Story
How this pet arrived: Black Bear was brought in by a community member on August 15, 2025.Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Black Bear! This gentle soul is a shy kitty who will need a patient adopter willing to provide him with a safe, quiet space to adjust at his own pace. Once he feels comfortable, he loves receiving back rubs and paw massages. He is a very sweet boy who will gently ask for pets and make biscuits when he's extra happy. Black Bear is blind and has no teeth, so he will do best in a calm home where his environment stays consistent. He is also living with kidney disease, so his future family should be prepared to monitor his lab work and keep an eye on any changes in his health with the help of their veterinarian. Black Bear may have some special needs, but he has plenty of love and affection to share! If you're ready to open your heart and home to this sweet boy, he's sure to reward you with loyal companionship. Come on in to learn more about him today! At SDHS:Black Bear has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. He is now ready for his new home! Primary Color: Black Weight: 8.41 Age: 10yrs 4mths 2wks

How this pet arrived:Bonnie was brought in by their previous owner on October 12, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Bonnie, a sweet and gentle feline in search of a loving new home! Bonnie can be a bit shy with new faces and places, and appreciates some time to open up at her own pace. With a patient approach (and the help of some tasty treats), her sweet personality will blossom. Bonnie has a positive history of living with children but will benefit from a calm, lower-traffic home where she has a cozy space to retreat to if she feels overwhelmed. Adopting Bonnie means giving her a chance to feel safe and loved, and to share her gentle, loving nature. Inquire about her today! At SDHS:Bonnie has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. Bonnie is now ready for her new home! Primary Color: Blue Secondary Color: White Weight: 6.075 Age: 1yrs 2mths 4wks
