How this pet arrived: Pike was brought in by his previous owner on June 27, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Pike, a total sweetheart with a big heart and even bigger kisses! This affectionate boy loves to follow his people around and be part of the action. He's an active pup who enjoys outings and gets excited to hit the road - he may pull on the leash at first, but settles in nicely and walks well after that. Pike already knows how to "sit" and would thrive with positive reinforcement training and a consistent routine to help channel his enthusiasm. He's done well with other dogs on outings but may prefer to be the only dog at home due to some guarding behaviors and reactivity. If you have another dog, bring them in to see if it's a good match! Pike also has a positive history living with cats and children! Come meet this lovable guy and see if he's the perfect fit - don't forget to bring the whole family! At SDHS:Pike has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. He is now ready for his new home!

How this pet arrived: Popeye was brought in by a community member on August 19, 2025.Why this pet is the one for you:Ahoy, Matey! Meet Popeye! This salty little sailor is ready to drop anchor into your home! Popeye's spent most of his life as an outdoor adventurer, so he's still learning the ropes of indoor living - but with a steady captain by his side, he'll be shipshape in no time. This spirited sailor prefers to keep his treasures (like food and toys) close, so his crew will need to be over the age of 10 and help him feel safe by trading items and keeping high-value booty tucked away. He can also display some reactivity towards other dogs, so he's best kept away from dog parks and off-leash voyages. If you do have another pup or older children in the home, make sure to bring them along to meet prior to adopting. With a bit of structure, patience and treats, Popeye will be the best first mate you could ask for! Don't forget to bring a leash and collar for a safe transport home!

How this pet arrived: Roxy was brought in by our Humane Law Enforcement team on November 20, 2025.Why Roxy is the one for you:Meet Roxy! Roxy is a gentle, resilient sweetheart looking for a home where she can relax and live out her golden years! She came to us as a stray, so we don't know much about her past - but her soft eyes and sweet nature tell us she's ready for a fresh start. Roxy has a few age-related medical quirks, including a removed mass and dental disease. As a short-faced (brachycephalic) pup, she can also find breathing a bit tricky, so she'll do best in a calm home that understands her need for a slower pace and a cool, comfortable environment. Her ideal family is patient, kind, and ready to help her continue feeling her best. In return, she'll offer endless sweetness, grateful cuddles, and the joy of watching her blossom. If you're looking for a lovable companion with a tender spirit, Roxy may be your perfect match. Don't forget to bring a leash and collar!

How this pet arrived: Guerro was brought in by Humane Law Enforcement on November 13, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Guerro, a handsome pup who's come a long way since arriving underweight - and he's already feeling much better! This handsome, energetic guy has a big personality and an even bigger zest for life. Guerro is smart and playful but can have a hard time keeping all that enthusiasm in check, so he's looking for a family ready to help him channel his energy through training, exercise, and plenty of mental enrichment. He can be a bit reactive to other dogs at first but often makes friends once he gets to know them. While he's done well with kids in the past, his jumpy, mouthy play style means he's looking for a home without children under 8. If you're looking for a fun, loyal, and lively companion who's always up for an adventure, Guerro might just be your guy! At SDHS:Guerro has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. Guerro is now ready for his new home!Excitable Dog: This pet requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about them.
