Story
Boxer mix Female 11 months 26 pounds Coco – Affectionate, Playful Boxer Mix Looking for Her Forever Family Coco is an 11-month-old, 26-lb boxer mix with a big heart and playful spirit. She loves toys, cuddles, and being close to her people. She’s currently being fostered after being rescued from a hospital parking lot in Tijuana, where she was left tied up when her former owner became ill and could no longer care for her. For several days, Coco waited there—gentle, hopeful, and grateful for every bit of attention she received. After getting to know her and seeing how loving she was, we couldn’t leave her behind. Coco was taken to a veterinarian for a full health check, vaccinations, microchipping, and has been thriving in foster care ever since. Coco adores people and bonds quickly. She’s done wonderfully with adults and young children and greets everyone she meets with enthusiasm and affection. She also gets along very well with other dogs and would be especially happy in a home with a canine sibling or people who enjoy playtime, walks, and interactive companionship. She is house-trained, knows to wait to go outside, and is currently learning leash manners. Like many young dogs, she’s still polishing those skills, but she’s eager to learn and responds well to guidance. Coco loves toys—especially chew toys—and while she can entertain herself, her favorite thing is being part of whatever her people are doing. She’s equally happy playing or curling up close for cuddles. Coco is energetic in the best way: playful, curious, and full of joy. She would do well in a home that can provide regular exercise, mental stimulation, and engagement. An apartment can absolutely work for her with an adopter who enjoys getting out for walks, playtime, or other activities to help her burn off her puppy energy. She is healthy, appears to have been well cared for earlier in life, and has no known medical issues. Coco will be spayed prior to adoption. Coco is currently being fostered while we thoughtfully search for the right forever home where she can truly thrive. She is a healthy, loving, and joyful young dog with an incredible capacity for affection and companionship. If you’re looking for a playful, people-loving pup who will bring energy, warmth, and devotion into your life, Coco is ready to meet you and become a cherished part of your family. Please contact Thomas at 619-751-9342 for any adoption inquiries. *PLEASE NOTE: This animal is listed as a courtesy for another organization or private party.

Story
Meet Flurry! This sweet girl was abandoned in a McDonald's parking lot and rescued by a good Samaritan. After a rough start, she is now ready for adoption and looking for her forever home. Flurry has adorable puppy dog eyes that will melt your heart. Her striking black and white markings perfectly compliment those beautiful, expressive eyes. This social butterfly absolutely loves everyone she meets! She is fantastic with kids and gets along great with other dogs, making her a wonderful fit for an active or family home. We expect Flurry to grow into a medium-sized dog. She is likely a pittie mix, but since we don't know anything about her mom or dad, we can only guess! What we do know for sure is that she has a mountain of love to give. If you are looking for a loyal, sweet companion to complete your family, Flurry is waiting for you. Flurry's's adoption fee is $450 and includes her spay, microchip, and current vaccinations.

Story
How this pet arrived:Busterina was brought in by her previous owner on October 6, 2026. Why this pet is the one for you: Ready to leap right into your heart, meet Busterina! This high-energy, fun-loving sweetheart is an absolute people person who thrives on affection and firmly believes she belongs right in your lap for cuddle time. Busterina did well with older children in her previous home, though her zest for life means she can get a bit excitable and jumpy when showing her love and would do best with older, sturdier children. Because she spent her life in one home and is accustomed to outdoor living, she will flourish with a patient adopter who can give her a little extra time and gentle guidance to settle into indoor routines and get comfortable with new faces and surroundings. Due to past conflicts with four-legged roommates, Busterina is looking to be the solo canine star of the household with no cats, ensuring she gets to soak up every ounce of the devotion, play sessions, and snuggle breaks she so happily gives in return! At SDHS:Busterina has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. She is now ready for adoption! Primary Color: Brown Brindle Secondary Color: White Weight: 53.6 Age: 1yrs 1mths 1wks

She'd make a great walking, hiking or running buddy, and likes to play with her dog friends and toys. Emmie would love to go to training classes with her humans, it's a great way to bond and she's a smart girl that loves to learn.
