Story
How this pet arrived: Scute was brought in by a community member on 9/9/2025. Why this pet is the one for you:Scute is a sweet pup who can be a little sensitive with handling and restraint and may act shy when meeting new people. With patience and understanding, her gentle personality shines through. She is looking for a home that can provide her with the structure, routine, and nourishment she needs, along with the time and space to build her confidence. Scute is not a fan of other dogs, so she'll need to be the only dog in the home, and also wouldn't be comfortable at the dog park or other high dog traffic areas. With the right support, Scute has the potential to grow into a loyal and loving companion. At SDHS: Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 41.6 Age: 4yrs 3mths 0wks

Story
Honey is 6.5 years old, 75lbs, and 45% German Shepard, 45% Australian Cattle Dog, & 10% other. She's energetic, loving, and very sweet. She loves to play fetch and is very smart, despite thinking she's the size of a lap dog. She prefers to be an only dog (as she gets jealous wanting all the love & kisses to herself), but does get along well with her furbrother, Zeus. She will bark at other dogs on a walk, but is truly just a big baby when she's off leash. She currently lives in a house with a toddler and is great with her. Lastly, she is high energy, so she would not be well suited in an apartment.

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!
