My story

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

Meet Turmeric! Turmeric is an 8-month-old sweetheart with a playful spirit and a gentle heart. He can be a bit shy at first, especially in new places, but once he feels comfortable, his silly and affectionate personality starts to shine. Turmeric loves playing with toys and spending time with his favorite people. He's still learning the ropes when it comes to walking on a leash, but with a little patience and positive reinforcement, he’s sure to get the hang of it. If you're looking for a sweet and playful companion, Turmeric could be the perfect match!

Personality: Sweet, playful, goofy, a little shy at first

Leash Manners: Still learning the ropes, but eager to please

Favorite Activities: Playing with toys, exploring, running around outside

Training: Woking on basic commands like “sit”

Volunteer Notes:

“Very excited & loved toys!”

“Very sweet!!”

“Shy, but so loving and sweet!”

*Just a heads up, the way dogs behave here at the shelter might not be exactly how they act in a home environment. Dog behavior can change once they find their forever family. These are just our observations from their time at the SPCA of SWMI.*

Additional adoption info

Adopting an animal is a long term commitment and is therefore a serious decision which should be given ample consideration. A furry companion is a delight, but make sure that you understand the obligation of ownership as well.

Do you know how much yearly vet visits cost - and food, and toys? The ASPCA estimates the annual cost of a large dog to be $780, and a cat is $575. Of course the monetary commitment fluctuates somewhat depending on an animal's size and specific medical needs, but we can guarantee that you will be spending a significant amount on him each year. Do you have time to exercise with your pet? Some dogs have more energy than others, but most would benefit from daily walks. Even cats are better off when their owners are able to set aside daily time for play. Make sure you can give a pet the attention he craves and deserves.
