Story

🌸 Sweet, shy little Maltese looking for a calm and loving home. This gentle 20-lb Maltese girl , Libby she is one of the sweetest souls you could meet. She is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, and she has a very calm and peaceful nature. She is extremely shy at first and will need a patient adopter who understands sensitive dogs and will give her the time she needs to feel safe. Once she feels comfortable, she is incredibly sweet and loving. Her ideal home would be a quiet house with a yard, preferably with another kind and confident dog who can help show her that the world is safe and help build her confidence. Because she is so shy, a calm household is very important. A home with adults only or older, quiet children would be best. She would do wonderfully with someone retired or someone who works from home and can provide a peaceful environment. This little girl doesn’t ask for much — just patience, kindness, and a gentle heart. In return, she will become a deeply loyal and loving companion. If you believe you could give this special girl the calm, safe home she deserves, please reach out to learn more. 💗 if interested go to www.arrfsandiego.org and fill out the adoption application for her

Story

How this pet arrived: Ojay was brought in by Field Service officer on February 23, 2026. Why this pet is the one for you:Say hello to Ojay! Ojay is a gentle, thoughtful pup whose sweet personality is starting to blossom a little more every day. He can be a bit shy when meeting new people, but with a little time and patience, his charm really begins to shine through. Once he feels safe and comfortable, you'll start to see just how special this sensitive boy is. Ojay will thrive in a calm home where he can settle in at his own pace and build confidence. Ojay must go to a home with another friendly, confident dog of a similar size. Having a canine companion helps him feel safe and gives him a role model for everyday dog life. With a dog buddy by his side, Ojay gains confidence and feels much more comfortable exploring the world around him. A quieter household will suit him best, somewhere with a steady routine and not too much hustle and bustle. If there are kids in the home, they should be 12 or older and join a meet-and-greet so Ojay can make sure everyone passes the vibe check. Ojay is still learning some of the basics, including leash walking, but he's eager to keep learning with someone who will cheer him on along the way. With patience, encouragement, and a steady routine, Ojay will continue to grow and show just how sweet and special he truly is.Shy/Fearful Dog: Ojay requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about them.At SDHS:Ojay has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. He is now ready for his new home! Primary Color: White Weight: 10.4 Age: 5yrs 1mths 1wks

Story

Meet this sweet 11lb cuddle companion—a 7- 8-year-old Maltese/Shih Tzu mix who loves being close to her person, long naps in the lap, belly rubs, and treats, lots of 'em. She came from Mexico and is still learning to feel safe, so she can be shy at first. Once comfortable, she bonds deeply and is incredibly affectionate. She’s not fully house trained yet and would do best as the only pet, with a calm, patient, experienced owner. She’s a low-key, gentle dog with lots of potential in the right home—not for a first-time owner, but a wonderful companion for someone who understands sensitive dogs. We’re committed to finding her the right fit and can help support her transition.

Story

Hello World! I’m Cute, Cuddly and Completely Charming Cami, an adorable little bichon girl who is full of life, love and puppy energy! I’m 18 months old, weigh 15 pounds and stand about 14 inches tall — which Mom says is the perfect size for cuddling (and I definitely agree!). I love everybody and am always excited to see what’s going on around me. Mom says I’m sweet, playful, attentive, eager to please and super smart (and I think she’s absolutely right!). I also LOVE to give kisses, look right into your eyes and make you fall in love with me. (It works every time!) One of my very favorite things in the whole wide world is snuggling. I adore curling up on laps, rolling onto my back for belly rubs and soaking up all the love I can get. When I’m not cuddling, I’m busy playing! I trot around proudly with my toys (every toy is my new best friend!) and I love to play with my doggy brother — sometimes I even “stalk” him to get a game started. It’s all in good fun! I’m an active girl who enjoys long walks (over a mile, please!) needs more leash training and would really, really love another young, playful pup in my forever home. I get along well with other dogs and have lots of fun trying to engage them in play. I just have a big zest for life and sometimes I get a little too excited — especially when my people come home. I might jump or give playful little nips, but if you help me settle down with a calm voice or a gentle hold, I do much better. I’m still learning how to regulate my excitement, and I promise I’m working hard on it! I ride nicely in the car (yay for adventures!) and I’m learning my house manners. I’m partially housebroken and getting better every day with consistency and praise. I also know some basics like “no,” “off,” and I come when my name is called. Mom says I’m very smart, so with a little guidance I’ll keep improving quickly! Because I’m still such a young, puppy-like girl, I’m looking for a family who has experience with dogs and is excited to continue my training. I’m full of potential and just need the right people to help me shine. My Ideal Home: *Someone home often who can help guide me *Another young, active and playful dog would be amazing *A home committed to training and helping me learn to manage my excitement *Older, dog-savvy children or an adult home would be best while I continue learning Experience Level: *Have had dogs as an adult *Recent/current dog experience preferred *Commitment to ongoing training I’m a special girl with so much love to give. I’m sweet, cuddly, playful and I bond closely with my people. I’ll look into your eyes, give you kisses and remind you every single day how much I adore you. I’m working very hard to become the very best version of myself so I can find my forever family — one who will love me, guide me and make me part of their life. So if you’re looking for a loving, energetic, snuggly little companion (with a playful sparkle and a heart of gold), please complete an application and ask for me. I’ll be waiting with a wagging tail and lots of kisses! Tail wags and cuddles, Cute, Cuddly and Charming Cami 💕

