Story
This St. Bernard mix defies both odds and expectations.  To meet Shito you would not believe he spent the first year of his life living in a small cage filled with his own feces.  When his "owner" was charged with animal cruelty he graduated to being tied on a chain in the desert heat.  Concerned neighbors came to the rescue of him, his three siblings and two other dogs when the "owner" was arrested and sentenced to time in jail.  Unfortunately, that "freedom" meant cutting them loose to fend for themselves unwilling to be touched by people.  When we got the call we knew we had to help and after a grueling 10 days were able to safely secure them all.   Shito's start was full of fear but his desire to trust and be loved was intense for a dog who had clearly had a rough beginning.  Once safe, his confidence, eagerness to please, absolute desire for affection and food drive blossomed and is a joy to experience.  He LOVES to be touched.  Brushing is his absolute happy place.  He'll meet you with a tail wag, loves to give sweet kisses and will make you smile.  He is a gentle giant but due to his size and young age is still learning feet stay on the ground but is a dream on the leash and sits quick for treats.  He has rarely met a person he didn't love, however, is afraid of little feet so older children only please.  Due to a life fighting to survive he can be around dogs safely but not in the same home or shared space so needs to be your one and only.   He may have had a horrible beginning but he is ready for you to help write his amazing future.  Apply and come meet him today.  You won't regret it. ##2163426##

Story
How this pet arrived: Beethoven was brought in by our Humane Law Enforcement team on 11/26/25. Why this pet is the one for you:Beethoven is a handsome doggie looking for a loving forever home. He is friendly but can be shy at first, especially in the shelter environment, where he may appear a bit nervous or hesitate at thresholds. With gentle encouragement and a calm approach, Beethoven begins to feel more secure and show his sweet, affectionate side. He would thrive in a patient, understanding home that can help build his confidence and offer him the stability and love he deserves. At SDHS:Beethoven has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. Beethoven is now ready for his new home! Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Brown Weight: 77.6 Age: 3yrs 0mths 1wks

Story
Age: 6 years old Gender: Male Breed: Bull Mastiff mix Weight: 84 lbs Personality: Very sweet and cuddly! He is very pleasant to walk if there are no other dogs in the area. He is learning to be more confident and less reactive. Education: Good with bathroom and leash training and is working on leash reactivity Favorite Activities: Tug of war, long night walks, hanging out in the kitchen Looking for: An active family who will love him and play with him! Some patient training will help him be the best boy ever! He will do best as an only dog right now. Hippo likes routine so someone who can create some structure for him would be ideal to help with his anxiety! A family with kids would be good, too - he has been great with kids of all ages, even with toddlers! A home with a backyard in a quiet neighborhood would be great! Special needs: Current medication to help with separation anxiety Prozac (fluoxetine) (~$5.00). Monthly cost depending on where purchased and market value. Adoption Fee: $ 250 ##1733826##

Titus Your Next Adventure Buddy! Titus is an 18-month-old, 83-lb bundle of love and energy! This handsome boy is curious, intelligent, and full of life.

Whether it’s walks, hikes, or any outdoor fun, he’s always up for it! He’d thrive in a home with a backyard and maybe another playful pup to keep him company. He’s also a sweetheart with people — Titus loves attention from children and adults alike and happily soaks up every pet and scratch he can get. He hasn’t been around cats yet, but he’s such a good-natured, fun-loving, and beautiful dog who just wants to be part of a loving home. Interested in meeting Titus?
