Spanky's Story

Hello there, I'm Spanky--a 3-year-old, 51 pound, Great Pyrenees and Staffordshire Bull Terrier mix with a mostly white coat and some rather handsome golden-tan spots, if I do say so myself. 🤍🐾 I'm known around here for being extremely sweet and for giving the very best hugs. Truly, if affection were a job, I'd be employee of the month.<br/><br/>I'm what they call a Velcro dog--I feel happiest when I'm right by my people. I love to lean into you, sit on your feet, and stay close at all times. It's my way of saying, "You're my person," and as a bonus, I'm excellent at keeping toes warm in the winter. ❄️😊 I enjoy squeaky toys, and I will never say no to a yummy treat offered with kindness.<br/><br/>I'm a polite fellow with good manners. I know how to sit and give a paw, and I walk nicely on a leash. New places can make me a little nervous at first, so I appreciate patience and gentle encouragement--but once I realize I'm safe, my playful, loving personality really shines and I'm ready to enjoy myself fully.<br/><br/>I get along well with other dogs and I know how to use a doggie door. Since I came in as a stray, my humans can't promise I'm 100% house-trained just yet, but I do all my business outside in the kennel yard or on walks, so I'm clearly on the right track. With a consistent routine, I know I'll do just fine.<br/><br/>I'm ready for my forever home--one filled with love, reassurance, and lots of together time. If you're looking for a loyal companion who will stick by your side and fill your days with warmth and affection, I'd be honored to be your Spanky. 🐶💛 You can also call the shelter at 479-394-5682 to find out more about me.<br/>****************<br/>All animals at HSO are current on their vaccinations and will be spayed/neutered prior to adoption. If not already spayed/neutered, there may be a short delay between when you select this pet and when they are ready to go home.<br/><br/>Breed and age are determined based on observable physical traits. Actual lineage and birth date are rarely known.<br/><br/>Adoption Fees:<br/>-$60 for cats<br/>-$60 for dogs over 6 years<br/>-$80 for dogs 6 months old to 6 years<br/>-$100 for puppies up to 6 months<br/><br/>Come visit our pets Tuesday-Saturday, 10am-2pm.
