Kid-Friendly Dogs for Adoption in Sioux Falls, SD: 8 Dogs Good with Children

This beautiful girl is Wednesday! She came to us as a puppy and was adopted out but things didn't work out for her there. She and the resident little dog had issues over food and Wednesday became a resource guarder and then aggressive. She does great playing with other dogs but is not ok if food is present. She was born March of 26 so she will be a large dog once she is done growing. She is a total sweetheart though and would love a family that would fall in love with her soft ears, sad puppy dog eyes and gorgeous chocolate fur. She is a mix of lab and hound mostly (we do have her DNA test results). She is energetic, friendly to all, has no issues in the house and had already been trusted to stay out of her kennel without incident. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $350.00

She also had a severely infected uterus that was removed in an emergency surgery at her intake appointment.

She follows her foster mom around like a shadow getting all the head and belly scratches she can get.

Paula from Paullina is a 4-5 year old female mix. Her story before two weeks ago is unknown, but it’s likely she was dumped. Since being picked up by the police she has been in the care of a foster home and has found a new outlook on life.

She has an old leg break that and now healed cause a bit of a limp.

She also had a severely infected uterus that has been removed.

She follows her foster mom around like a shadow getting all the head and belly scratches she can get.

She is currently in a home with other dogs, but does get territorial with food (normal after being dumped or not having consistent access to resources)

She also prefers to be her persons only pet. So a home as an only dog would be wonderful. We can test her with cats if there is a cat friendly home looking for an easy going doggie.

She is house trained, crate trained, and knows sit, shake, lay down.

She’s quite a chill chic and is not considered a ‘high energy’ dog at all. She is content snoring next to or at the feet of her person. If Paula sounds like the perfect fit to your lifestyle check out the application and maybe we can make a match! She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $275.00

This little compact fella is Scooby! He and his fluffy sister (clearly not biological!) Shelby love each other and have so much fun playing together that we are looking for a new forever home that is ready and capable of welcoming them both! Scooby is about 5 years old, very outgoing and energetic. Seems to love everyone and everything but can be a bit of an escape artist (he's naughty like that!) so a fenced yard is best! But the cool thing is that Shelby adores being outside a lot so a fenced yard for her to run and play and then lounge and sunbathe would be ideal indeed! Shelby is about 15 months and a sweet super silly girl that loves people, other dogs and cats. They will be a fantastic duo for the right home. Their mom loved them very much so we are doing our best to get them a wonderful home where they can be happy, safe and loved. Both dogs are fixed, vaccinated and microchipped. Please keep in mind that Shelby will need to have a regular grooming routine. Their combined adoption fee is $500.00

I’m a loving, easygoing senior boy who does well with other small dogs, but big dogs aren’t really my cup of kibble. I prefer my canine friends on the smaller side.

My hearing isn’t what it used to be, so I may have either selective hearing or senior ears. But I can still hear clapping hands and whistles! When my foster mom claps her hands, I come trotting back to the house and I make eye contact with her.

I am absolutely LOVING my foster mom’s big fenced backyard! There are birds, rabbits, and squirrels to watch and hunt, and I take my backyard security duties very seriously.

Because of my age and hearing, I need a securely physically fenced yard to keep me safe. No invisible fences, please.

My wishlist is pretty simple:
A soft, comfy dog bed
Good food
Lots of love
A safe, secure home
A family who understands that senior dogs have so much love left to give

I may be 14, but I still have plenty of life, love, and personality in me. I just need someone willing to give a sweet old guy a place to call home.

Could you be my forever family?

Please share Arnie’s post so we can help this senior boy find the loving forever home he deserves.

Howdy!I'm Arnie I'm a sweet senior boy that is looking for a furever home of my own. I do well with other small dogs, big dogs are not my friends in my book. I have either selective hearing or my hearing just isn't what it used to be anymore. I can hear clapping hands and whistles. I come trotting back to the house when my foster mom claps her hands and I make eye contact with her. I'm loving her big fenced in backyard with lots of birds, rabbits and squirrel to hunt. I do need a securely physically fenced yard to keep me safe. I love a soft dog bed and good food. Can you be my furever home? I am 14 yrs young, I weigh 14 pounds, my adoption fee is $250 plus sales tax $11.25=$261.25

My adoption fee help with my vetting needs such as HW test, rabies, DHPPL, Bordetella, neuter, dental with full mouth extraction and microchipping.

Hi! I'm Nacho or Bruno as my foster mom calls me :) I am a very high energy little guy, I am constantly under your feet to stay involved in any fun stuff happening.
I am a double merle chihuahua which caused a birth defect in my eye, it's call microophthalmic, which means my eye is extra small and non functioning. I was also born hydrocephalic (water on my brain, as well as an open fontanelle (my soft spot on my head did not close so my brain is not fully protected by my skull)
Now that we got that out of the way...... I am a very happy go lucky, highly energetic pup looking for a furever home of my own.
No small children, no older rambunctious children, and no big dogs please as if I got dropped or rolled I could get a serious brain injury.
I do like playing with small dogs my size. Because of my eyesight I do require a physically fenced yard.

Are you a true husky lover? Well meet Atlas! This boy is all Husky! The personality, the howl, the chattiness and the energy! Atlas has been bounced around a lot and his last home left him in pretty rough shape unfortunately. We have been working hard at helping him gain weight and get healthy again. He is very friendly, loves other dogs and people. He might be a bit much for small children but if you have teenagers that would need a running buddy and friend Atlas would like to submit his application! Atlas is 2 years old, neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. He will need continued work on his obedience training. Even though he had been to puppy training when he was younger his most recent owner left him tied to a tree most of the time. Atlas is a sweet guy that needs some consistency (other than a tree!) and to be told he is a good good boy! His adoption fee is $275.00

Howdy! I'm Seymour. I am a very sweet Doxie boy loving life in my foster home. I have just begun my journey to live life as a house pet. I am working on house training, learning to chew on what puppies are supposed to chew on. Wearing a harness and walking on a leash..... that's all new ;) I am learning I now have a name, I still don't listen when my foster mom says "Come, sit or stay" what's that all about ;)

I do need a fenced yard to keep me safe since I don't come when called and I loooooove to run, chase and play with the other dogs in my foster mom's fenced yard. I am shy and need another small dog in the house. When I meet new people I run so my foster mom had to keep a leash attached when in the house and out in the yard so she could catch me.

My adoption fee helps cover all of my vetting needs such as rabies, DHPPL, Bordetella, neuter, dental if needed and microchipping.

This pup is rip roaring ready to go on adventures! Malcolm is confident, even tempered and affectionate. He is going to be a big boy so continued work on obedience so he can grow up well behaved will be important. Malcolm would thrive in a household that wants to do stuff! He gets along fine with other dogs and cats that can stand their own would likely be fine as well. He was part of a litter of pups we had but they and his mom have all moved on. We hope that his black fur is not the thing holding up interest in him because he is very sweet and human oriented boy who wants to give kisses. His high energy will be perfect for someone that wants to go on a run, swim in the lake or play ball in the back yard. Malcolm was born 5/5/26 his adoption fee is $350.00. He is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, de-worming and are microchipped.
