Why this pet is the one for you:
Meet this lovely lady who's all about the calm, cozy side of life. She's easygoing and laid back, happy to relax by your side or enjoy a mellow walk without any fuss. With her gentle nature and go-with-the-flow attitude, she fits right into a low-key household. If you're looking for a sweet, steady companion to share quiet moments and everyday adventures, she could be the perfect match. 🐾

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.
