Story
Meet Cashew, a sweet 2-year-old Akita mix who is now available for adoption at the Newport Beach Animal Shelter.Cashew recently has a rare condition called masticatory muscle myositis, which affects her jaw muscles. She can eat and drink comfortably, but has some difficulty picking up toys.Cashew knows how to sit and lay down, and she gets bursts of playful energy from time to time. She would benefit from continued training to help her build confidence and skills. We are still learning how she feels about other dogs.If you think Cashew might be the right match for your home, we invite you to come meet her.

Story
How this pet arrived: Kuma was brought in by a field service officer on November 25, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Kuma! Kuma is a dignified pup searching for a family who will appreciate his gentle nature and loyal heart. We're still getting to know him, but he's already shown us what a genuinely sweet and handsome boy he is. Kuma loves nothing more than treats, gentle pets (once he gets to know you, of course), and the company of his favorite people - once he decides you're in his circle, he's all in with soft eyes and quiet affection. Kuma does best with thoughtful outings and a calm environment. He can be a bit reactive on leash when he sees other dogs, so his future family should plan on walks during quieter times of day and choose paths with fewer canine passersby. With consistency, positive reinforcement, and awareness of his surroundings, he'll feel more comfortable and confident during his adventures. He would love a family that appreciates his loyal nature and is ready to provide structure, patience, and plenty of care. If you're looking for a devoted companion who enjoys both cozy evenings and peaceful strolls, Kuma might be the perfect match. Make sure to bring a leash and collar and come meet him today! At SDHS:Kuma has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. Kuma is now ready for his new home! Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: Tan Weight: 97.4 Age: 3yrs 0mths 0wks

Story
Oversized teddy bear seeks snuggle partner. Cuddly, smart, and eager to please, swipe right if you can handle this high energy heart with a soft side. Hatchi’s story is heartbreaking — he came into the shelter with his brother, but when their owner returned, they only took his brother… leaving Hatchi behind in a high-kill shelter. He soon found himself on the euthanasia list. Hatchi is now in a loving foster home and is looking for his forever home where he can feel safe, loved, and supported again. Hatchi does require eye drops daily for the remainder of his life. In our dream world, Hatchi would find a human that would help him feel confident and secure in a FINALLY stable environnment.

Story
Meet Isa, a gentle, loyal mama who has finished raising her puppies and is now patiently waiting for a forever home of her own After surviving a shelter birth and caring for her babies with quiet devotion, Isa is finally getting the chance to simply be a dog and shes proving to be one of the sweetest souls youll ever meet. At home, Isa is calm, affectionate, and happiest when shes close to her people. She loves curling up in her cozy bed, getting tucked in with a blanket, and carrying around her little stuffed animals. She also enjoys her walks, exploring the world with soft curiosity and a wagging tail. And if you really want to make her day? A frozen banana treat makes her close her eyes in pure delight. Isa is still building confidence when left alone, and shes been making steady progress with patient guidance and routine. She would thrive in a home where someone is around often or where she can have a gentle canine friend for company. A yard or open space would be a dream come true for her a place to stretch her legs, run freely, and enjoy the life she has always deserved. Shes still learning to trust the world. Going out in public and encountering new things can be scary for her, but her foster is working with her every day and shes slowly improving. With patience and reassurance, she blossoms. Isa has so much love to give. Shes tender, trusting, and ready to form a deep, lifelong bond with a family who sees the beauty in her soft spirit. Now that her puppies have been adopted into wonderful homes, it's Isas turn. Her forever family is out there and shes so ready to meet them.
