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. She's an athletic girl and needs someone to match that lifestyle. Sociability (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 though. 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: She's crate trained and sleeps, eats and rests in one daily. She's 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.

Story
How this pet arrived:Ivy was brought in by their previous owner on October 7, 2026. Why this pet is the one for you: Meet Ivy! This friendly, energetic girl has two favorite things: playtime and sticking close to her people. She is ready to join the fun-and show off her "sit," "down," and "paw" while she is at it! Ivy is crate trained and has done well with kids. Like most young pups, she will need help with potty training, leash skills and house manners. A consistent routine and a family ready to show her the ropes will help her build on what she already knows. Ivy has seizures and will need ongoing medication, but that does not stop her from being a happy, playful pup with plenty of pep in her step. Our medical team will walk you through her care plan and answer your questions so you feel set up for success. Ready for a playful little shadow? Grab a leash and collar and come meet Ivy! At SDHS:Ivy has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. She is now ready for adoption! Primary Color: Tan Secondary Color: White Weight: 34 Age: 0yrs 6mths 3wks

How this pet arrived:Moira was brought in by a community member on September 5, 2026 . Why this pet is the one for you: Say hello to Moira! This sweet girl brings big bounce and energy to every room. She greets new faces with a wagging tail and a wide grin, ready for play and attention. Moira has left carpal hyperextension in her front leg and needs ongoing care with a vet.

Moira is now ready for adoption! Primary Color: Black Weight: 32.8 Age: 2yrs 2mths 1wks

Story
Honey is 7.5 years old, 75lbs, and 45% German Shepard, 45% Australian Cattle Dog, & 10% other. She's energetic, loving, and very sweet. She loves to play fetch and is very smart, despite thinking she's the size of a lap dog. She prefers to be an only dog (as she gets jealous wanting all the love & kisses to herself), but does get along well with her furbrother, Zeus. She will bark at other dogs on a walk, but is truly just a big baby when she's off leash. She currently lives in a house with a toddler and is great with her. Lastly, she is high energy, so she would not be well suited in an apartment.
