Story
How this pet arrived: This pet was brought in by their previous owner on September 12, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you:Jake is a mellow, affectionate pup who's happiest exploring the world with his nose. He lives for sniffy walks and is currently using them to help with his weight-loss journey! With consistent daily walks and a balanced diet, he's on the path to a healthier life, and is looking for an adopter who can help him get there. Jake is a dream on leash - he doesn't pull and walks calmly by your side, and shows no reactivity towards other dogs. He's done wonderfully with children (ages 6-10) and has lived peacefully with cats. Jake prefers to be the only dog in the home, as he can be uncomfortable around other dogs, particularly smaller ones - but he's done well ignoring them in public spaces. His previous owner described him as "very chill, low-key, intelligent and affectionate," and we couldn't agree more. He loves pets all over, leans in for affection and will happily roll over for belly rubs. If you're looking for a calm, intelligent and loving companion, Jake is ready to meet you! He's truly a joy to be around. At SDHS:This pet has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. This pet is now ready for their new home! Primary Color: Tan Weight: 92.4 Age: 8yrs 3mths 0wks

I adopted Zeus from Baja when he was just 2 months old. He is now 11 years old and still plays like a puppy. He is a kind and playful dog, use to live inside the house until my kid was born due to health issues. Zeus is not trained to not eat the food on the table. We never had a second pet but i do know he doesnt like cats. Full of energy but need love and attention. He is a good companion.

Story
Maggie was adopted from the shelter in Virginia and is now 2 years old. Unfortunately we had to move across the country due to military orders and now we no longer have a yard/ as much time to get her energy out. She is very sweet and cuddly. Gets along with other dogs and does very well with children. She has a lot of energy and loves to play fetch. Looking for a home that will allow her to get the attention and playtime that she deserves. She is up to date on her vaccinations and is microchipped.

Stella

Labrador Retriever Shepherd (Unknown Type)

La Mesa, CA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
We adopted Stella from a rescue in Mexico when she was 6 months old. By that time she had already survived parvo and distemper! She is a sweet dog but does have anxiety and would do best in a house with a yard and no children. We are finding her a new home because she has started exhibiting concerning behavior towards our toddler. She loves to relax at home and run around our backyard, due to her anxiety she does not like to go on walks. Due to her illnesses as a puppy she does have arthritis that only affects her if she runs too much. She also has history of ACL repair to both back legs and a surgery to her right front leg to correct a damaged radial growth plate (all 3 surgeries were in the first year we had her and she has not had any since then).
