Story
How Blue arrived: Blue was brought in by his previous owner on November 15, 2025. Why Blue is the one for you:Meet Blue! Blue is an active, adventurous dog who loves getting out and about. As a herding breed, he'll thrive with a family familiar with the needs and quirks of herding dogs. The good news? Much of the training is already done-Blue is both leash-trained and potty-trained. He does well with respectful dogs, though he has no known history with cats. Blue can be a bit protective of spaces he considers important, so his new family should be prepared to help manage this resource-guarding behavior. Because of this, children in the home should be 5 years or older, and they'll need to be present during the meet-and-greet.Blue's heart is in the right place-he just needs a confident, understanding family to guide him. If you're ready to welcome this bright, energetic boy into your life, bring a leash and collar and take Blue home today! At SDHS:Blue has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. Blue is now ready for his new home! Primary Color: Black Dapple Weight: 53.6 Age: 6yrs 6mths 3wks

Story
How this pet arrived: Spicoli was brought in by a community member on November 26, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you: Meet Spicoli! This playful pup cruised into our care as a stray, and we're still getting to know this handsome, bright boy. Spicoli is full of energy and enthusiasm-sometimes a little too much-which can show up as jumpy greetings or strong pulling on leash. With positive-reinforcement training, he learns quickly and loves engaging his busy brain. He can be sensitive with certain types of handling, so partnering with a fear-free veterinarian will help him feel confident during vet visits. Once he warms up, his fun-loving personality shines, especially when treats or activities are involved. Spicoli will thrive with a family who can offer him plenty of mental and physical enrichment. If you're looking for a spirited, trainable companion with a big heart and a bright mind, Spicoli might be your guy. At SDHS:Spicoli has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. Spicoli is now ready for his new home!Excitable Dog: Spicoli requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about them.

Story
How this pet arrived: Santana was brought in by Humane Law Enforcement on May 21, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Santana - the smooth, soulful pup who's ready to rock your world! A little shy at first, Santana prefers a slow jam when meeting new people and places. Give him gentle vibes and calm energy, and he'll warm up faster than a guitar solo. This rockstar's heart is won with treats, toys, and a good game of fetch - he'll chase them with the enthusiasm of a lead guitarist hitting the perfect riff! Once Santana knows you, he'll trade his shy act for snuggles, pets, and all the affection he can give. Santana has had doggy friends in care, but a dog-to-dog intro on site is required to ensure he's a good match if you have a current dog in the home. Because he's a sensitive ballad at heart, he'd do best in a home without young kids under 12. With patience, love, and a steady beat, Santana could become your ultimate bandmate, cuddle companion, and best friend for life! Come meet this little rockstar today - he might just steal the spotlight in your heart! At SDHS:Santana has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. He is now ready for his new home!

Story
My husband and I are looking for a new home for our sweet boy Spade. He is a year and half old and is very loyal/loving/protective to his owners and family. He will need someone willing to train and socialize him. He has not had a lot of experience out in the everyday world and is a very anxious and reactive pup at the moment. He is very scared of new people and dogs, but once he opens up and is comfortable, he is nothing but a sweetheart! My husband and I are currently expecting our first child and unfortunately are unable to give him the proper training to help with his anxieties.With his current behavior we are worried about bringing a newborn into the mix at this time. With the proper training and help with his confidence we know he will make the perfect addition to any family. Spade is fully crate and potty trained and is very motivated by treats! He is a very smart pup and a quick learner. He is comfortable in apartment spaces and does very well with cats.

Story
How this pet arrived: Alfie was brought in by their previous owner on November 23, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Alfie! Alfie is a lively, playful boy who loves toys, enrichment, and anything that keeps his busy brain happy. He may start off a bit shy, so he appreciates slow introductions and the space to build trust at his own pace. A low-traffic home with kids 12+ would suit him best, and make sure everyone is present to meet him. He can get a little nippy when he's excited, but once he's comfortable, he enjoys grooming, petting, and even baths. And when playtime is over, he'll happily drop his toy and settle right down. Alfie has successfully lived with a calm dog friend before, but rambunctious canine roommates are definitely a no-go. If you have another dog, slow, controlled introductions are a must. He's also proudly crate trained, giving him a cozy spot to relax. If you're looking for a playful companion who thrives with patience and structure, Alfie might just be the perfect match! Shy/Fearful Dog: This pet requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about them. Primary Color: Red Secondary Color: White Weight: 43.6 Age: 5yrs 8mths 2wks

Story
Small Mini Australian Shepherd. 6 years old. I unfortunately never had him professionally trained so he has some behavioral issues. I think with the proper environment, a large yard, and someone who can dedicate a lot of time to him, he would be problem free. He would thrive in a home with a large yard, no children and not cats. He usually gets along with other dogs, just NOT huskies for some reason. He needs someone with a lot of experience with dogs and a very good understanding of dog training. A certified dog trainer will definitely be prioritized as top choice.
