Sweet with a side of spicy, SWEETPEA over here has a beautifully refreshing personality. One minute she’ll be asking for belly rubs, and the next she’ll be busy with the zoomies… and the next she’ll turn into a sleepyhead. It’s all about the contrast with this one.

When off leash, SWEETPEA is all play, play, play. She enjoys running to her heart’s content and play-wrestling with other scruffs. It’s her version of heaven. Being on a leash and meeting dogs, however, is not her idea of a good time. It typically involves a combo of this usually sweet as honey scruff being vocal and jumping. Continuing to build her confidence on a leash will be key, as is advocating for her and ensuring intros to other dogs are slow and steady.

If there’s one thing we should share about this gal, it’s her love for her humans. You already know she’s an affectionate cuddle monster, but just wait and see! SWEETPEA keeps things interesting, though, and in contrast, shows that she’s shy meeting new people at first, men in particular. Giving her a few extra minutes to adjust in her own sweet time will work wonders.

What her foster family would like to humble-brag about is not only her knowledge of basic commands but also her crate training. This girl is great at settling and is happy to entertain herself and make use of her crate overnight and when her foster family is at work.

In Greek mythology, sweetpeas symbolized eternal life. Nowadays, in the language of flowers, they symbolize lasting friendship. We have no doubt you’ll become BFFs with this girl in no time at all, but first, you have to apply to adopt!
