Story
How this pet arrived:This pet was brought in by a community member on February 17, 2026. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Fluffy, a sweet and gentle pup looking for a loving new home! Fluffy can be a bit shy with new faces and spaces and appreciates some extra time to build trust. She has shown discomfort with certain types of handling and will benefit from a home where her boundaries can be respected. Once she feels comfortable, she blossoms into an affectionate, calm companion. The best way to help her warm up is to give her the space she needs and let her approach you at her own pace. Because of Fluffy's shy nature, she may thrive best in a lower-traffic household. She enjoys going on walks and exploring new places when she becomes comfortable with her new family. If you're ready to give Fluffy the love and care she deserves, speak to an adoption counselor to learn more today! At SDHS:This pet has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed/neutered. This pet is now ready for adoption! Primary Color: Mahogany Weight: 36.4 Age: 3yrs 0mths 3wks

Story
Scarlet, like most of our dogs started running scared from everyone.  She had been seen repeatedly returning to a dog park as if she had been dumped there.  Multiple attempts by people and animal control to catch her had failed with several resulting with her on the nearby freeway before we got the call to help catch her.  She had already been "out" for days and although had a pattern was being chased so covering ground, making trapping hard.  We went with our gut and set at the park where she always seemed to return.  It did the trick and she was safe.  Sadly, as expected no one came forward to claim or pick her up.  She was scared, guarded and true to her primary breed (chow) not the best communicator.  We took things slow, gave her space and time.  She softened up and began to glow.  The big suprise came when she showed us she knows sit, down, shake and even roll over.  What happened and where were her people?    In their absence all we could do was build on what she already knew and start to expand her circle to include strangers and the scary world.  It has taken time but she now approaches people for food, welcomes affection from stangers and her eagerness to interact and please those she knows is irresistable.  She is extremely food motivated, wicked smart and eager to please.  She is balanced with dogs big or small.  Her house training is a work in progrees but getting better.  She is still relatively new to us but her progress has been amazing,  She is starting to show off her playful and silly side.  If you think you don't have the time or ability for a lifetime commitment but enjoy a dog she could really grow best while in foster.  If you enjoy the journey of watching a dog grow and slowly evolve this girl is the one for you. Because of my Flight Risk I cannot be left unattended in a yard, crate training is a must when you are gone, tight grip on the leash is a must on adventures and my new family must be aware of open doors and windows.  NO offleash activities in unfenced areas for life.

Story
Their story began on the side of the road. Mama was found alone, frightened, and miraculously alive — and pregnant. Against every odd, she survived… and soon after, she gave birth to this precious litter. We named the puppies after bears, because like their mama, they are strong, resilient, and meant to survive. These babies are: ✨ Safe ✨ Healthy ✨ Thriving ✨ And ridiculously adorable They are being lovingly cared for and will be looking for homes that understand that rescue puppies come with a story — one of survival, second chances, and love. From tragedy came magic. And these little bears are ready to continue that journey. 🐾💛
