Story
Prince Apollo is 1 year old, his birthdate is March 7, 2025. He is all black with a white patch of his chest, and he is a fluffy guy! We would love to keep him but he is a big boy and we do not have the space nor the time to properly train him and give him the life he deserves. We want him to have owners that are able to take him outside more, have more room (preferably land for him to run around on) and pay the proper attention to him that we are not able to. We got him when he was only 4 weeks old (which is too young to be separated from his mom an siblings) and we think this may have cause separation anxiety for him. He loves cuddles, to play and run around, and he melts for belly rubs. He is a foodie but also has a sensitive stomach so moderation is key. Always fade in and out new foods! I pray he finds a family that loves him and is able to do all the things my husband and I didn’t know how to do! Thank you for reading !

Story
Meet beautiful Zoey! She’s a young, energetic pup who would love to be your playtime partner. This sweet girl thrives on attention and being part of the action. Still very much a puppy, Zoey is looking for a family ready to show her the ropes and continue her training. Because she loves engagement and positive interaction, she’d likely do great in puppy classes where she can build confidence, learn good manners, and practice socializing with other dogs. She may need a little warm-up time with new dogs, but with guidance and positive experiences, she’ll continue to grow. ##2669132##

Story
Lamoe (Moe) is a spayed female Shepherd mix, about 62 lbs, with beautiful black-and-tan coloring, white toes, a white chest, and softly brindled legs and face. Crate trained (comes with her crate), and has rattle snake avoidance training. Moe is the mellow soul of her siblings. She’s calm, gentle, and incredibly sweet — the kind of dog who’s happiest curled up beside you on the couch, soaking up quiet companionship. When Moe wants affection, she politely comes and sits in front of you, patiently asking for pets. She’s affectionate without being demanding and has a naturally easygoing, thoughtful presence that makes her a joy to have around. Moe is highly food-motivated, which makes her very easy to train. She’s smart, eager to please, and responds quickly to consistency and positive reinforcement. With normal household food management (as most dogs require), she thrives. Moe is truly kind-hearted, loving, and steady, and she’s ready to be someone’s sidekick and loyal best friend.

Story
About 60 lbs, with a gorgeous, ultra-soft black and golden-brown sable coat. Crate trained and rattlesnake avoidance trained. Buddy always has a smile on his face. With the sweetest little waddle, which only adds to his charm, we lovingly call him our surfer dude because of his laid-back nature taking life as it comes and happily bouncing beside you. He lives for affection. Belly rubs, pets, and cuddles are his favorite, and he bonds deeply with people who offer him gentle attention and reassurance. Buddy, a sensitive, thoughtful dog who appreciates a slow, kind approach to new situations, is the type who likes to take his time; checking out a new environment or deciding if a treat is good enough to eat. Accustomed to rural living, he'd appreciate an adopter who understands that adjusting to leash walks and busier surroundings can take time; and who sees that process as part of building trust, not a setback. With love and kindness, he will become your true best friend.

Story
How this pet arrived:This pet was brought in by a community member on December 22, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Tosco! This sweet guy is ready to be your adventure buddy! Tosco can be a bit reactive in his kennel, but don't let that fool you - he shines once he's out and about. He's been on some outings with volunteers and he's shown us that he walks well on a leash, rides calmly in the car and enjoys sniffing and exploring. He has a generally easygoing demeanor, takes treats gently and gladly accepts pets and attention from new people. Tosco can be a bit selective about his dog friends, but may do well with a calm, respectful canine sibling. If you're looking for a spirited pup to be your loyal companion, Tosco could be your perfect match! At SDHS:This pet has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. This pet is now ready for their new home! Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Tan Weight: 56 Age: 7yrs 2mths 1wks
