How this pet arrived:Bowie was brought in by his previous owner on July 1, 2026. Why Bowie is the one for you: Say hello to Bowie! This wonderful pup is ready to find a home where he can truly shine. Bowie is potty trained, affectionate, and loves people! He enjoys being pet all over, loves to play, and also appreciates a good nap (after some fun). Smart, active, and eager to learn, he thrives with a mix of daily physical exercise and mental enrichment. Bowie may be a bit reactive towards other dogs when out and about, but has done well with other dogs when introduced appropriately. He may do best in a home without cats or other small critters, as he hasn't quite learned how to play appropriately with them. Bowie can't wait to find a family who he can bond with! If you'd like to meet Bowie, speak with our team today! At SDHS:Bowie has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. He is now ready for adoption!

Luna is a sweet 7-year-old mixed breed girl who is as low-maintenance as they come. She’s spayed, fully vaccinated, housebroken, and in great health — no illnesses or allergies to speak of.What makes Luna special is her gentle, even temperament. She loves people of all ages, from kids to adults, and has a calm, quiet presence that makes her a natural fit for almost any home. She’s not demanding — just genuinely happy to be part of the family.Luna is the kind of dog who settles in, asks for little, and gives back a lot. If you’re looking for a loyal, easygoing companion, she might be exactly who you’ve been waiting for.

Story
Brixton is an adventurous, fun, affectionate and a follow-you-everywhere kind of dog. He's very athletic and would make a great running or family companion. Brixton is great at fetch and he will bring whatever you throw right back and put it in your hand! He can ride on a Seadoo and in an off-road vehicle and he loves to camp! He’s great on long car rides and hikes too. He's smart, fast and strong but will cuddle up like a big baby. He knows many commands such as sit, stay, wait, come, shake, rollover and he’s a fast learner. He LOVES people and is super playful with certain dogs but can be selective with others. However, he's not fond of small dogs or cats. Brixton is looking for an athletic companion or an active family. He will make a lovable and fun addition to your family!

How this pet arrived:Crab was brought in by a community member on June 9, 2026. Why this Crab is the one for you:Meet Crab! Don't let the name fool you-Crab is anything but crabby! This sweet girl may be shy at first and likes to open up at her own pace, but with a little patience, she's sure to claw her way into your heart. Crab is looking for a calm, quiet home where she can feel safe and thrive. She may do best with another friendly dog around her size to help build her confidence. If there are children in the home, they must be 10 years or older and present for the meet-and-greet. Crab isn't a fan of busy venues-she'd much rather enjoy the simple things in life with someone who'll love her just as she is. She's shore to make a wonderful companion! At SDHS:Crab has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. She is now ready for adoption! Shy/Fearful Dog: Crab requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about her.

How this pet arrived: Jovan was brought in by a community member on October 2, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you:Jovan is a distinguished senior gentleman and a true gentle giant. He came to us as a stray, so we don't know much about his past - but what we do know is that he adores calm spaces, cozy naps and sunbathing like it's an art form. He loves being pet and will happily lean in for all the affection you're willing to give. He's done well interacting with other pups in our care and seems to be potty-trained. Like many seniors, he's shown some possible signs of arthritis in our care, but nothing gets in the way of his ability to appreciate the simple joys in life. Jovan is looking for a peaceful home where he can take things slow, soak up the sunshine and be your loyal, low-key companion. If you've got a sunny spot and a soft bed, Jovan is ready to settle in and steal your heart. At SDHS:Jovan has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. He is now ready for his new home!Jovan has been chosen as an Employee Pick! To see what makes him extra special click here.

Story
Meet Max Max is an XL Bully with an even bigger heart. After being surrendered and left at a high-intake shelter, Max got a second chance and has been thriving in foster care. This handsome boy is happiest lounging beside his people as a professional couch potato, but he also enjoys daily walks and exploring the neighborhood. He’s currently working on his leash manners, especially when squirrels and rabbits make an appearance. While he loves meeting new people, Max does best in quieter environments and isn’t the type of dog who enjoys busy, crowded outings or high-traffic areas. Neighborhood walks and visitors coming to the home are much more his style. Max lives comfortably with larger dogs and enjoys canine companionship, though his social skills can be a little awkward at times. He tends to come in enthusiastically and may skip formal introductions if another dog is excited. He matches the energy of those around him and would do best with calm, dog-savvy companions and slow, supervised introductions. He may also be able to live with a smaller dog given proper introductions and management. Once he’s familiar with another dog, he’s generally happy to coexist. He’s truly just a lovable bulldozer who sometimes lacks awareness of his size and social etiquette. Despite his large stature, Max is a lower-energy dog who could thrive in either an apartment or a home with a yard, as long as he receives regular exercise and quality time with his family. He’s great in the car, at the vet, and at home. Max absolutely adores people and is always excited to make new friends. He would make a wonderful family companion, though due to his size, enthusiasm, and occasional clumsiness, he would do best in a home with children ages 10 and up. His large head and puppy-at-heart personality can sometimes lead to accidental bumps and knockdowns. Because of his past, Max experiences some mild separation anxiety and will benefit from a family willing to provide structure, consistency, and reassurance. In return, he’ll reward you with endless affection, loyalty, and companionship. If you’re looking for a sweet, goofy best friend who loves people, enjoys making new friends, and is happiest spending time with his family, Max may be the perfect match for you. Please note: Max is best suited for a home with children 10 years and older. He is not a “take him everywhere” dog and prefers a more predictable lifestyle over busy public outings. https://www.underdogheroes.org/applytoadopt
