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 Benji, a Blue Heeler–Husky mix with a loving heart and an energetic, playful spirit. He has been a cherished part of our family since 2023, and we love him deeply. Benji thrives on activity, playtime, and having space to run and explore. Unfortunately, due to changes in our living situation, we are no longer able to provide the environment he truly needs to be his happiest self. We now live in a smaller area without the land and space Benji deserves. Making this decision has been incredibly difficult, but our love for Benji means putting his needs first. He deserves a home where he can run freely, play often, and continue to share his endless affection with someone who understands and appreciates his energetic nature. Benji’s love and loyalty are priceless, and it means the world to us to find him a forever home where he can thrive. We are hopeful he will find a caring, dog-loving owner who can give him the life he deserves.

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. 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: This pet requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about them.

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

Story
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. .
