Sven's Story

Hi! My name is Sven and I am a happy go lucky big puppy and am about 2 years old. I came to the shelter as a stray on 11-21-25. I love everything and everyone! I take treats gently and am super sweet but am definitely still very puppy-ish. I love to play! I would do great with someone who wants a hiking buddy or someone who wants a friendly dog to take with them places. I like other dogs and would probably do fine with cats. I am learning quickly and already know sit, down and stay and can walk nice on a leash. 3.8.26- This past weekend, Sven was taken to a bowling fundraiser. He did great and he loved saying hi to everyone. He does great in large busy environments and loved to have his belly scratched in the middle of all the doorways. Nobody was getting by without first giving him a pet! He is such a ham. He also did well riding in the car.

Montgomery County SPCA's Adoption Policy

At the Montgomery County SPCA, we are dedicated to finding responsible, forever homes for all the pets in our care. To that end, we have created a thorough adoption process which helps us achieve this goal. This process includes a check of veterinary history records on any pets you currently have, and a home visit. If you rent your home, we require written proof (letter or lease) from your landlord that you are allowed to have pets. We undertake this kind of thorough review to ensure that animals who have already been discarded at least once will never have to experience this again.

Our Mission

The Mission of the Montgomery County SPCA is to provide protection, care and shelter to homeless, abused and neglected animals; and to promote public awareness about spaying and neutering, as well as proper pet care.
