Story
How this pet arrived: Marcello was brought in by our Humane Law Enforcement team on November 4, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Marcello! Marcello is a sweet, affectionate goofball who loves his people and enjoys calm, happy moments together. He loves playing with toys, will bring the ball back to you for a game of fetch and will climb into your lap for a cuddle sesh! He's also a bit of a sensitive guy who appreciates gentle handling and clear communication, so he's looking for a quiet, adult-only home (kids 14+) where he can feel safe and understood. He's had positive interactions on walks with other dogs and is already showing how smart he is by rocking the early stages of muzzle training using positive reinforcement. He also knows "sit", "down" and "paw"! Marcello will do best with a dedicated dog owner who enjoys training and helping this handsome boy build confidence in exchange for a rewarding bond! With patience and kindness, Marcello is sure to be your new best buddy. Ask about adopting today! At SDHS:Marcello has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. He is now ready for his new home!

Story
This is very hard to write, but Im looking for the right home for my female dog, born December 2017. She is extremely loving and people-oriented and thrives on human connection. She is fully house trained, kennel trained, and knows sit, down, roll over, out, and “go to bed.” She loves walks, running, and the pool. She’s great going to stores, the beach, and dog-friendly restaurants, and is happiest following you around, laying by your feet, or sitting under your desk while you work. She can be selective with dogs and does best with calm, passive dogs. She walks well near other dogs but shouldn’t do on-leash greetings. Doggy daycare can work with the right group. She is very afraid of fireworks and fire alarms. I recently had a baby and can no longer give her the exercise and time she deserves, especially living in an apartment. My goal is to find her a loving, active home where she can truly thrive. 50% cattle dog

Story
THIS IS A COURTESY POSTING FOR ANOTHER RESCUE GROUP. TO MEET THIS DOG, CONTACT fciaadoptions@yahoo.com or call (619) 466-9137. Penny is a lovely 46-pound, 18-month-old Cattle Dog mix. DNA revealed that she is mostly Cattle Dog and Lab along with a variety of other breeds. Spayed and current on all vaccinations, she is good on a leash, affectionate, athletic, friendly, and smart. Penny came to us with a birth defect where her eye was too far up into the socket. After consultation with the Eye Clinic, it was recommended that her eye should be removed, and she is making a good recovery. She will need help with house-training with her new family. Penny is a very loving dog and gets along with people and other dogs, but she does not do well with cats. FCIA dogs cannot be adopted out of state. Please see FCIA web page (https://fcianimals.org/) for a list of adoption sites. Every potential adopter is required to fill out an adoption application, and the dog is placed in the home that would be most suited

Story
How this pet arrived: S'mores was brought in by a community member on December 20, 2025.Why this pet is the one for you:S'mores is a handsome boy with a heart full of wiggles and enthusiasm. This charming pup is full of personality and ready to share his joy with an active person or family who's looking for a canine companion to keep up with them. With his happy energy and eager spirit, S'mores is the kind of dog who makes every day a little brighter. As a working-breed type, S'mores is definitely not a couch potato. He's looking for a home that enjoys long walks, hikes, outdoor adventures, and quality hang-out time together. S'mores is still learning and will benefit from continued training, structure, and mental enrichment to help him thrive and channel his energy in positive ways. He's at his best when he has a job to do - whether that's learning new skills, exploring new trails, or being your adventure buddy. It is important to note that S'mores has an unsteady and wobbly gait. The cause of this is currently uncertain, and we recommend following up with your veterinarian if you notice any worsening or have further concerns. S'mores will benefit from patience, consistency, and positive guidance as he continues growing into a truly great dog. Building trust and understanding will be key to helping him succeed. Children in the home must be 8 years or older and must be present for interaction. If you're ready to let this wiggly boy trot right into your life, S'mores can't wait to meet you! Please bring a leash and collar for a safe journey home.Excitable Dog: S'mores requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about him.

How this pet arrived: Lulu was brought in by a community member on February 4, 2026. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Lulu! Lulu is an excitable, high-energy girl who came to us as a stray, so her past is a bit of a mystery. What we do know is that she's full of enthusiasm and can jump when she's excited, so her future family should be ready to help her manage arousal and continue working on her manners. Lulu will do best with active adopters who can give her structure, training, and plenty of outlets for her energy./p> At SDHS:Lulu has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. She is now ready for her new home! Primary Color: Tri Color Weight: 49.4 Age: 6yrs 0mths 1wks
