Deworming (puppies 2 sets). Flea medication up to date. Tick control up to date. Microchip. Microchip registration to new owner paid for. Collar. Temporary leash.

Story
Meet Patterson Patterson’s story started in a place no puppy should ever have to call home… hiding on the upper floors of a construction site. At just 6 months old, he was already surviving on his own—cowering in corners, darting away from people, and only coming out for scraps left behind. No trust. No safety. No understanding of the world around him. When he was humanely trapped, we hoped his story would turn quickly—that someone would come looking for him. But no one did. The shelter environment only shut him down further, and his future became uncertain… until the very person who helped save him stepped in again and gave him a second chance. Patterson arrived fearful, withdrawn, and checked out.But he was still just a puppy—and that curiosity started to break through. Watching other dogs play, get excited, and trust humans… something clicked. Slowly, he began to lean in.To explore.To hope. Today, Patterson has transformed from a scared little survivor into a young dog who is still figuring out the world—but is so ready to be part of it. He’s got that puppy energy, that goofy curiosity, and a heart that just wants to connect. He may not have had the foundation early on, but what he does have is sensitivity, eagerness to please, and the ability to learn quickly in the right environment.  Perks Incredibly sensitive and eager to please Playful, curious, and full of young dog energy Smart and highly trainable Can settle and relax after activity Still a baby at heart—goofy, fun, and figuring it all out  Needs Flight risk – requires secure handling at all times Must be crated when unattended A handler who's confident with leash control Awareness of doors, gates, and windows is critical Never off-leash in unfenced areas (for life) Continued training and structure will be important  Ideal Home Patterson would benefit from a home that's committed to structure, guidance, and continued training. His perfect adopter would be patient and understand dogs with limited early socialization, as well as have an active lifestyle to match his energy, with the ability to help him decompress. Someone who sees his past not as a limitation—but as part of his story. Patterson doesn’t need perfect… he just needs someone willing to show him what life was always supposed to be. ##1338996##

Hi, I`m Cielo. I`m a big cuddle bug who likes to be chillen right by your side, enjoying some love and attention :) I walk pretty good on the leash, staying right next to you when we walk and even sitting when we stop. I`m a little shy when I meet new dogs so slow introductions to new dogs would work best for me! Come visit me :)

Story
Oreo is one of nine puppies from an unexpected litter. Their mom showed up roaming the hills near our property very skinny and hungry. We started feeding her, she stayed with us, and before long we realized she was pregnant. We believe their mom is a Belgian Malinois or Malinois mix. We have cared for and socialized the puppies since birth.Oreo is the adventurer of the litter. Even before her eyes were open, she was always the puppy who wandered the farthest from the nest. As she has grown, that adventurous streak has only gotten stronger. She is usually the first to climb higher up the stairs or explore farther out into the yard.If there is a ruckus going on, Oreo is usually right in the middle of it. She loves starting wrestling matches with the bigger puppies and somehow usually comes out on top. She is one of the smaller puppies, but she has a big personality.

Story
How this pet arrived: This pet was brought in by our Humane Law Enforcement team on December 25, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you:Adorable Llama is searching for a family who will love her sweet, sensitive soul. She can be shy when meeting new people, but given time to open up at her own pace, she forms deep bonds with those who know her best. In our care, she's become very fond of her familiar handlers, seeking pets and chin scratches, checking in with them on walks and gently accepting treats. In her foster home, Llama has settled in to lounge around the house and relaxes quietly in her crate if ever left home alone. She would thrive best in a quiet home where she can soak up all of her family's attention as the only pet. She may not be a candidate for dog parks or other off-leash venues, but there are lots of other activities you can do together to strengthen your bond! With patience and lots of tasty treats, Llama will be a loving and loyal companion to her family. At SDHS:This pet has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. This pet is now ready for their new home! Primary Color: Sable Secondary Color: Black Weight: 69.8 Age: 8yrs 9mths 2wks
