Story
Hi there! I’m Matcha! An older shepherd mix, but don’t let my age fool you... I still have plenty of spark in me. My favorite thing in the whole world? Tennis balls! I carry them around proudly like they’re my greatest treasures (because honestly, they are). You’ll often see me trotting around with one in my mouth, tail wagging, showing off my prized possession. But I don`t really want to share, so I`ll just take my tennis balls and lay down, do my own thing. I’ve learned a lot over the years; how to be patient, gentle, and grateful for the little things. I love treats and I’ll give you my best “good dog” eyes every time you open the treat bag. I may be a bit slower now, but I still enjoy a nice game of fetch, a cozy nap afterward, and quiet moments with my favorite humans. I’m loyal, calm, and full of love to give. All I need is a comfy spot to rest, a few tennis balls to call my own, and a person who’ll see the wonderful old soul that I am If you’re looking for a companion who’ll always be by your side I might just be the one for you.

Story
Hi! My name is Rapidash, I`m a quirky boy who would love a safe space and family to help me come out of my shell. When I arrived here I was super shy and scared, as time passed I learned to be less on edge but haven`t made much progress. I recently went into a foster home to help me gain more confidence and learn not to fear my surroundings! I have been slowly showing more of my personality. I am house broken, don`t mind other dogs but prefer to do my own thing and walk well on the leash. Check back in for more updates soon. If you`d like to meet me please submit an adoption application or email: ymota@chulavistaca.gov

Story
Hi there! I’m a lively shepherd who absolutely loves going on long walks! There’s just so much to sniff and explore out there! I get super excited whenever I hear the leash jingling because I know treats and adventure are coming my way. Speaking of treats, I’m a total foodie and always happy to earn a snack or two for being a good pup. When I’m home, you’ll find me chewing on my favorite toys or chasing after them like I’m on a mission. I have been able to make multiple doggy friends my stay here, my favorite time at the shelter is when I get to go out and play with my pup buddies. If you’re up for a fun walk and some playtime, I’m your dog!

I`m Maya!! Thanks for checking me out. I love treats... especially when they’re given just because. I seek out calm, gentle sensory moments where everything feels safe and quiet. I’m looking for an Emotional Support Human to stay close, offer comfort, and remind me I’m not alone. I would very much enjoy tail walks: slow, peaceful outings where I can wander, sniff, and simply exist. Come check me out!

Story
Hi. I’m Reeses Cup. Yes, like the candy. I am just as sweet and maybe a little chaotic. I love people. All people. Your people, my people, people I just met two seconds ago. If you have hands, they are meant to pet me. Attention is my fuel. The more you talk to me, the faster my tail goes. Sometimes I get so excited that my whole body forgets how to walk and I just zoom. I rocket around the room like I’ve been powered by treats and good vibes, sliding on the floor, making sharp turns, living my best life. Speaking of treats... yes. Absolutely yes. Treats are very important to me. I will do sit. I will do down. I will do them fast, slow, dramatic, or extra perfect, just in case that earns me another snack. Being around people makes everything better. Life is exciting, you are exciting, and I am Reeses Cup, and I cannot wait to see what we’re doing next.

Story
I’m Suki, and I’m told I’m the sweetest angel dog you’ll ever meet. I don’t really know what that means... only that people smile a lot when they say it. Whenever I meet someone new, my whole body wiggles with excitement. I just can’t help it. I love everyone instantly, and I’m convinced they love me right back. I’m a very social girl; being around people is my favorite thing in the world. If you stop petting me, I’ll gently nudge your hand to remind you that I’m still here and still very much available for attention. I’ll sit close and look up with my soft eyes until you give in. When it’s time for a walk, I’m all business. I trot along proudly, tail swaying, checking in with you every so often to make sure you’re having as much fun as I am. I’m good on the leash and even better at making friends along the way. Every passerby is a potential new best friend, and I greet them with all the kindness in my heart. I’m Suki, your sweet, social, attention-loving angel. And I can’t wait to meet you.
