Story
How this pet arrived:This pet was brought in by a Good Samaritan on November 5th, 2025. At SDHS:This pet has been vaccinated, microchipped and fixed. They are now ready for their new home! Why this pet is the one for you:Say hi to Haze! Haze is a sweet, active girl who needs a calm, patient home to help her feel safe and understood. New environments and unfamiliar people can be overwhelming for her, but with slow introductions, soft voices, and plenty of tasty treats, she warms up and shows her affectionate side. Once comfortable, Haze walks nicely on lease and enjoys pets. She's more of a "quiet home" kind of dog and would do best in a low-traffic setting with older children who can respect her space. Haze has met other dogs but prefers to keep interactions low-key, making her a better fit for a home without dog parks or off-leash social scenes. With structure, understanding, and gentle guidance, this lovely girl is sure to blossom into a loyal and loving companion for adopters who appreciate a sensitive soul with tons of potential. If you are looking for an active pup who will keep you on your toes, stop by our San Diego Campus and ask about Haze today!

Story
How this pet arrived: This pet was brought in by their previous owner on August 2, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Phoebe! This active gal is ready for her next adventure-and a family who can help her see that the big, wide world isn't such a scary place. Phoebe has a few favorite things in life: car rides (she really loves those), nice walks, relaxing baths, and tasty treats. She's crate-trained and finds comfort in having her own safe space. Phoebe does have a tendency to resource guard items from people, so her new family will need to manage this behavior and set her up for success. Because of this, Phoebe is looking for an adult-only home with people who are familiar with her breed. All household members should be present for the meet-and-greet to ensure it's a perfect match. Once she has time to decompress and settle in, Phoebe is sure to show her true, wonderful personality. Ready to make her part of your pack? Bring a leash, collar, and get ready to head home with Phoebe today! At SDHS:This pet has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed neutered. This pet is now ready for their new home!

Meet Remi! Remi is a loyal, smart, affectionate cattle dog mix who has been with me for 1.5 years. He is close to passing his Canine Good Citizen test at Markim Obedience Training. Remi loves adventure and has hiked up to 20 miles in the Sierras. He’s the perfect companion for outdoor activities! Remi thrives in a calm, structured home with no other pets or children. His ideal owner is experienced and patient, ready to continue his training. He needs a large fenced yard or regular park time for safe play and daily fetch for 20-45 minutes. After play, Remi is relaxed and cuddly. He can be reactive to other dogs and requires consistent, gentle management. Once bonded, he is deeply loyal and affectionate. My family loves him, but he must be the only animal in the home.
