Story
Letti is a sweet, loyal girl who loves being near her people — whether she’s napping nearby or happily chewing on her favorite toy. She’s a cuddle bug at heart and is always ready to snuggle up on the couch or ask for some one-on-one attention (sometimes a little enthusiastically!).Letti enjoys spending time outdoors, especially chasing leaves and exploring the yard. She can be a bit shy on walks, so a patient adopter with treats and a secure harness will help her build confidence.She’s a smart girl who responds well to redirection and enjoys training sessions — they’re a great way to engage her curious mind and strengthen your bond. Letti does best with slow introductions to new people and dogs and will thrive with someone who understands her need to feel safe and secure.While confinement isn’t her favorite, Letti does well when given a comfy space and the freedom to relax. She’s learning that being alone is okay and shows her gentle, loyal nature by waiting patiently for her person to come home.Letti is a loving companion who will blossom with a dog-savvy adopter ready to give her the structure, understanding, and affection she deserves. Once she trusts you, she’ll be your devoted shadow — always close by, ready to love and be loved.Interested in adopting this dog?

Story
Resin is in a foster home. If you would like to meet him, please start by visiting www.sccrescue.org and completing an application.Resin is a truly special dog with a heart full of love. He’s what many would call a “velcro dog,” happiest when he’s right by your side and soaking up all the attention he can get. Around 11 years old, he loves being touched, is calm and affectionate, and has a gentle, kind nature that makes him an easy companion to have around. Resin is also fully house trained and settles into a routine quickly.In his foster home, Resin does well overall in his crate (he may take a few minutes to settle) and rarely barks. He’s content lounging on the couch when you’re home and relaxes easily. While he’s still learning basic commands, he’s eager to please and thrives on being close to his person. On walks, he does best with a harness since he’s strong, and he may chase small animals if given the chance.Resin would do best in a calm, loving home where he can feel safe and secure. He can be sensitive to raised voices and may shut down if there’s yelling, so a patient, gentle environment will help him shine. With his incredibly sweet and loyal personality, Resin is the kind of dog who will quickly become a devoted best friend.We love our dogs. We want happy lives for all of them and are looking for the home that provides the best fit for each dog’s individual needs. Please understand that there may be multiple families interested in this dog. Also, please know that the breed mix listed is simply a guess. In most cases, we don’t know their background.

Story
Jordan Michael is currently in a foster home. If you would like to meet him, please start by visiting www.sccrescue.org and completing an application.Jordan Michael is a little spark of curiosity wrapped in a soft, fuzzy black coat. This feisty boy is always ready to investigate the world with his nose leading the way—whether that’s exploring new spaces or joining in on a lively round of puppy play. He’s social, confident with other dogs, and brings just the right amount of playful mischief to keep things fun.He’s already showing great instincts and structure for his age—keeping to a routine, settling well overnight, and communicating his needs with a bit of puppy chatter. Jordan enjoys human attention but isn’t clingy; he’s perfectly happy entertaining himself with a good chew toy after a busy play session.Smart, resilient, and food-motivated, Jordan Michael is a fantastic mix of independence and affection. With continued guidance (and plenty of playtime), he’s going to grow into a confident, well-balanced companion.We love our dogs. We want happy lives for all of them and are looking for the home that provides the best fit for each dog’s individual needs.
