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
How this pet arrived: Marcello was brought in by our Humane Law Enforcement team on November 4th, 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's 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. Marcello will do best with an experienced dog owner who enjoys training and helping this handsome boy build confidence-he's not for first-time owners, but he is for someone ready for a rewarding bond! With patience and kindness, Marcello is sure to be your best new buddy! Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 43 Age: 3yrs 8mths 0wks

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

These pups are in Oceanside, California too!

Details
Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
How this pet arrived: Alfie was brought in by his 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! At SDHS:Alfie has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. He is now ready for his new home! Shy/Fearful Dog: Alfie requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about him. Primary Color: Red Secondary Color: White Weight: 43.6 Age: 5yrs 9mths 2wks

Rucca is an incredibly loyal dog that has been with our family for some incredible years. She’s very smart and obedient and makes for a perfect companion. She loves to be outside on walks / runs and equally loves to cuddle up on the couch. She is not the wild crazy type of Aussie, but the smart chill type. She’s 11 years old and fully trained and mature. We’d love to see her go to a great home, and will provide all records, food, accessories etc. .
