Story
How this pet arrived:This pet was brought in by a community member on December 22, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Tosco! This sweet guy is ready to be your adventure buddy! Tosco can be a bit reactive in his kennel, but don't let that fool you - he shines once he's out and about. He's been on some outings with volunteers and he's shown us that he walks well on a leash, rides calmly in the car and enjoys sniffing and exploring. He has a generally easygoing demeanor, takes treats gently and gladly accepts pets and attention from new people. Tosco can be a bit selective about his dog friends, but may do well with a calm, respectful canine sibling. If you're looking for a spirited pup to be your loyal companion, Tosco could be your perfect match! At SDHS:This pet has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. This pet is now ready for their new home! Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Tan Weight: 56 Age: 7yrs 2mths 1wks

Tank has been through a lot and needs patience, love, and continued training in a foster or forever home, he needs space to decompress! Meet Tank, a delightful 54 pound pup whose name perfectly captures his affectionate nature! This dude is a bull in a china shop and currently needs slow introductions to new dogs as he comes in hot and still is learning to calm down before initiating proper play with new canine friends. Tank loves his ball! Tank enjoys exploring spacious backyards, leading an active lifestyle, and embarking on new adventures—he’s an excellent car companion and an even better friend. After a day filled with fun, he transforms into a champion sleeper, ensuring your nights are peaceful and cozy. Tank would do best with older kids, he’s a total kangaroo and tends to forget how strong he is! Tank is looking for an experienced dog owner who is very active and is ready to be his drill sergeant with commands and constant activity. He’ll settle down with his ball but he is a very high energy pup who loves to be constantly stimulated with toys and activity. If you’re in search of a loving, adaptable dog ready to become a cherished part of your life, Tank is eager to win your heart!
