Story
Brisk is an adorable 3 year old, 13 lb male pug mix looking for his forever home. Brisk is a loving and affectionate pup, who is both house trained and crate trained, and good with dogs, children and adults. He's always ready to curl up beside you while you work from home, or follow you from room to room just to stay close. He has a playful, fun personality but also knows how to relax during a quiet moment, making him an easy fit for just about any home. Brisk doesn't bark (like, ever!), which makes him a great match for apartments or anyone who needs a more peaceful environment, and loves getting out for walks (and easy to walk on the leash!). He loves playing with toys and other dogs, and would make a great buddy to take to coffee shops or on errand runs as he is an active boy and would do best with another playful dog or active family. Brisk is loyal companion, and a very sweet boy, that would be a steady presence in any family's life. His adoption fee is $350 and includes his neuter, microchip and current vaccinations.

Story
How this pet arrived: Barbirusa was brought in by our Humane Law Enforcement team on March 2, 2026. Why this pet is the one for you: Meet Barbirusa! Barbirusa is a sweet and sensitive girl who likes to take life at her own pace. She can be a little unsure about new people and unfamiliar places, so her future family should be ready to move slowly and let her warm up in her own time. With gentle introductions, patience and lots of encouragement, Barbirusa's fun personality can really shine! She loves zooming around and then settling in your lap. Because she can be a bit timid at first, she's looking for a quiet home, without young children (10+) and where everyone can respect her boundaries. She can't wait to share her love with her new family - come meet her today! At SDHS:Barbirusa has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. She is now ready for her new home! Shy/Fearful Dog: Barbirusa requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about her. Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: Black Weight: 24.6 Age: 3yrs 9mths 3wks
