My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

How this pet arrived:
This pet was brought in by a community member.

Why this pet is the one for you:
This handsome lady, Myrtle, has changed a lot since being with us. She arrived nervous (who wouldn't be in the situation?) and spent several days being cautious and shy. She has bonded with her main staff person. She is so excited to see "her" staff person and she is so good as staff person leashes her up for a walk or to go to the play yard. Myrtle loves the play yard where she would like to play non-stop fetch if someone would keep throwing the ball. She gets the zoomies in the play yard which are funny to watch and do not last long. Myrtle will need a dog savvy new person who understands positive reinforcement training techniques to finish the progress that Myrtle has made. Myrtle still needs to learn consistent house training and more basic commands before she gets her gold star for being a good dog. She will need outdoor space for running and zooming. She will want a warm good sized inside space for wandering to wherever her person is. Myrtle is a loyal type of dog who will want to be near her people and not left alone for long periods. Do you have the space and the heart and the willingness to give this to Myrtle? If so, come to our shelter and meet Myrtle.

More about this shelter

San Diego Humane Society, an open-admission shelter, is creating a more humane world by inspiring compassion and advancing the welfare of animals and people. Our lifesaving safety net has helped San Diego become the largest city in the U.S. to keep healthy and treatable shelter animals from being euthanized. We are a private, independent, nonprofit organization that is not affiliated with any other humane society or society for the prevention of cruelty to animals.

With campuses in El Cajon, Escondido, Oceanside, Ramona and San Diego, we provide animal services for 14 cities within San Diego County. We not only care for 50,000 animals in our communities but also share the expertise we have gained through our innovative programs with shelters nationwide so they can save more lives in their communities.

While our influence is expanding nationally, our top priority is meeting the needs of San Diego. We provide exceptional care for all animals through world-class veterinary medicine, shelter and most of all: love.
