Jam out with Jammin' Mugs!

This handsome guy is Jammin' Mugs! It's a big name for a dog with a big personality and great looks. He's a compact American Pit Bull Terrier mix with a big head and heart.

It's hard to capture Mugs' personality in photos, he's a goofball who loves any sort of human attention he can get and wiggles with excitement when anyone visits his run.

When he goes for walks his hind end moves faster than his front end and he winds up walking sideways.

Mugs was turned in by his owner who said he was good with other dogs but at the SPCA he has not been very good around other dogs. He'd fit in great as an only dog for someone who wants a walking companion who will always be happy when you come home.

He wanted us to include this artsy photo of him looking extra handsome. Come meet this staff favorite and see if he'd fit in at your house!

Time for Tyler!

Meet Tyler! He's a young, male friendly American Pit Bull Terrier mix.

He is also the inventor of a perpetual motion machine--his tail! He never stops wagging it!

Tyler is a super-fun kid who likes to run, play, and meet new people. He's very friendly in the kennel and very curious outside.

He likes to run in circles and will run faster when you laugh at him. His ears go up and down and he perks them up when you talk to him. He's on the smaller side for his breed and would make a great companion or someone looking for a medium sized dog with lots of enthusiasm for life.

Meet Bud Lite!

This little wiggly bundle of energy is Bud Lite, named that not for his drinking habits but because he looks like another APBT at the shelter named Bud. He is a very friendly American Pit Bull Terrier with a beautiful orange/red coat. He likes to get attention and even more he loves to play!

Bud Lite is a clown and has never met a toy he didn't want to play with.

He's a very fun dog who would make a great companion for someone who loves a playful, energetic dog.

Do you need a friend who never stops smiling?

Meet Emilee!

Emilee is a young American Pit Bull Terrier mix. She is on the small side for the breed and has a thin build. Here she is outside crawling on top of one of our volunteers. When she was out with two volunteers and couldn't decide whose lap she wanted to be in, she just got in both laps!

Emilee is a friendly girl who is always excited to go outside and once she calms down a bit she's pretty good on a leash. She loves toys and would be great in a home where her abundant affection is returned with attention and some stuffy toys.

Emilee is a great dog waiting for a new family.

Meet Blueberry!

This happy girl is blueberry, a younger American Pit Bull Terrier Mix. She seems on the young side and her small size and stout shape may mean she has a little hound in her. Who knows. Her best feature is her giant grin!

She is very quiet and even a little shy but she's as sweet as a blueberry. But when she's outside she knows how to cut loose and have a good time.

She loves to play and get affection and can be a real show off when she gets going playing. She seems like a wonderful dog who is waiting for the right family to take her in and help her open up and enjoy life. See that tail wagging, just waiting for you?

Hap-paw Thanksgiving!

I'm Otis, a proud graduate of the Delaware SPCA and I wanted to take a moment in this blog to share with you what I'm thankful for on this pawliday!

• I'm thankful for the wonderful staff at the SPCA who works hard every day to make sure the dogs and cats are comfortable and happy and work tirelessly to find us new homes.
• I am thankful for the many volunteers to take a few hours out of their day to help out, and especially our volunteer coordinator Kelly who works really hard for peoples and dogs.
• I am thankful for shelter staff and management who have worked hard to save as many animals as they can, even guys like me who were old and sick when we came into the shelter. I have to give special thanks to Jack who always gives us big heads some extra love and Bonnie who gives special care to the older dogs.
• I am thankful for the new Delaware law that improves shelter standards and works toward reducing euthanasia.
• Thank you to vets. Even though you poke and prod us we know it's good for us.
• Thank you to everyone who has been adopted by a shelter pet.
• I am especially thankful for my thanksgiving dinner. Let's eat!

Meet Eve

Whoa! Meet Eve! Up close and pawsonal!

She's a gorgeous and goofy girl who loves to run. She's an American Pit Bull Terrier on the larger side. She loves getting attention and going for a good romp. She loves to run and play but doesn't seem to know how to play with toys yet.

She is not good with cats and is very strong and in need of leash manners. She'd make a great home for someone, especially with breed experience, who wants a dog to go running with them or for long walks. With some attention, obedience classes, and plenty of exercise she will make someone a great companion.
