Ready to add a dash of adventure and a sprinkle of serenity to your life? Meet Hope, the perfect blend of the spirited weekend warrior and a mellow homebody. She’s always up for an outdoor escapade, whether it’s hiking in the mountains, running along the beach, or exploring new trails. Her contagious enthusiasm for life make every outing an unforgettable experience.
But Hope isn’t just about high-energy adventures; she also has a mellow side that makes her the ideal companion for those seeking a laid back cuddle buddy. She’s more than happy to curl up beside you to binge your favorite shows. Her ability to switch from active to calm makes her a perfect fit for any lifestyle.
Hope’s love for people is truly boundless. She greets everyone with a wagging tail and a heart full of affection, making her a hit with family and friends alike. This intelligent and well-trained canine is a walking testament to the bond between humans and dogs. On walks, she’s a dream on a leash, strutting her stuff with grace and confidence. Plus, she’s fully potty trained, adding to her list of stellar qualities.
While Hope can be left home alone without any worries, she’s always excited to reunite with her favorite humans. Her independence means she doesn’t need constant attention, yet her social nature ensures she’s always ready for a cuddle or a play session when you are.
However, Hope’s star shines brightest when she’s the only animal in the home. She loves being the center of attention and doesn’t share the spotlight well with other pets. While she’s not a dog park kind of gal and should stay on leash around other dogs, she’s perfectly fine walking near them without any issues.
If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, and versatile companion, Hope is the perfect match. She’s the ideal blend of independence and sociability, making her a wonderful addition to a variety of homes. Are you ready to give Hope the forever home she deserves? Come meet her today and see why she’s the perfect mix of adventure and affection!
If you are interested in adopting Hope, please contact Taylor at 407-247-4844.

One of RCHS' main goals is the adoption of animals to permanent, loving homes. RCHS' adoption process is tailored to find the best match between pets and people.
HERE ARE THE STEPS YOU'LL GO THROUGH IN THE ADOPTION PROCESS:
Before you can see (that is, pet, cuddle, walk, and get to know) any animal you've seen in our kennels, we'll ask you to complete some paperwork. This paperwork must be completed first in order to minimize stress for you and the animals. Our process includes asking questions in order to make the best match between animal and owner. We like to gain a better understanding about your expectations, past experiences, and current animals at home.
Once all the paperwork has been satisfactorily completed, you may handle and visit the animal you're interested in. You'll have a counseling session with a knowledgeable member of our staff who will fill you in on the history and needs of that animal, and his feeding and exercise requirements. You can ask your counselor any questions about spaying or neutering, housetraining, obedience training, scratching (in cats), veterinary care, how to deal with fleas and ticks, and anything else you can think of.
You will be asked to sign an adoption contract and pay an adoption fee. We will provide you with a list of all items and medical treatments that are included in your adoption fee.

More about this shelter
Our Mission:
Rancho Coastal Humane Society is dedicated to saving lives of abandoned companion animals, promoting adoption into loving homes and offering education programs and support services that inspire and strengthen the human-animal bond.
Rancho Coastal Humane Society (RCHS) was founded in 1960 by animal lover Maria K. Lloyd who purchased property off a small dirt road in Encinitas, California. At that time, the shelter was home to dogs, cats, birds, goats, sheep and even a burro named Milton. Today, that dirt road is I-5, but the shelter still operates out of the same little yellow house.
RCHS is well-known for its personalized pet adoption process and humane education programs. RCHS is also recognized for services that strengthen the human-animal bond, including the Animal Safehouse Program, the Community Pet Food Bank, Pet-Assisted Therapy and Pet Loss Support programs, and community outreach that provides a “helping paw” to people in crisis. At RCHS, we believe everyone should be able to keep their beloved pets safe, healthy and by their sides.
A member of the San Diego Animal Welfare Coalition, RCHS abides by the pledge that NO healthy, treatable animal will ever be euthanized for time or space. Our shelter stands with the Coalition and abides by the Asilomar Accord when it comes to serving this community and its animals!
Based on statistical reporting through the national database, Shelter Animals Count, RCHS currently maintains a 100% Live Release or Save Rate. This refers to the percentage of animals leaving the shelter either through adoption, transfer or return to owner.
At Rancho Coastal Humane Society, we believe that Every Animal Deserves a Tomorrow®.
