Story
Simba has spent too long waiting for his forever family. 💔 This strong and spirited Akita-Husky mix is full of energy, loves his toys, and is happiest on long walks or playing with his human. He’s sweet, loyal, and ready for the right home. If you’re looking for a dog with personality and heart, Simba is waiting to meet you! 🐕 Adopt Simba: https://form.jotform.com/221926016430144 Full profile: Simba is a 6-8-year-old Akita-Husky mix with the personality of an Akita and the heart of a lion. He’s playful, sweet, and full of energy but needs a confident and strong adopter who understands his needs. 💪 Strength & Training: Simba is powerful and can pull when excited, so he needs someone physically capable of managing his strength. He’s learning commands like sit, down, paw, and “potty” and thrives with structure. A harness might help with his pulling. 🐾 Energy & Personality: Simba is not always a couch potato! He loves long walks (2+ miles is no problem), playing with his toys, and getting plenty of attention. He’s affectionate and cuddly but always ready for adventure. 🏡 Home Needs: Simba would do best in a home without small children due to his strength and energy. He’s good with other dogs, especially more timid ones, but does best with boundaries around toys and space. He’s also quite the counter-surfer, so keeping things out of reach is key! 🐕 Health: Simba has a thyroid condition that is managed with treatment, giving him renewed energy and playfulness. Simba has had a lot of love and care from his foster, but he’s ready to find his forever home. If you’re looking for a strong, loyal, and playful companion, Simba could be your perfect match. 💙 Ready to meet Simba? Apply to adopt him and give this big-hearted boy the home he deserves. 📌 Share to help Simba find his forever home Currently being cared in Southern California, but can be transported up to northern states, such as Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and anywhere within the US continental, if a great suitable family is willing to adopt him.

Story
How this pet arrived: This pet was brought in by their previous owner on June 23, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you:Maddie is a sweet, sensitive gal in search of a loving new home! Maddie is a bit shy initially, but has made great progress with positive reinforcement training. Once she feels safe, her affectionate personality shines through and she seeks out gentle affection like chest rubs and back pets. She is also recovering from a procedure where she had one of her eyes removed, and with time she will heal and be used to her life with only one eye. Maddie has a positive history with other dogs and has enjoyed playdates while in care. Due to her shy nature, she would do best in a home where any children are 12 years and older and can respect her boundaries. She will thrive with continued positive reinforcement training and a quiet, understanding home that allows her time to build trust and confidence. With patience and consistency, she will reward her adopter with loving affection and loyalty. If you're ready to open your heart and home to this sweet soul, come meet Maddie today! At SDHS:This pet has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. This pet is now ready for their new home! Primary Color: Tan Weight: 61.1875 Age: 3yrs 11mths 0wks

Kai is playful, intelligent, and an eager learner who benefits from structure and consistency. In a previous home, he has done wonderfully with children and another dog, showing that he can build positive relationships when given the right introductions and guidance. Like many dogs, Kai can feel unsure around unfamiliar dogs, and he's currently working on his confidence and calm responses in those situations. With supportive adopters who are willing to continue positive reinforcement training and provide thoughtful management, Kai has all the potential to thrive. His eagerness to please, loving nature and past success in a multi-dog home make him a truly special companion! At SDHS:Kai has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. Kai is now ready for his new home! Primary Color: Seal Secondary Color: White Weight: 100 Age: 1yrs 10mths 2wks
