Hey there, human! I'm Goonie, and I'm here to steal your heart (and maybe a few socks). I've got a funny-shaped body that's perfect for cuddling and a coat that looks like I'm always wearing my favorite fuzzy socks! How cool is that?
I'm a social butterfly who loves all the attention I can get. Belly rubs? Yes, please! And if you've got stuffed toys, you're definitely my new best friend. I could play with them all day, giving them gentle hugs and maybe a playful nibble or two!
I've been hanging out with another dog here at the shelter, and we get along great! So if you've got a furry friend at home, I'd love to meet them. Let's have a playdate!
If you're looking for a pup with personality, laughter, and a little extra love to give, I'm your guy! Come on down and let's see if we're meant to be! Can't wait to meet you!

Additional adoption info
Our shelter is a stray facility, which means the animals we shelter have been lost or have been abandoned. These animals have been rescued by Animal Services Officers and citizens who have been unable to locate an owner.
Based on Utah state law, we must hold every animal for at least five days to give the owner an opportunity to redeem their lost pet. If the pet is not claimed during that time, and the animal is healthy and friendly, it will become available for adoption.
During COVID-19, our shelter is only open by appointment only. Please contact adoptions@slco.org to coordinate a time to meet a pet.
Adoptions are offered during our operating hours Monday through Saturday from 10:00 AM through 6:00 PM. Potential adopters should plan for some time to meet with their new pet before starting the adoption process. Please plan to be at the shelter before 5:30 PM to meet with a new pet.
