MEET DIANA — A BEAUTIFUL SOUL WITH A HEART AS BIG AS HER HUGS! ❤️ 3-Year-Old Plott Hound | Female | 84.5 lbs 📍 Friends of Upland Animal Shelter — Upland, CA 🐾 Animal ID: IEPA-A-19598 📅 Intake Date: August 12, 2026 Some dogs steal your heart the moment you meet them. Others have a story that makes you love them even more. Diana is both. ❤️ With her stunning brindle coat, adorable smiling face, and that irresistible little wiggle in her walk, Diana is an extraordinarily beautiful girl. But as gorgeous as she is on the outside, her greatest beauty is something photographs simply cannot capture: her wonderfully gentle, affectionate, and loving personality. And Diana has quite a story to tell. 🌸 A Difficult Beginning, a Beautiful Transformation When Diana first arrived at the shelter, life was anything but easy. She was suffering from serious and painful medical conditions that required surgery and treatment. Imagine arriving in an unfamiliar place, surrounded by strangers, while experiencing tremendous physical discomfort and distress. Understandably, Diana struggled. Her fear and pain sometimes came out as defensive behavior, and there were concerns about her ability to adjust to shelter life. But one volunteer, Mark, saw beyond those difficult moments. With patience, kindness, and a willingness to give Diana the time she needed, Mark helped her through those challenging early days. And something beautiful happened. As Diana recovered physically and began to feel safe, her wonderful personality blossomed. The frightened, hurting dog gave way to the gentle, happy, affectionate Diana we know and adore today. Her recovery has been remarkable, and she has become a volunteer favorite! Sometimes, all a dog needs is medical care, a little patience, and someone who believes in her. ❤️ 🐕 Meet the Diana We Know Today! Diana is a delightful combination of calmness, affection, intelligence, and happiness. She walks beautifully on leash, knows basic commands, and is eager to learn, especially when delicious treats are involved! She's a social butterfly who enjoys meeting people and spending time with her human friends. And then there are her hugs! Yes, Diana occasionally likes to stand up and give someone a loving hug. She's not an excessively jumpy dog, but every now and then, this nearly 90-pound sweetheart simply has too much love to keep all four paws on the ground! Her affectionate personality is matched by a lovely, peaceful disposition. Diana enjoys her walks and exploring the world, but she also knows how to slow down and appreciate the simple pleasures of life. And despite her impressive size, Diana considers herself a lap dog! ❤️ We suspect she hasn't quite realized how big she is! 🌳 A Wonderful Walking Companion One of Diana's favorite activities is enjoying a relaxing walk with her human friends. She walks nicely on leash and seems perfectly happy taking in the sights, smells, and sounds around her. She's curious without being overly excitable, and her calm, confident manner makes spending time with her a genuine pleasure. And have we mentioned her walk? Diana has the most adorable way of moving, with a gentle side-to-side wiggle that makes it look as though she's dancing through life! It's impossible not to smile when you see her coming. 🏡 Diana's Dream Home Diana would love a home where she can enjoy regular walks, companionship, affection, and plenty of opportunities to relax with the people she loves. She has a calm personality but would also enjoy an active family that includes her in everyday adventures. Children: Diana recently enjoyed a lovely encounter with a family with children during one of her walks. She behaved beautifully! Because of her size and occasional enthusiastic hugs, we recommend a home with children ages 13 and older. Other dogs: Diana has not yet been formally tested with other dogs. However, she has shown no observed reactivity when encountering dogs during walks or seeing them pass by the play yard. Further introductions and evaluation would be needed to determine compatibility. Cats: Diana needs a home without cats. Although she may appear uninterested in cats at a distance, closer encounters have revealed a strong interest in chasing them. Experience: With her gentle temperament, intelligence, and eagerness to learn, Diana could be a wonderful companion even for a first-time dog owner comfortable handling a large dog. ❤️ Can You Imagine Life With Diana? Imagine a chilly winter evening. You're curled up on the couch, a warm blanket across your lap, watching your favorite movie. Beside you is Diana, peacefully sleeping, perhaps with her beautiful head resting on your feet. Or imagine a lazy summer afternoon, the two of you enjoying a quiet nap after a lovely morning walk. No grand adventures needed. No extraordinary moments. Just the simple, wonderful happiness of sharing your life with a dog who loves you. That's the kind of happiness Diana has to offer. She has already overcome so much. She's learned to trust again, to enjoy life again, and to share her enormous heart with the people around her. Now there's just one thing missing. A family of her own. A place where she can finally settle in, feel loved, and never have to wonder where she belongs. Come meet Diana. Let her give you one of those famous hugs. Watch her adorable little wiggle as she walks beside you. And don't be surprised if this beautiful brindle lady walks straight into your heart. Diana isn't looking for a perfect home. She's looking for someone to love. ❤️🐾 📍 Friends of Upland Animal Shelter Upland, California 🐾 Animal ID: IEPA-A-19598
