Meet Sweet Pea — a gentle, affectionate adult dog with a heart as warm as her name. 💕🐾 Sweet Pea is one of those dogs who instantly makes you feel at ease. She’s friendly with everyone she meets, always greeting people with a soft tail wag and hopeful eyes. She loves attention, enjoys being talked to, and leans in close the moment you stop to give her some affection. Sweet Pea enjoys relaxed strolls outside, cozy spots to curl up, and spending quiet time right next to her humans. She doesn’t ask for much — just a comfortable home, steady kindness, and a family who will appreciate her gentle, easygoing spirit. Sweet Pea has quickly become a favorite around here because of how sweet, patient, and people-oriented she is. She’s the kind of dog who’s simply grateful to be included, and she’ll return that love tenfold. If you’re searching for a loyal, calm, and beautifully-hearted companion, Sweet Pea may be exactly who you’ve been waiting for. Apply online or stop by the Humane Society Tuesday–Saturday from 10–5 to meet her! 💗🐾

Story
Shady spots was in a litter of puppies from our male blue champagne Ghotti mix American pit bull terrier breaking into a crate that a female hound mix was in because she was in heat. When she was weemed, my mother in law took her home. She had 11 plus kids ranging from babies to 18 around her daily. In 2021 my father in law passed away, my mother in law caught her home on fire in 2024 twice and then sold the house. In August 2024, my mother in law dropped her off in our yard with a note to please take care of her. We have tried to make it work for her to stay, but we have 2 male American pitbull terrier brothers, and even though she is spayed, our boys have been getting aggressive towards each other since she got here. We thought it would get better with time, but instead it has gotten worse. Because of this we need to find her a good loving home that is able to give her plenty of attention and love. UPDATE: Shady spots just got her updated rabies shot October 11, 2025 have

Story
Leo is a shelter favorite thanks to his simple wish—to be loved. He isn’t too interested in toys; instead, he prefers to spend his energy following his person around, always ready for a butt scratch or a little attention.Leo already knows basic commands, enjoys going for walks, and is excellent on a leash. Because he’s an impressive jumper, he’ll need a securely fenced yard with a fence at least 6 feet tall.This sweet boy would love to be the only pet in the home—no cats, slow intro to other dog(s) please. He will do best with children 12 and older who can respect his space when he wants to nap in the sunshine.Gentle, loyal, and full of quiet charm, Leo is ready to bring love and companionship to his forever family.
