Story
Meet Shelby This sweet 3-year-old girl has had a tough journey. Shelby was once adopted, but sadly, her person passed away. After that, she was boarded at a kennel facility in Spring Valley, San Diego — and no one ever came back for her. Shelby is shy and timid, but behind those gentle eyes is a heart that just wants to feel safe and loved again. She’s been living in a kennel for far too long and deserves a patient, kind person who can show her what it means to have a real home. The Heroic Tail Rescue is stepping in to help Shelby find her forever family — and will even provide free training if needed to help her adjust and build confidence. If you’re ready to give Shelby the love and security she’s been waiting for, please send us a message or apply online at www.theheroictail.orgOctober 6, 2025, 2:30 am

Story
Hi, I’m Rosy. When I was just a baby somebody threw me in the trash , I was scared, alone, hungry, and thirsty. Finally a nice lady found me and took me home. I thought I was finally safe. But she gave me to somebody without knowing much about them and they let me get hit with a car. I was in a lot of pain for ten days without medicine or vet care. Finally my mom found out about me and came and got me. She took me to the vet and my leg got fixed. She takes good care of me and I have a big sister I love to play with. We have so much fun playing with toys, wrestling, and going for walks. I love swimming at the beach, digging in the sand, and expliring. learned how to go potty outside and my mom and sister are teaching me new things every day. I am ready to go to my forever home now. I would like a home with another dog, I get lonely without company. If you would like to know more about me email my mom at dgobe9@hotmail.com

Story
How this pet arrived: This pet was brought in by our Humane Law Enforcement team. Why this pet is the one for you:Hi ya'all! My name is Jumbo and I am searching for my forever home! I have been in my wonderful Foster Home for over 5 months and would love to meet my forever family.Could that be you? My Foster Mom keeps telling me to be patient because she promises me that they are out there somewhere looking for a good boy like me!I AM a very good boy! I love to run and do zoomies in my giant yard. I also enjoy chasing squirrels and lizards! Not sure what I'd do if I caught them but the chase sure is fun!I am calm in the house and also like to chill with my hoomans, either in the house or in the yard.My Foster Mom thinks I'd be okay with other dogs when properly introduced. I do have a foster sister that I have lived with for a long time. She's more like my real sister as we lived together before being in Foster care. Oh, her name is Natasha! Anyway, about me, of course. My Foster Mom doesn't know if I've been around cats or kids. I'm a Heeler mix and am bred to herd. So kids older than 10 who can respect that trait would be fine.My Foster Mom is currently working with me on leash training and she says I'm doing good but suggests further training.I do stress out a little in a vehicle and don't like being in a crate. So going for quick short trips would help.I am a good boy in the house and don't have accidents as long as someone lets me out when I need to go. I take several naps during the day but sleep really good on my own bed at night.I am also good about detecting snakes! I will stand way back and bark and look at the house until my Foster Dad comes out and catches it. I know better than to mess with them!! My sister Natasha does the same thing with me! We're hero's in our Foster Home! Please consider adding me to your family. I'd really like to find my forever home! Could that be you?Thank you,Jumbo At SDHS:This pet has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed/neutered. This pet is now ready for their new home!
