Story
I first got Loki when he was a couple months old, Loki is now 2 years old. He is a very energetic pug that deserves and needs time and dedication to train him more. Someone to give him the freedom and lifestyle he deserves. He spends most of his time in his crate but i’m sure he would love to have fun with a family who has time for him. He is currently an apartment pug with restricted space to let out his energy. I have a very busy life taking care of a disabled sibling and this leaves little to no time with Loki. Loki is very friendly and loves meeting new people and is always curious. He is somewhat house trained but needs more attention in that area. I truly believe Loki has a good heart and is a good loving dog that just deserves more from their owner that I sadly don’t have the time for. Upon adopting Loki you will receive all his belongings.

Story
How this pet arrived: Brownie was brought in by their previous owner on February 24, 2026.Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Brownie! Brownie is a sweet, sensitive girl who just needs a little time to show her true personality. When she first meets new people or finds herself in a new place, she can be a bit shy and likes to take things at her own pace. But once she starts to feel comfortable, her playful and sweet side begins to shine through. Brownie would do best in a calm home with kids 8 years and older, and she asks that all members of the household be present for her meet-and-greet-she likes to make sure everyone passes the vibe check. She enjoys exploring, sniffing around, and even having little bursts of playful energy when she's feeling happy and relaxed. With patience and a gentle approach, she's shown that she can warm up and enjoy spending time near her people. Brownie would thrive in a home where she can settle in gradually and have a cozy space to call her own while she adjusts. If you're looking for a fun, playful and slightly quirky companion, Brownie is ready to win your heart-one careful sniff at a time!Shy/Fearful Dog: Brownie requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about them.At SDHS:Brownie has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. She is now ready for his new home! Primary Color: Tan Secondary Color: Black Weight: 23.8 Age: 1yrs 4mths 0wks

Story
How this pet arrived: Barbirusa was brought in by Humane Law Enforcement 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. Because she can be fearful and reactive when overwhelmed, she's looking for a home with kids over 10, and parents should supervise interactions to help everyone stay safe and happy. Shy/Fearful Dog: This pet requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about them. Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: Black Weight: 22.6 Age: 3yrs 7mths 0wks

Story
KC is a 1-year-old black pug. She previously belonged to my brother and his girlfriend, but when they moved, they were unable to take her with them. I offered to provide her with a temporary loving home while she finds her forever family. KC is a sweet, energetic, and affectionate little girl with a big personality. She loves staying active, enjoys sunbathing in the mornings, and loves going on walks. She gets along great with other dogs. I’m unsure how she gets along with cats, as I haven't seen her interact with them. She previously lived in a home with children. KC has never shown any signs of aggression, and she is an easygoing dog. We are currently working on potty training, and she has learned to use a wee-wee pad in case of accidents. She is up to date on her vaccinations and was spayed on 2/24. An adoption fee is being requested to ensure KC goes to a serious, responsible home. Please apply only if you are a serious, experienced dog owner.
