My story

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

How this pet arrived:
This pet was brought in by our Humane Law Enforcement team on May 22, 2025.

Why this pet is the one for you:
Sun is a playful spirit. After experiencing a traumatic evacuation early in her life, she has been building confidence through positive reinforcement and fear-free training. Sun has formed trusting relationships with familiar handlers and enjoys enrichment activities, shaping games, foraging, and settling calmly in her kennel or on a mat. She is a smart, curious girl who learns best when given time, choice, and reassurance.

Sun shows friendly interest in other dogs during calm, managed introductions along a fence line, but due to resource guarding observed in care, she will need to be the only dog in the home. She has no known history with cats or small animals and is best suited for a home with teens 14+ who can understand dog body language and follow adult guidance. Sun can be sensitive to handling and restraint and is still building comfort with walking equipment, so her future family should expect to go slowly and use humane, fear-free methods.

Sun will thrive in a patient, experienced home that uses positive reinforcement and allows her to move at her own pace. A secure, private yard with a 6-foot or higher fence is required so she can safely explore and decompress. She loves high-value treats like cream cheese, cheese, and hot dogs, and food-based enrichment helps her feel confident. With the right home, Sun will continue to grow into a loyal, delightful companion who is ready to feel safe and settled for good.

More about this shelter

San Diego Humane Society, an open-admission shelter, is creating a more humane world by inspiring compassion and advancing the welfare of animals and people. 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.

With campuses in El Cajon, Escondido, Oceanside, Ramona and San Diego, we provide animal services for 14 cities within San Diego County. We not only care for 50,000 animals in our communities but also share the expertise we have gained through our innovative programs with shelters nationwide so they can save more lives in their communities.

While our influence is expanding nationally, our top priority is meeting the needs of San Diego. We provide exceptional care for all animals through world-class veterinary medicine, shelter and most of all: love.
