Story
How this pet arrived:Maumau was brought in by a community member on June 27, 2026. Why this pet is the one for you: Meet Maumau, a delightfully quirky and sensitive sweetheart who is ready to welcome that special someone into her inner circle! A true homebody at heart, Maumau adores cozy evenings in, predictable routines, and the finer things in life-especially delicious snacks and the softest lounging spots. She shines brightest as the solo star of the household, making her an ideal companion if you are looking for a devoted one-and-only dog (although she has made dog friends when out and about). As a refined lady who values her personal space, Maumau loves saying hello at her own gentle pace before deciding it is time for affectionate head scritches. Her dream match is an experienced adopter in a calm environment with older kids (12+) who appreciate quiet backyard sniff-fests and understand doggy body language. If you believe in the magic of a slow-and-steady bond, Maumau is ready to show you just how sweet life can be when taken one paw-step at a time! At SDHS:Maumau has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. She is now ready for adoption! Shy/Fearful Dog: Maumau requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about her. Primary Color: Cream Secondary Color: Tan Weight: 29 Age: 5yrs 3mths 1wks

Story
How this pet arrived:Jude was brought in by his previous owner on June 3, 2026. Why this pet is the one for you:Everyone will be saying "Hey Jude!" when you bring this fluffy boy around. Jude is a delightful guy that has the goofiest personality you could imagine. Not everyone gets to see this goofball in action but give him time and you will find yourself laughing up a storm at his silly antics. He believes he may have some of those cat genes in him because he cannot resist a tiny toy or rubbing his body against your knees for some attention. Jude even likes to keep the company of cats if you have one. He can also be a friend to dogs but he prefers they be on the mellow side. As luscious as Jude's coat is, he does have some hesitations about grooming and will need someone to help him build up his confidence and comfort for future grooming needs. This boy would love a home that doesn't have young children or too much commotion. He prefers to have a small group of close knit friends rather than being a social butterfly. Jude has a way of making everyone he meets smile, even if it is just seeing from afar his little butt shimmy or his goofy smiling face. If you think this boy sounds like your next best friend, come visit today! At SDHS:Jude has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. He is now ready for adoption! Shy/Fearful Dog: Jude requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about him. Primary Color: Tan Weight: 51.2 Age: 4yrs 5mths 0wks

How this pet arrived: Walterini was brought in by our Humane Law Enforcement team on February 26, 2026. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet, Walterini, a sweet and sensitive pup looking for a loving home! He can be a bit unsure at first when meeting new people and appreciates a gentle introduction to help him feel at ease. In the time he has spent in our care, Walterini has shown that he thrives with a patient approach and a predictable routine. He enjoys leisurely walks that include plenty of sniffing, and is a big fan of yummy treats! Walterini can be sensitive to certain types of handling, so he'll thrive best in a home without young children (under 6) where his boundaries can be respected. He is looking for a household that can offer him the steady encouragement he needs to build his confidence. Walterini has done well with other dog friends, but does best with respectful, calm dogs. Walterini is a sweet, well-mannered pup who is looking for a family to share his love and affection. Walterini would make a wonderful addition to a loving home looking for a loyal and loving companion. Come meet him today! At SDHS:Walterini has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. Walterini is now ready for his new home!Shy/Fearful Dog: This pet requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about them.
