Story
Xena is an amazing dog! She unfortunately was abandoned by a friend with a substance abusive problem. Being that I’m a single mom of three children I cannot give her the time she deserves or I would keep her in a second. She is a Shepard mix and therefore needs exercise and someone who has experience working with Shepard dogs and has time to run or walk with her. She is a snuggle bug and loves to cuddle. She LOVES kids but she is big and strong and not always aware of her size. She would make an amazing running buddy as she is incredibly fast and athletic. She is very smart and gets along with most dogs but definitely wants to be the one in charge. Not good with small animals such as cats.

Story
How this pet arrived: This pet was brought in by his previous owner. At SDHS:This pet has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed/neutered. This pet is now ready for their new home! Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Buzzard! This sweet handsome guy just gets so excited to be out and about! He needs a new home that can provide lots of structure, support and enrichment to handle his sometimes overexcited behavior. He tends to be neutral/avoidant with dogs and he doesn't have any history with cats. We recommend that any children in the household be at least 10 years of age, can understand consent petting (pat, pet, pause) and that there is strong supervision with Buzzard when the children are present. If you're the one for Buzzard, please visit our Escondido campus! Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Brown Brindle Weight: 38.2 Age: 2yrs 7mths 3wks

Story
How this pet arrived:Kiara was brought in by a community member on February 14, 2024. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Kiara, a charming canine who found her way to us as a stray. While her past remains unknown, one thing is clear: Kiara is a dog who enjoys human connection. She's a social butterfly who adores attention, happily resting her head on your lap for pets. However, Kiara can be reactive towards other dogs, so she's seeking a forever home where she can reign as the sole furry companion. Her exuberance sometimes translates into jumps of excitement, so a household without young children would be ideal. Nevertheless, Kiara's zest for life is infectious -she loves to frolic and play fetch, and she's a smart girl who will sit for treats and can't wait to learn more tricks! If you're ready for a loyal friend to share your adventures, Kiara is waiting to join your family and fill your life with joy! Come ask about adopting her today!

Story
How this pet arrived: This pet was brought in by a community member on March 12, 2024. At SDHS:This pet has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed/neutered. This pet is now ready for their new home! Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Clydale Ruffin, a lively, adult canine who's always ready for a fun game of fetch. His boundless energy makes him a perfect companion for active individuals or families with older children (14+). However, Clydale is working on his impulse control and dog reactivity, which means he would thrive best in a home where he can be the only pet. Despite these challenges, Clydale Ruffin's spirit remains undeterred. His enthusiasm for life is infectious, making every day an adventure. He's eagerly waiting for a family who can provide him with the love, care, and patience he deserves. Adopt Clydale Ruffin and bring home a bundle of joy and energy that will fill your life with unforgettable moments! Primary Color: Brindle Secondary Color: Brown Weight: 41 Age: 0yrs 9mths 4wks

Gorgeous 16 week old male puppy Dillon is ready for his loving forever family. Dillon is an amazingly behaved puppy that is sweet with everyone he meets and is super sweet with children. He was rescued from a hoarding situation and arrived super thin and only weighed 13 1:2 pounds. He’s eating well, sleeps in his crate the whole night through and is potty trained when he has access to the yard. He’s incredibly smart, intuitive, alert and wants to please you and love you unconditionally. Dillon will be an amazing addition to any loving family looking for a handsome shepherd mix puppy. Dillon is neutered, microchipped, received his comprehensive fecal test, wellness exam and rabies vaccination. He’s also had two rounds of puppy boosters and only needs one more in 3 weeks. He is an absolute gem of a puppy that deserves his happily ever after.
