My story

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

How this pet arrived:
Popeye was brought in by a community member on August 19, 2025.

Why this pet is the one for you:
Ahoy, Matey! Meet Popeye! This salty little sailor is ready to drop anchor into your home! Popeye's spent most of his life as an outdoor adventurer, so he's still learning the ropes of indoor living - but with a steady captain by his side, he'll be shipshape in no time. This spirited sailor prefers to keep his treasures (like food and toys) close, so his crew will need to be over the age of 10 and help him feel safe by trading items and keeping high-value booty tucked away. He can also display some reactivity towards other dogs, so he's best kept away from dog parks and off-leash voyages. If you do have another pup or older children in the home, make sure to bring them along to meet prior to adopting. With a bit of structure, patience and treats, Popeye will be the best first mate you could ask for. Don't forget to bring a leash and collar for a safe transport home!

At SDHS:
Popeye has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. He is now ready for his new home!

Our lifesaving safety net has helped San Diego become the largest city in the U.S. to keep healthy and treatable shelter animals from being euthanized. We are a private, independent, nonprofit organization that is not affiliated with any other humane society or society for the prevention of cruelty to animals.
