Story
Shadow is a high drive working breed border collie who needs someone with breed experience (preferred). Fulfillment requirements: She will need more than just an hour long walk a day to meet her physical requirements. She currently bikes, hikes, and loves to swim. She is also well versed in carrying a weighted pack on her hikes, which helps her tune into her body and slow her mind. Shes an athletic girl and needs someone to match that lifestyle. Socialbility (Dog preferences): Shadow is dog selective. She would be perfectly fine in a home with no other dogs but would also do ok if she found a home with the right dog for her. No little dogs or other small animals tho. She doesn't enjoy every dog but enjoys most in the proper introductions are taken. She doesn't enjoy chaos with other dogs but loves to partake in structured pack activities. She is NOT a dog park or high-energy daycare type dog. Training: Shes crate trained and sleeps, eats and rests in one daily. Shes highly intelligent and learns quickly. She is well versed in basic obedience cues: sit, down, stand, stay, recall, place, middle, and loose leash walking. She does not enjoy being approached, touched or spoken to by strangers but has increased her thresholds for tolerance by quite a lot. She can navigate public spaces with the proper guidance but is probably never going to be a "coffee shop" dog. Shadow's Adoption fee is $250 and includes spay, microchip and current vaccinations. To fill out an adoption application, visit https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/SSP-A-844 To follow Shadow on her journey to a loving family on SPOT's Facebook page, visit https://facebook.com/spotsavespets/ and on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/spotsavespets/

Story
How Blue arrived: Blue was brought in by his previous owner on November 15, 2025. Why Blue is the one for you:Meet Blue! Blue is an active, adventurous dog who loves getting out and about. As a herding breed, he'll thrive with a family familiar with the needs and quirks of herding dogs. The good news? Much of the training is already done-Blue is both leash-trained and potty-trained. He does well with respectful dogs, though he has no known history with cats. Blue can be a bit protective of spaces he considers important, so his new family should be prepared to help manage this resource-guarding behavior. Because of this, children in the home should be 5 years or older, and they'll need to be present during the meet-and-greet.Blue's heart is in the right place-he just needs a confident, understanding family to guide him. If you're ready to welcome this bright, energetic boy into your life, bring a leash and collar and take Blue home today! At SDHS:Blue has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. Blue is now ready for his new home! Primary Color: Black Dapple Weight: 53.6 Age: 6yrs 6mths 3wks

Story
How this pet arrived: Santana was brought in by Humane Law Enforcement on May 21, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Santana - the smooth, soulful pup who's ready to rock your world! A little shy at first, Santana prefers a slow jam when meeting new people and places. Give him gentle vibes and calm energy, and he'll warm up faster than a guitar solo. This rockstar's heart is won with treats, toys, and a good game of fetch - he'll chase them with the enthusiasm of a lead guitarist hitting the perfect riff! Once Santana knows you, he'll trade his shy act for snuggles, pets, and all the affection he can give. Santana has had doggy friends in care, but a dog-to-dog intro on site is required to ensure he's a good match if you have a current dog in the home. Because he's a sensitive ballad at heart, he'd do best in a home without young kids under 12. With patience, love, and a steady beat, Santana could become your ultimate bandmate, cuddle companion, and best friend for life! Come meet this little rockstar today - he might just steal the spotlight in your heart! At SDHS:Santana has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. He is now ready for his new home! Primary Color: Beige Secondary Color: White Weight: 56.8 Age: 6yrs 2mths 2wks

Story
How this pet arrived: Spicoli was brought in by a community member on November 26, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you: Meet Spicoli! This playful pup cruised into our care as a stray, and we're still getting to know this handsome, bright boy. Spicoli is full of energy and enthusiasm-sometimes a little too much-which can show up as jumpy greetings or strong pulling on leash. With positive-reinforcement training, he learns quickly and loves engaging his busy brain. He can be sensitive with certain types of handling, so partnering with a fear-free veterinarian will help him feel confident during vet visits. Once he warms up, his fun-loving personality shines, especially when treats or activities are involved. Spicoli will thrive with a family who can offer him plenty of mental and physical enrichment. If you're looking for a spirited, trainable companion with a big heart and a bright mind, Spicoli might be your guy. At SDHS:Spicoli has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. Spicoli is now ready for his new home!Excitable Dog: Spicoli requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about them. Primary Color: Red Secondary Color: Tri Color Weight: 49.2 Age: 1yrs 0mths 1wks
