Story
Meet Sweet Pea, the charming pup with a heart of gold! This polite and social girl absolutely loves being around people and other dogs, making her the perfect companion for any family. Her friendly demeanor shines through in every interaction, and she has done wonderfully around children, embracing their energy with joy.
Sweet Pea currently has access to a dog door and has shown remarkable progress in her house training—she’s had no accidents indoors! This happy and curious pup is a fast learner, eager to soak up new experiences and commands. Her easygoing nature makes her a delightful addition to any household.
One of Sweet Pea's favorite pastimes is playing with her beloved stuffed animals, and you’ll often find her happily snuggling with them. Her compassionate spirit and loving personality make her a joy to be around.
Sweet Pea has undergone corrective surgery for a PDA (Patent Ductus Arteriosus), and she’s ready to embrace life to the fullest. With her resilient spirit and affectionate nature, she’s sure to bring endless love and happiness to her forever home.
If you’re looking for a sweet, social, and loving companion who will brighten your days, Sweet Pea is the perfect match for you. Adopt her today and enjoy a lifetime of adventures, cuddles, and cherished moments with your new best friend!
From foster - She’s super sweet and gentle and loves pets and cuddles. When she wants love she’ll sit on your leg and look up at you with her begging eyes and put her chin out so you can rub her neck.
She’s also potty trained and has only had one accident (our fault) since she got here. And she’s a big ball of energy when she’s outside. She loves to run and will tug on her leash a lot. When she’s inside she’s pretty calm and doesn’t do as much. She doesn’t seem to like toys but loves treats.
Sweet Pea was rescued from a high kill shelter in Texas.

Adoption fees include vaccines up until time of adoption, microchip, spay/neuter and 1st 30 days of free Pet insurance. We are not affiliated with Pet First pet insurance. (you have to sign up for the insurance or it will not go into effect). Adoption fees help cover the medical care of the animals while he or she waits for a new home, as well as food and transportation costs. These fees help to provide care for the other animals in the shelter or rescue group who may have medical bills that are much higher than any possible adoption fee. The money also acts as a donation to help support the organization as a whole, allowing the group to continue its efforts to rescue and rehome pets.
The dogs in our care are fostered in Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico. While all dogs are picked up during our scheduled times, sometimes transport dates change due to unforeseen circumstances.

Breed labels are a "best guess" by a shelter veterinarian and cannot be guaranteed.
A new study has concluded that (in layman's terms), breed assumption is NOT indicative of behavior in mixed breed dogs. Therefore, if a dog looks presumably to be a German Shepherd breed, one cannot assume the dog will have a high prey drive. From the study: "Although many physical traits were associated with breeds, behavior was much more variable among individual dogs. In general, physical trait heritability was a greater predictor of breed but was not necessarily a predictor of breed ancestry in mutts. Among behavioral traits, biddability—how well dogs respond to human direction—was the most heritable by breed but varied significantly among individual dogs. Thus, dog breed is generally a poor predictor of individual behavior and should not be used to inform decisions relating to selection of a pet dog" - https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abk0639
