My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Sweet Tart!

Sweet Tart is a spirited 2-year-old tan and white dog with an energetic personality and a playful streak. She’s ready to find a home where her lively nature can be appreciated and guided.

Sweet Tart does well on a leash once she`s out of the kennel hallway, where she tends to be reactive. In the yard, she can get jumpy and mouthy when overstimulated, but she responds well to corrections and is eager to learn. She loves playing fetch and will even bring the ball back, making her a great companion for active playtime. She also enjoys cooling off by jumping into the pool, showcasing her fun-loving side.

In playgroup, Sweet Tart’s style is “rough and rowdy selective.” She can be playful but occasionally needs muzzle work to manage her behavior and help with suppression. She has some stimulus control issues but is steerable with guidance, showing potential for improvement with consistent training and patience.

Sweet Tart would thrive in an active home that can provide her with plenty of physical and mental stimulation. With her playful nature and willingness to listen, she has the potential to be a loyal and entertaining companion for the right adopter.

More about this shelter

Marion County Animal Services is the largest animal shelter in our county. Operating as a no-kill shelter, our kennels are almost always full. We provide adoption, fostering opportunities, work with rescues, accept volunteers and provide the training for veterinary assisting students. In addition, we run the Neuter Commuter and provide all animal control services in Marion County.
Due to the sheer volume of animals in our care, we need lots of help from our community in our effort to adopt out more and save more!
We don't only accept the ideal animals into our shelter. We can offer you quite the array of animal breeds and personalites! Keep an open mind when visiting our shelter- you may find that your perfect match is not at all what you set out to find.
We're here to help you as well as our homeless and lovable animals.
