Story
Greetings Friends! My name’s Remarkable Remy --and I’m a seven-year-old Havanese boy with a soft gray-and-white coat and a heart that is loving (and ready to share my love.) Before I became a FurKid, I spent most of my life in a crate which is why my foster mom says I'm a one year old pup in a slightly older body. I like to have fun - and create fun, too! Why I feel like a brand-new pup! I love being with my pack and have learned things like 'how to cuddle'. I don't need my 'own space' as I love being with my foster family. My new life includes chasing my doggy foster brothers around the yard. I’m not exactly sure what to do with the ball itself but I’m an enthusiastic member of the “dogs chasing dogs chasing the ball” team. It’s the best kind of fun! When it comes to people, I’m all in. I love everyone I meet—men, women, kids of all sizes and shapes and visitors. If you smile and have a hand that likes to pet, we’ll be instant friends. I adore attention and will happily soak up affection. And when I’m ready to relax, I often retreat quietly to my crate (Mom calls it my happy place). I’m an active guy who enjoys long walks, play time, and exploring the great outdoors. I walk nicely on a leash (okay, I might pull a bit to say hello to neighbors!), and I’m fully housebroken (and use a doggie door like a champ! I mastered it in no time at all.) I like to ride in the car—shotgun’s my favorite seat, but I’m happy to chill in the back too. My Ideal Home Must Have: – A like-sized, energetic doggy friend to keep me company and play with – A safe yard for exploring and zoomies – A family who enjoys walks and outdoor adventures Experience Level: – Adopters who understand active, fun-loving pups and can help continue light training After seven years of waiting for my real life to begin, I’m finally free to run, play, and love—and am ready to share that joy with my forever family. If you’re looking for a happy, energetic companion who will greet every day with enthusiasm and a heart full of love, I just might be your guy. Tail wags and smiles, Radiant, Remarkable & Resilient Remy

Story
How this pet arrived: This pet was brought in by a community member on September 26, 2025 Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Esteban, a distinguished 9-year-old gentleman who has weathered some hard times but is now ready for brighter days ahead. He came to us by way of a community member, so we're still getting to know him, but here's what we've learned so far: Esteban takes a little time to warm up and can be a bit hard to read at first. He'll do best with a family that gives him patience, space, and the chance to come into his own. Esteban had some dental extractions in our care and they are healing nicely, but a follow up with your vet should be in the future! His handsome coat will also require regular brushing and trips to the groomer to keep him looking sharp. This refined fellow would love a quiet home stocked with the essentials: a soft, extra-fluffy bed, an abundance of treats, and unconditional love. Once you've won him over, you'll have a loyal companion who appreciates the finer things in life. Bring a leash, bring a collar, and bring Esteban home-you might just find he's the perfect gentleman for you. At SDHS:This pet has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed neutered. This pet is now ready for their new home! Primary Color: Grey Secondary Color: White Weight: 10.1 Age: 9yrs 2mths 1wks

Story
Hello New Friends, My name is Beloved and Blissful Bohdi — and I’m a gentle, handsome bichon boy of five years, weighing 19 pounds who has soulful brown eyes and a nose my foster mom says is “designed specifically for kisses.” (I think she might be right). If you’re wondering what kind of pup I am, let me tell you my story. Recently I found myself starting a brand-new chapter as a FurKid. I lost my mom, my home and my doggy siblings and arrived at my foster home: polite, quiet boy who wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. I quickly learned that life inside a loving home is full of soft beds, kind hands, and tummy rubs (oh yes, the tummy rubs!). Within days I began to show my true self: a gentle soul who leans in for affection, rolls over for belly scratches, and melts into your hand when you pet the top of my head. I close my eyes and nearly drift off every time. My Foster says that’s “the cutest thing she’s ever seen.” I’m also a happy, lively pup when the great outdoors calls! I love going on walks, especially when we meet wildlife trotting across our path. Squirrels, birds, anything with feathers or fur — I perk right up and say, “Ooh! A friend!” At the park I run, jump, and play with the other dogs. I’m still learning that after you chase a toy, you’re supposed to actually bring it back. I’m working on that (I promise). As for other pups, I’m definitely the “easygoing little brother” type. I’ll curl up back-to-back with my foster siblings, share space like a gentleman, and happily join in when everyone crowds around for pets and treats. Sometimes I check what the others got for dinner, because… well… what if they received something even better? I’m still perfecting the art of “eat your dinner first, Bohdi,” but I’m enthusiastic about the lesson. I adore grown-ups, too, and I’m wonderful with children. On a recent walk, I met two young neighbors—ages four and eight—and politely let them pet me with no hesitation. I’m also a terrific car-ride companion: on my 45-minute trip to my foster home I alternated between looking out the window like a proper explorer and curling up for a restful snooze. I was “a perfect gentleman.” House manners? I do very well — especially with a doggie door. I’m great on the leash, too. I think I know how to heel, because I often glance back to check in with my Mom. Sitting is a work in progress. When you ask, I sometimes melt gently to the floor instead. It’s not that I’m being disobedient… it’s more like shyness mixed with charm. At night I hop up on the bed for snuggles, then quietly choose a dog bed of my own nearby. I’m calm and rarely bark (unless my foster siblings rally to protect the house) then, of course, I contribute one polite “woof!” to the cause. I’m an active boy who enjoys good walks (and time outdoors), but also wonderfully content with naps and companionship. I’m healthy, easygoing, affectionate, gentle, and ready to give my whole heart to the person or family who loves me. Whether you scoop me up in your arms, pull me close on the couch, or stroke the top of my head while I drift toward dreamland, I’ll show you every day just how grateful and loving a little dog can be. My Ideal Home Should Have: • A family or adult(s) who enjoy affection and togetherness • Another kind, playful dog in my home • Humans who appreciate a gentle, loving companion • Regular walks and time outside (I do love an adventure!) Experience Level: • Someone with dog experience • A home where kindness and routine are the norm If you’re looking for a loving, tenderhearted companion who wants nothing more than to be close, be cherished, and share life’s simple joys, I’m applying to be your new best friend. Please ask for me by name. Tail wags, snuggles, and love, Beloved, Blissful and Blessed Bohdi

Story
We acquired our beloved dog as a gift from my husband, who bought him from a friend. He is 9 years old and has been with us all his life. Unfortunately, our children have developed allergies, and their health keeps getting affected. Our dog is the best—he's incredibly friendly, great with kids, and loves to be pet. We're looking for a new home where he can continue to receive the love and attention he deserves.
