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

Meet Sassie! She is around 3 years old and we believe she is a mix of Australian Kelpie and Terrier. Sassie is good with other dogs, always ready to play. She is also great with kids and even is respectful of the cat in her foster home. She is medium energy, enjoying chasing a toy or ball but also always down to relax at your side. She loves to go for walks and is working on her leash manners. She is housetrained and sleeps quietly in her crate at night. If you think you are ready to add to your family by adopting Sassie then fill out an adoption questionnaire on our website today!
