Story
How this pet arrived: Scute was brought in by a community member on September 9, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Scute, an adorably playful pup in search of her loving new home! Scute can be a bit shy with meeting new people, but warms up quickly with a gentle and patient approach - and the help of some tasty treats, of course! Scute enjoys playing fetch, walks well on a leash and already knows "sit" and "paw." Her smart, gentle and calm demeanor makes her a lovely companion. Scute has been known to have big feelings around other dogs, so although she may not be a candidate for dog parks or other off-leash venues, there are lots of other activities you can do together to strengthen your bond! She is also requesting to be the only pup in your home so she can soak up all your love and attention. If you're looking for a loyal and loving companion, Scute could be your gal! Come meet her today! At SDHS:This pet has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. This pet is now ready for their new home!

Story
How Eviee arrived: Eviee was brought in by our Humane Law Enforcement team on 12/23/25. Why this pet is the one for you:Eviee is a sweet Aussie Shepherd-Blue Heeler mix with a gentle, shy nature at first meeting. She may take a little time to warm up, but a few tasty treats and kind pets quickly earn her trust. Once she's comfortable, her true personality shines-smart, attentive, and eager to engage. With her herding-dog smarts, Eviee thrives on mental stimulation and loves having a "job" to do, whether that's learning new tricks, solving puzzles, or helping her people. She's a loyal companion who blossoms with patience, kindness, and purpose. At SDHS:Eviee has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. Eviee is now ready for their new home!

Story
How Lika arrived: Lika was brought in by a community member on 11/08/25. Why Lika is the one for you:Lika is a gentle, sensitive girl who thrives with patient and understanding people who are willing to let her move at her own pace. She can be fearful and has some handling sensitivity, so she does best with calm, respectful interactions and a home that won't rush or push her before she's ready. With time and trust, Lika is able to form meaningful bonds and show her quieter, sweet side. She does well with other dogs, though she may show some resource guarding that will need mindful management. Lika would do best in a cat-free home due to her strong chasing instincts, and in a household with older children only (12+). With the right environment and compassionate guidance, Lika has the potential to blossom into a loyal and devoted companion. At SDHS:Lika has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. Lika is now ready for their new home! Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Black Weight: 47.8

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Kane's Comeback: From Tragedy to Triumph Sweet Kane has already lived through more in his young life than most dogs ever will. Struck by a car in a devastating head-on collision, Kane was left with a shattered jaw and a broken nostril. The impact nearly took his life — but this brave boy refused to give up. And neither did we. Thanks to the incredible team at TLC K9 Rescue, Kane was rushed into emergency care. Two CT scans revealed the extent of the trauma, and it was worse than anyone imagined: 21 embedded baby teeth and sharp bone fragments were trapped around his nasal passage, posing a serious risk of infection and further complications. Over the course of two intense surgeries, skilled veterinarians carefully removed every tooth and fragment, working tirelessly to give Kane the second chance he so clearly deserved. It was touch and go at times, but Kane’s resilience never wavered. Through every moment of pain, he wagged his tail, soaked up love, and showed us just how strong his spirit really is. Now, after weeks of healing, tender care, and a whole lot of love, Kane is not just surviving — he’s thriving. His jaw is healing beautifully. His breathing is clear. And most importantly, his heart is wide open, ready to finally experience the joy of a real forever home. Kane is a living reminder of what love, hope, and dedication can do. TLC K9 Rescue spared no expense and left no stone unturned to bring him back from the brink — and today, we are thrilled to announce: Kane is ready for adoption. If you're looking for a loyal companion with a heart as big as his comeback story, Kane might just be the one. Let’s give this special pup the happy ending he’s fought so hard to reach.

Astro is a happy, handsome boy with a gorgeous black-and-white coat, a smile that lights up the room, and the kind of loyalty you dream about. At around 1–2 years old, he’s in that perfect sweet spot: playful, curious, and full of love to give!

Astro would do best in a home where he can get lots of attention, playtime, and a bit of structure to help him keep shining. He’s already got a great start and just needs someone who’s ready to keep building that bond with him.
