My story

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

"Hey there, I'm Rhinestone! I'm smart, fun, and full of energy - just waiting for a family to call my own. With toys, treats, and a little training, I'll be your best friend for life. Let's shine together!"

Meet Rhinestone! This 11-month-old Pitbull mix is a shining star looking for her forever home. Rhinestone is incredibly smart and loves to show off her problem-solving skills. She's a fan of toys and treats, making playtime and training time a blast. With her athletic build, she's always up for an active adventure and would love a family that enjoys outdoor activities or daily walks-she walks well on a leash!

While Rhinestone is confident and affectionate, she would thrive in a home that is ready to provide her with the training and structure she needs to be the best version of herself. She's ready to learn and grow with a patient owner who can help her tap into her full potential.

If you're looking for a loving and energetic companion, Rhinestone just might be the perfect match for you! Come meet her and see the sparkle she'll bring to your life.

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.
