🐾 Woof Wednesday Spotlight: Meet Choppa! 🐾
Looking for a loyal companion with a big heart and an even bigger smile? 💛 Meet Choppa, a 3-year-old, 52 lb sweetheart who’s just waiting for the right person to come along. He has waited 491 days in the shelter.
Choppa is truly one of a kind. Once he trusts you, his affectionate and loyal nature shines through—and that signature grin? Total heart-melter. 😍
While he has so much love to give, Choppa is selective about who he lets into his world. Because of this, he’s looking for a calm, adult-only home without children. He’ll thrive in a setting where he can take his time, build trust, and continue with gentle, positive training.
He’s not just looking for a home—he’s looking for a bond. The kind of person who’ll meet him where he’s at and walk beside him as he blossoms into the amazing dog we know he can be. 🐶💛
📍 Come meet Choppa at the Humane Society of Marion County. He just might be your perfect match.

🐾 Meet Peaches & Keith Urban 🐾
This adorable duo is a bonded pair looking for a quiet, loving home. At around 6 months old, they’ve grown up together and act like siblings—even if they’re not by blood!
Born feral, Peaches and Keith Urban are still learning how to trust humans, but once they do, they give their whole hearts. They’ll need a patient adopter who understands that love takes time. 🧡
They’d do best in a home without small children, but they’re curious and gentle around polite pups.
Come visit these sweet souls at the Petco Adoption Center and see if you’re the one they’ve been waiting for! 🐱🐱
