Story
Hi there! My name is Willy Wonka and I'm at the Santa Barbara Campus. I am a 2 year old, neutered male, shih tzu mix. Adoptions are open 12pm-4:30pm every day, except Wednesdays, and no appointment is needed. Like all SBH animals, when I am adopted I will have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Adoptions also include a certificate for a complimentary post-adoption veterinary exam from a local clinic and our partners at Hills Science Diet will provide a supply of food for my first few days at home. Need some supplies? Both SB Humane Campuses have retail centers stocked with everything you need, at comparable prices, and your purchase helps support our mission. Hope to see you soon!

Teddy is such a sweet boy; unfortunately, my daughter and I are both allergic to him. He's playful, cuddly, and housetrained. He would be a great fit for someone who works from home as he loves being around people.

Story
I’m your soon-to-be best friend and professional lap companion. I love being close to my people… like really close. Sitting at your feet? Yes. Snoozing on your lap? Absolutely. Hugging you when I’m excited? My specialty. I’m playful, toy-motivated, and always ready for action, but I also give the sweetest snuggles once we unwind. I did well in foster with other dogs, though I sometimes forget that not everyone enjoys mouthy play, I just get so happy! If you’re looking for a devoted, energetic goofball who will fill your days with laughter and affection, pick me, pick me!

Story
Meet Mr. Wonderful! This sweet boy was found wandering the streets of Compton, scared, alone, and unsure who to trust. He had no microchip, and after a 10-day stray hold Shelter Hope took him. We got him fixed, vaccinated, and microchipped, and now he is thriving in foster care, ready for his second chance. Sadly, he has been patiently waiting for his forever home at Shelter Hope for over 6 months. Mr. Wonderful is a tender-hearted 1.5 year old Shih Tzu mix, weighing just 15 lbs. With soulful eyes, a charming underbite, and a beautiful spirit, Mr. Wonderful lives up to his name in every way. Once he feels safe, he becomes a total cuddlebug who loves pets and snuggling in your lap to soak up affection. But he isn’t just about snuggles. Mr. Wonderful is an energetic, enthusiastic guy who loves to zoom around, and play with anyone up for some fun. And the best part? His foster says if you ask him for a kiss, he will run up to you and shower you with love. Mr. Wonderful is a jumper, so he will need a home with a tall, secure fence. He can be a little nervous with new people, but with a bit of patience and kindness, he will soon be climbing into your lap looking for love. Our foster says he does great with older kids who can give him the initial slow introduction he needs to feel comfortable. Mr. Wonderful is ready for the warm and loving family he deserves! —----- Looking to Adopt? Submit a Rescue Questionnaire! Please be thorough in your answers. Step 1) Application Step 2) Phone Interview Step 3) Appointment Shelter Hope is operating by appointment only.

Story
Noel was found outside a 7-Eleven in Inglewood with no microchip, alone, scared, and covered in fleas. A Good Samaritan took her in and searched for an owner. After her 10-day stray hold was complete, it had become clear that Noel had been dumped. Shelter Hope heard her story and welcomed her with open arms. After a vet visit and a much needed grooming, Noel is feeling much more comfortable. Noel is a tiny 8-year-old Shih Tzu mix, weighing just 8 lbs. She has an ulcer in one eye and will need daily eye medication for both eyes for life, but it doesn’t slow down her sweet, loving nature. She loves pets, cuddles, and lap time, but is sensitive about being lifted off the ground. Now fixed, vaccinated, and microchipped, Noel is ready for a patient, loving home where she can relax, feel safe, and be adored. -------- Looking to Adopt? Submit a Rescue Questionnaire!
