Story

Note: Special Needs Dog due to Behavior/Shyness. This dog is bonded and must be adopted with Pepe. Are you looking for a gorgeous dog? What about a very shy dog? If you answered yes to both of these questions, Chee Yoo could be the perfect dog for you. Chee Yoo is a beautiful, 5 yo medium/large female dog that came to Jelly's Place from South Korea in July 2021. Why has such a wonderful dog not been adopted yet? Read further to find out. Chee Yoo is very timid and nervous around people. She LOVES other dogs, and has become best friends with another Jelly's dog named Pepe. Pepe has a very similar personality to Chee Yoo and the two of them are like 2 peas in a pod. Chee Yoo can guard her food which is not surprising given where she came from. So, care needs to be taken with another dog when food, especially high value foods, are around. During her time at Jelly's Place, Chee Yoo has gone from hiding in the corner to taking daily walks on a leash. She is becoming more comfortable and confident, but still has a long way to go. She has learned to trust her primary caregiver, but is still not comfortable interacting with other people. Chee Yoo would do best in a calm, quiet home with dog experience and older or no children. Chee Yoo is NOT a dog for first time adopters. She needs adopters who are willing to be patient and to give her the time and space she needs to feel comfortable, confident and loved. Another dog in the home is essential. and we prefer to keep Chee Yoo with her buddy Pepe. If you are interested in adopting Chee Yoo, we recommend that you come and spend time with her on several occasions so that she becomes comfortable with you. Chee Yoo is UTD on vaccines, spayed and microchipped. Applications are being accepted and qualified applicants will be contacted.

Story

Bubi is a little survivor with a big heart. ❤️ She may have had a difficult beginning, but you would never know it from the joyful, loving puppy she is today. Bubi is sweet, resilient, playful, and full of life. She has blossomed in her foster home and is discovering just how wonderful it feels to be safe, cared for, and loved. Bubi is fantastic with other dogs — big or small — and loves being around people. She’s affectionate and happy, with the kind of cheerful spirit that makes you smile just by watching her. She’s also a little overachiever! Bubi is potty trained, crate trained, and has mastered her puppy basics. She’s currently working on her leash manners and learning more every day. After everything she’s overcome at such a young age, Bubi deserves a forever home where she can simply be a puppy — playing, cuddling, exploring, and soaking up all the love she missed out on. Bubi is ready for her next chapter, and we have a feeling it’s going to be her best one yet. 🐾💕

Story

Meet Emi Emi’s sleek, brindle coat is a thing of beauty and so magnificent to behold. Engaging, charismatic, gregarious, and spirited are the first things you sense about her from the moment she enters a room. Emi exudes a brand of joy that makes her impossible to resist! Not until you witness her graceful elegance and see a bit of frost around her muzzle, do you realize she is a senior beauty with an abundance of life experiences to share. She’s 8 years old and has found herself homeless, but she’s seen enough in life to know there’s still a wondrous journey ahead. She is a lover of people and she’d much rather be enjoying a fun adventure with you by her side on interesting walks or trips to the beach, than be left at home alone. She needs to be an only dog and is not suitable with cats. She is approximately 60 lbs. and seems unaware she has some arthritis and hip dysplasia. But as you can see, she enjoys playing with her toys and doing tricks for treats. Her healthy curiosity keeps her engaged in life’s adventures, though she also loves her beauty naps. Please don’t let her age deter you from considering giving her a home. Her heart is overflowing with love. If you are interested in Emi, please complete our adoption application in the link below.

Story

Hello! We are reaching out in hopes of finding homes for two wonderful Akitas, Nikita and Goku, who are currently at the Hesperia Animal Shelter and will both be deadlined next week due to space restrictions. Nikita is a beautiful 3-year-old intact female Akita who has been at the shelter since mid-July. She is an incredibly sweet girl who is dog tolerant, completely potty trained, and keeps her kennel clean. She looks forward to her daily outings to the play yard and truly comes alive when she is able to get outside and spend time away from her kennel. Unfortunately, her extended shelter stay is beginning to take a toll on her, and she is becoming increasingly depressed in the kennel environment. Goku is an approximately 3-year-old male Akita and is truly the sweetest boy. He appears to be dog friendly, loves playing with toys, and walks well on a leash. He is affectionate, easy to spend time with, and would make a wonderful companion for the right home. Although Goku and Nikita did not come into the shelter together, they look so similar that they could almost be related. Our shelter is currently at full capacity, and unfortunately both Nikita and Goku are expected to receive deadlines next week due to the continued need for kennel space. We desperately want to see these two wonderful dogs get the opportunity they deserve. If you are able to help either Nikita, Goku, or both of them, or if you know of others that may be interested in adopting them, please reach out to us as soon as possible. Thank you for everything you can do to help make a difference for Nikita and Goku. For more information or to visit Nikita and Goku, please contact: Hesperia Animal Services 11011 Santa Fe Avenue East Hesperia, CA 92345 760-9471700 760-947-1712 fax Shelter Hours: Sunday and Monday - Closed Tuesday to Saturday, 10am to 5pm (This listing is to help assist direct placements of rescues that are currently with other rescue groups, shelters or their current owners.

Nike

Akita Siberian Husky

Good with kids,

Story

My name is Nike and I am a spayed female, black and white Akita and Siberian Husky. The shelter staff think I am about 1 year and 10-months old. I have been at the shelter since January 15, 2026 Meet Nike, the Akita Siberian Husky Mix! Nike arrived at the Shelter by no fault of her own – her previous guardian was unable to continue caring for her. Nike has been described as energetic and friendly with people. She enjoys going for walks and runs. She’s lived with children ages 5, 8 and 9 years of age as well as teenagers and did well with them. She was crated when left alone for a few hours and was eager to reconnect with her family when they came home. Nike is a smart cookie and comes with a whole vocabulary of things she knows including: “sit”, “lay down”, “high five”, “shake”, “wait”, “slow down”, and “come here”. She would love to work her brain with her new family (and bond through positive reinforcement based training. Nike enjoys riding in the car on her way to adventures. She can be selective in her dog friends (liking some but not others) so if there are any resident dogs in the home, it would be recommended they meet prior to adoption. Nike's adoption fee has been sponsored by the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation's Leave No One Behind fund - a fund that draws adopter's eyes towards animals that have been waiting a little bit longer than average for the right adopters to come along and bring them home. The Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation is now offering “Pawsitivity Bucks” with every dog adoption. This $200 training voucher is a way for newly adopted canines and their guardians to connect with local positive reinforcement based behavior consultants and get their relationship started off on the right paw! Nike’s Animal ID is A327886 For more information about Nike or to meet her, please contact: Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter 1001 Rodriguez Street Santa Cruz, CA 95062 831-454-7200 www.scanimalshelter.org Please note: Our Santa Cruz location’s Shelter hours are 11am to 6pm, 7 days a week! Although clients can walk through and see any animals in their kennels during open hours, we end “meet and greets” (aka meeting an animal out of the kennel) at 4:30pm every day. If you’d like to meet an animal out of the kennel, please arrive before 4:00pm to allow for time to discuss individual animals and meet them.