Story

Fostered in Sacramento Hello World, I’m Optimistic and O’mazing Oscar, a handsome cream colored three year old pup (Bichon/Cocker or cockapoo) who tips the scales at 20 pounds and is now living the life I was meant to live. I became a FurKid when my owner move into something called “assisted living.” I wasn’t allowed to join him which made me sad but some Bichon FurKid Angels intervened and now I’m very glad and grateful! My foster Mom wants you to know all about mee so let me start by telling you what I do best: it’s called Fetch. If you say, “Oscar, find your ball,” I’ll search, locate, and proudly deliver it right back to you. It’s my superpower (and Mom says I’m really, really good at it!). I also know commands like “sit,” “ball,” my name (very important), and I’m now learning “off.” The secret to my learning? A desire to please and these special things called “treats.” I am extremely motivated by treats. I have an excellent nose and can detect a snack in your pocket from impressive distances. Don’t worry — I take treats very gently from your hand. I may be enthusiastic, but I am a gentleman! When you talk to me, I tilt my head to the side, deeply considering everything you’re saying. Between me and you, I am probably thinking about snacks. But — I AM listening. I’m playful, curious, and very loving. I enjoy yard time, deck sitting, and “squirrel supervision” responsibilities. Watching the world from the safety of my home base- why that’s an excellent hobby. I will alert you if I see something noteworthy — a bike, a car, a passerby.,, you get the picture! I’m observant and have found my voice. Inside the house and yard, I’m confident and comfortable. I am housebroken and go to the door when I need to go out -- and come back when I’m ready to come in. I walk nicely on my leash in the yard, but the big outside world is still a little overwhelming for me. When it’s time to walk beyond the yard… I become afraid. Mom’s working with me on this and I need a patient human in my forever home who will help build my confidence with gentle, positive experiences. I haven’t seen much of the world yet, but I’m curious about it and just need a little more time. I do well with other dogs, especially ones that can show me the way. I may be fine with a confident dog friend or as your one-and-only. Because I’m still young and can be a little “mouthy” (in a playful way, never biting), I do best with older, dog-savvy kids. Did I mention that I ride nicely in a crate and settle down quickly when riding in the car? Well I do! When I’m left at home, I relax quietly in my crate too. No fuss. No drama! My Ideal Home: -A patient family to give me time to become the best dog I can be – Someone home most of the time – Adults or a family with older dog-savvy kids – A confident dog friend to help me learn or I can be the only pup in the home Experience level: – Have had dogs as an adult – Recent/current dog experience a plus I’m smart, affectionate, and eager to please. And I have so much potential. I’m looking for someone who understands that underneath my sometimes cautious approach is a playful, devoted companion who wants to learn, explore, and bond deeply with his special person. Give me patience. Give me guidance. And maybe… give me a treat. And I’ll give you a loving heart for the rest of our lives. Tail wags and promises Optimistic and O’mazing Oscar
