Story
Meet Nahla 💛 Nahla is a 1-year-old, 18-lb sweetheart who is ready to find the family she’s been dreaming of. This shy-but-super-sweet girl may take a moment to warm up, but once she does, she becomes your little shadow and expert snuggle buddy. Nahla absolutely loves being part of a pack and thrives around other dogs. She does great with children and enjoys having furry friends to follow and learn from. Toys are one of her favorite things — and every now and then she treats herself to an enthusiastic case of the zoomies that will definitely make you smile! On walks, Nahla can be a bit nervous at first, but she looks to her human for reassurance and guidance. She’s very teachable and eager to please, and with a patient, loving home, her confidence will continue to blossom beautifully. Fair warning: Nahla has a playful mischievous streak and may occasionally moonlight as a sock thief 😂 — but honestly, it just adds to her charm. This gentle girl is simply looking for her place in the family and someone to love with her whole heart. If you’re ready for a loyal snuggle bug who wants to be part of your pack, Nahla might just be your perfect match. Quick Facts:     •    1 year old     •    18 lbs     •    Good with dogs     •    Good with kids     •    Loves toys & zoomies     •    Shy at first, very sweet     •    Professional sock collector ✨ Nahla is ready to find her forever home — could it be yours?

Story
How this pet arrived: This pet was brought in by her previous owner on February 23, 2026. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Nana - a shy little sweetheart with big "soft once she trusts you" energy. Nana grew up with lots of small dogs and is still figuring out the big, noisy world, so she's looking for a calm, quiet home required with a confident doggy buddy to show her the ropes. She's good with cats, required kids to be 12+ if in home, and is currently learning adorable skills like chin rest. She's not leash-walking yet, so she'll need a secure outdoor space and a patient adopter who lets her go at her own pace-no rushing, just bonding through snacks, play, and gentle vibes. If you love a slow-burn friendship that turns into something special, Nana's your girl At SDHS:This pet has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. This pet is now ready for her new home!Shy/Fearful Dog: This pet requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about them.

Story
How this pet arrived: Canela was brought in by their previous owner February 23, 2026. Why this pet is the one for you: Meet Canela! Canela is a sweet, silly girl looking for a peaceful home where she can take life at her own pace. She's searching for a calm, quiet space with minimal hustle and bustle, plus a secure private yard for her outdoor adventures since leash walking isn't her thing right now. Canela came from a home with lots of other dogs, so she'll need a canine buddy or two in her new home to help her feel confident and comfortable. She may be a little bashful at first, but with time, patience, tasty treats, playtime, and gentle social support, her fun personality will shine. Canela would do best in a home with children 12 and older who can respect her space while she settles in. At SDHS:Canela has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. She is now ready for her new home! Primary Color: Brown Weight: 11.2 Age: 3yrs 1mths 1wks

Story
How this pet arrived: Cassie was brought in by her previous owner on February 11, 2026. Why this pet is the one for you: Meet Cassie your future favorite cuddle companion! Cassie is as sweet and snuggly as they come. All she really wants in life is to curl up right next to you (or on you!) and soak in the love. She's the kind of dog who will quietly find her way into your lap and stay there, perfectly content just being close. If you're looking for a true "wherever you are, she is" kind of companion, Cassie is exactly that. She's also wonderfully well-mannered. Cassie walks beautifully on a leash and does great with potty training when she's on a consistent schedule and gets regular outings. She may need dental work in the future and she does need daily medication for dry eye, but she's been a champ about it! She's an easygoing, gentle presence in the home: quiet, affectionate, and incredibly lovable. Cassie is the total package - sweet, cuddly, and absolutely adorable. If your idea of happiness is a warm, loving snuggle buddy by your side, she's ready to be yours. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 12.19 Age: 8yrs 1mths 2wks

He came to us as a stray, so we don't know much about his past, but he's already showing off a sweet, lively personality. Mickey will likely need some refreshers on potty training and basic routines, but he's eager to learn and ready to bond with his forever family. Small in size but big in personality, he's sure to bring lots of love (and a few laughs) to his new home. At SDHS:Mickey has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered.

Story
This pretty little girl Chloe needs a home and she is located in San Marcos, CA! A friend of mine who fosters for our rescue took in this little girl from the owner so she wouldn’t end up in the shelter but she has 3 tiny dogs of her own. Chloe was afraid of the the SMALLER dogs so she was trying to protect herself from them, therefore she has to be rehomed or the Littles can get hurt. She really needs to be in a home without other dogs unless they are passive and bigger than her. Chloe is an Alpha female and is good with some dogs but not others ….but she LOVES LOVES people!!… and wants love, attention and cuddles and comes to you for love. I would say she’s about 11 pounds and the size of a bigger Chihuahua or smaller Chiweenie. Although this won’t be through our rescue as it’s a different breed, if you are interested in meeting this cutie who has plenty of energy please let us know. If you have any questions please contact Lori at minpinfifi@gmail.com
