My story

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

How this pet arrived:
This pet was brought in by a community member on Dec 26, 2026.

Why this pet is the one for you:
Meet Turtle, a young, shy dog with a gentle soul. Despite his initial timidity, Turtle gradually opens up, especially when around other canine companions. He has shown that with a bit of patience and love, he can become a loyal and affectionate friend. Turtle is looking for a forever home where he can feel safe and loved, promising to be a devoted companion. His ability to bond with other dogs makes him a great addition to a family with pets. Adopt Turtle and discover the joys of a grateful heart. Due to his fearfulness, small children are not recommended..

At SDHS:
This pet has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed neutered. This pet is now ready for their new home!

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.
