Story
How this pet arrived: This pet was brought in by a community member on Jan 17, 2026. Why this pet is the one for you:Buttercup is a very shy, soft-hearted dog who needs a patient and understanding home to truly blossom. She may be reserved at first, but beneath her quiet exterior is a sweet soul who wants nothing more than to feel safe and loved.Buttercup requires gentle handling, slow introductions, and plenty of patience as she builds trust. She takes time to feel confident and comfortable, but once she does, her affection is incredibly special and rewarding. Small victories-like a wagging tail or choosing to sit nearby, mean the world with a dog like Buttercup. . At SDHS:This pet has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. This pet is now ready for their new home! Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: Black Weight: 49 Age: 2yrs 0mths 3wks

Story
Luna is 7 years old and was given to me six years ago by a family who was moving away. She really needs a family who can give her a lot of attention and is willing to play with her often. She is very needy, so maybe a retired couple would be good for her. She loves playing with other dogs, kids, and cats even. She does bark at first when she sees other dogs or if someone knocks at the door. She’s a very sweet girl and knows demands and tricks as well. I’m just looking for a temporary foster home.
