Story
Meet Jellybean Meet Jellybean, an adorable roughly 10 month Doberman stuffy mix.She is friendly with all size dogs and loves kids. Jellybean is great on a leash, and is not much of a puller. Jellybean is currently working on her potty skills, and has yet to have an accident in the house. Jellybean is a quick learner, is picking up commands and redirects to toys rather than chewing on household things. Wow! She has expected puppy behavior (occasionally whining in crate, energetic, picking up things she shouldn’t, etc). This girl is very loving and loves attention from her humans. She would do well as a solo pet too, is more keen to human attention than another dog’s. Overall, Jellybean is a good and her foster family is beyond impressed with her behavior so far! If interested in learning more about this dog & setting up a potential meet & greet, please fill out our adoption application. https://www.underdogheroes.org/applytoadopt

Story
How this pet arrived: This pet was brought in by their previous owner on April 2, 2025 Why this pet is the one for you:Kovu is an adventure-ready pup looking for his next great journey! This active boy would make an excellent hiking and running buddy, always up for exploring the outdoors by your side. In his previous home, he mastered leash and potty training, so a lot of the work is already done. Kovu has done well with respectful dogs of a similar size, though he can get a little overexcited when meeting new ones. As for cats? Well he would rather pass, they're just too fun to chase! Strangers? He doesn't believe in them-just future friends waiting to give him belly rubs! He can have some trouble controlling his excitement at times, and would benefit from continued positive reinforcement training. It is important to ensure your home is puppy-proofed and ample chew toys are offered for this active boy. If you're looking for an enthusiastic companion to keep up with your active lifestyle, Kovu is your guy. Make sure to bring the entire household along to meet him (including any children), and take this handsome pup home today! At SDHS:This pet has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed/neutered. This pet is now ready for their new home!Excitable Dog: This pet requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about them.

Story
Meet Rue! At 8-9 months old, Rue is already an absolute snuggle bug who is sweet and has medium energy for a pup her age! Rue is the perfect mix of playing when the time is right, and relaxing at home with her people. Rue is already potty trained, crate trained, and enjoys sharing her toys and treats with other pups in the house! Rue might need a little help learning to play gently at times, as this big girl doesn’t quite know her own strength yet.

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
I sadly need to rehome my dog because of moving issues, I cant take her to my home in Puerto Rico because she can’t go on the plane and me and my wife have tried everything to get her there safely and we cant. She is a Boxer mix and she has the personality of a Boxer! She loves to play, very energetic, surprisingly loves baths, maybe a little too much, and with enough care and love she will be the perfect house pet for anyone. She is currently not medically updated since I had surgery and I dont have the strength nor time to take her, I will 100% help out with her shots if willing to adopt her. Im looking for someone that understands how this breed is and gives her the attention and love needed!
