Need some Diva-tude?

This gorgeous red girl is Diva, an American Pit Bull Terrier mix.

She's young, maybe 1 year old and quite affectionate with people. She likes walks and attention and dogs some zooming in play but she also listens quite well and will sit when asked.


See her preparing to sing? She's a little tense around other dogs and will need further socialization. She'd probably be best as an only dog but we haven't worked much with her yet.

She's a striking girl with those awesome ears and soft eyes. Do you need a girl with some 'tude in your house?

Yabba Dabba Do Adopt Barney Rubble!



Barney here is a handsome and friendly fellow. His grin is a good indication of his easy-going personality.

He's a youngish mix--perhaps a shepherd/terrier of some sort? He likes toys, especially stuffies, and is quite friendly.

We estimate he's about a year old and is on the small to medium size and ready for a home that will invest a little time in training and make him the great family dog he's just waiting to be!

Looking for a Baby Girl?


Meet Baby Girl! She's only been at the SPCA for a few weeks and is already a favorite.

She has a lot of enthusiasm for life and divides her time between toys and attention.

While full of joy, she's very attentive and fairly good on the leash. She listens well and is learning to walk on the leash.

We are still learning about her but she doesn't seem to be too interested in cats and is relatively calm around other dogs.

She deserves a great home that will love her as much as she loves life.

Goof Off with Gumball!

Meet Goofball! We mean, Gumball!


He's one of the longest-term residents of the SPCA, there for over a year! We don't know why because he is handsome as can be a tons of fun.

He's a medium-sized American Pit Bull Terrier boy, probably between 2 and 4 years old.
He is very attentive and has learned to sit on command and come when called (so long as he's not distracted.) He would definitely benefit from some obedience classes but he is a quick learner and food motivated which will make him easier to train.
He's very high energy coming out of the run, which is typical of shelter dogs, and he has a bad habit of tugging on his leash, a problem that will probably resolve quickly when he is out of the shelter and getting regular exercise and attention.

He has played regularly with other dogs and really enjoys romping, though if you have a dog they will have to meet as some dogs just don't click. Gumball really deserves a good home to let him become the great dog he can be! You will never be bored and, as you can see, he's a real ham in front of the camera so you'll never have a shortage of Kodak moments!

Meet the Beast!


Today we are introducing you to a super special dog.

It's BEAST! His name is ironic because it would be hard to find a nicer dog.

See that smile? It never goes away.

Beast was at the SPCA for almost a year before he got adopted. Sadly, he was returned through no fault of his own (unless excessive awesomeness counts). His adopters circumstances changed and they could no longer keep him. But their loss could be your gain.

He's an American Pit Bull Terrier between one and two years old, healthy, and happy-go-lucky. Beast is very friendly with people and dogs and he mostly ignores cats. He loves to play with other dogs and would be the perfect companion for an active person who likes to walk or jog or someone with another dog who needs an exercise companion. He's interacted with smaller dogs, bigger dogs, and dogs his size. He loves to play and get attention but he also can keep himself occupied with toys or just hanging out in the yard.

He could use a little leash work but with plenty of exercise and some tender loving care this Beast could be your Beauty! If we had room we'd take him home ourselves!

Here are some shots of Beast playing with his friend Oscar!
