Story
How this pet arrived: This pet was brought in by a community member on 2/12/26. Why this pet is the one for you:Priscillo is a sweet and sensitive dog who is still learning that the world can be a safe and kind place. He can be fearful when it comes to handling and new situations, so he needs a little extra time and understanding as he gets comfortable. While he may seem shy at first, Priscillo has a soft and loving personality that begins to shine once he feels secure.Meeting new people and exploring unfamiliar environments can be overwhelming for Priscillo. Because of this, he does best when introductions are slow and calm. With patience, gentle encouragement, and consistency, he gradually warms up and begins to show his affectionate and loyal nature. At SDHS:This pet has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed neutered. This pet is now ready for their new home! Primary Color: Black Brindle Weight: 74 Age: 2yrs 1mths 2wks

Story
How Skadi arrived: Skadi was brought in by their previous owner on March 15th. Why Skadi is the one for you:Skadi is a beautiful gentle giant with a heart just as big as her size. Though she may be a little shy when you first meet her, it doesn't take long for her sweet and loving nature to shine through. She's calm, patient, and wonderfully gentle, making her a great companion for kids who can appreciate her soft and easygoing personality. Skadi thrives in a low-energy home where she can feel safe and relaxed, and she would do best as the only dog or with another very calm, laid-back companion. Once she bonds with you, Skadi will fill your days with quiet affection, loyal companionship, and the kind of warmth only a truly special dog can give. At SDHS:Skadi has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. Skadi is now ready for their new home! Primary Color: Tan Weight: 102 Age: 3yrs 1mths 2wks

Story
Meet Gus Gus is an 8-year-old black Mastiff with a heart as big as his paws. Found as a stray in Ontario alongside his friend—possibly his daughter—Tavi, Gus has shown nothing but gentle, loving energy. While they would love to find a home together, they can be adopted separately if needed. Weighing in at approximately 115 lbs, Gus is a true gentle giant. He’s the sweetest big boy who lives for chew sticks, affection, and cozy snuggles. Gus would be perfectly happy spending his days as a couch potato, soaking up love and giving it right back. He is housetrained and has wonderful manners, making him an easy, loving companion for a calm home looking for a loyal best friend. ##2648733##

Story
Meet Octavia also called Tavi. Octavia is a big girl with an even bigger heart. Since being rescued from the shelter, she’s proven herself to be the perfect houseguest—gentle, loving, and so grateful for a second chance. Affectionately known as Tavi, she’s ready to leave her past behind and find a forever home where she can truly shine. She just needs someone to give her that chance… and we know she’ll give a lifetime of love in return. Due to Tavi's neglect, she had a severe eye infection when we rescued her from the shelter on the euth list.  Unfortunately, we were unable to save her eye but that doesn't stop her one bit! ##2688495##

Story
How this pet arrived:This pet was brought in by our Humane Law Enforcement team on March 19, 2026. Why this pet is the one for you: Say hello to beautiful brindled Bistro! We are still learning about Bistro's unique personality, but from what we know so far, he's a gem - a big love who has been through adversity and come out the other side still gentle and unbroken. As soon as he arrived at the shelter, Bistro was treated by our veterinary team who extracted cactus thorns from his muzzle, and he's healing well! Prior to his arrival, he was briefly looked after by a Good Samaritan who reported that Bistro played well with their young child. Playful yet mellow, loyal and kind, Bistro's friendly and sweet nature endears him to everyone he gets to know. Adopting Bistro means bringing home a canine best friend who's ready to adopt a human family of his own! If you'd like to meet this courageous and devoted pup, speak with our team today! At SDHS:This pet has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed/neutered. This pet is now ready for adoption! Primary Color: Brindle Weight: 63
