Story
Penelope is what we call a `head scratcher` dog here at the shelter. Staff and volunteers can`t figure out why she`s so often overlooked because she ticks all the boxes of what we look for in a great family dog. She`s not too big or too small, she`s not a puppy or a senior, she is a rockstar out on numerous day fosters and has cuddly fur and that adorable floppy ear!In all of the feedback we get from her many day foster friends, everyone mentions how sweet and social she is. She even went to a kids birthday party where she got swarmed and handled it like a champ. She`s also fun loving and active and loves to play at the beach and even go for a swim.Come take Penelope out for the day--or forever!

Story
Hi! My name is Blaze and I'm at the Santa Barbara Campus. I'm a 1 year old male pit bull mix who is eager for a new home! I was here when I was a puppy and adopted into a lovely home that unfortunately did not work out at no fault of my own. They worked on basic manner training with me and I did really well in the home. I am a bit high energy and would benefit from an active household that has a yard, although it is not required for me as long as my energy needs are met physically and mentally. I do well with other dogs and do love to rough play as well as co existing with them after I have burnt off my energy. I love every person I meet and have lots of confidence! Interested in meeting me? Adoption Centers are open daily 12-4:30pm, closed Wednesdays. Adoptions are on a first-come first served basis. For more information please email Adopt@SBHumane.org or call 805-964-4777. When I am adopted, I will have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. My adopters will receive a certificate for a free veterinary exam and our partners at Purina will provide a supply of food for my first few days at home.

Story
HI - I'M CORDELIA! I'm a happy and compact 9-year-old bluenose pittie-mix girl with a wonderful smile! I weigh about 45 lbs, and am a sweet and independent girl. I don't act like I'm 9 as I love to play fetch and retrieve the ball - I'm very active! I have been waiting for a couple years for the right home! If you adopt me, I'll be your shadow and follow you wherever you go. I would do best in a home with a single person who can be my devoted companion, or an active couple who loves to walk, hike, and go on outings. My favorite thing to do is play ball! I am obsessed with playing fetch so would do best in a home with a yard - if at all possible, though it's not a necessity if you can take me someplace to play! I prefer to be the only dog but that doesn't mean I should be overlooked, because I am such a good girl. I'm not great with cats, however! Much like cats, I love attention and affection, but I love it on my own terms, once I know and trust you. I'm in good health overall but have a few lumps that don't bother me, so am anxious to get into a home soon, where I can be loved and doted on. Can you foster or adopt me?

Story
HI - I'M GABE! I'm a handsome 5-year-old blue-and-white Pit Bull Terrier in need of a home! I'm truly adorable, with my short legs and heart-shaped nose. I love people and love going on road trips, walks, and hikes. I also love the car and would make a great co-pilot. I could play ball all day long so be prepared! I'm not the greatest fan of most dogs, so would do best as the king of my castle with people who can dote on me. And I do fine with some cats but not others, so will probably do best in a home without any cats, too. I weigh about 60 lbs., and am currently in need of a foster or forever home. Please email for an application.

WOOF - I'm sweet and happy Dorothy! I'm a 4-year-old female brown brindle & white Pit Bull Terrier in need of a foster or forever home! I've been waiting awhile -- almost two years -- and keep getting overlooked, despite my happy disposition. I'm an active, fun-loving dog and would do best in a home where I can get plenty of play time and exercise. I'm obsessed with the ball and if you like to play fetch, I'm your girl! I also love the water. I did well on my dog test with a calm male pittie, though I could use a few manners and would thrive as the only dog in a home as well. I also make a great snuggler! I weigh 69 lbs. Can you foster or adopt me? Please email for an application.

Story
HI - I'M SUZY! I'm a 11-year-old sweet and small brindle-and-white Pit Bull Terrier, in need of a home. I weigh only about 44 lbs. I am in my golden years and right now do not have a home of my own. I have been waiting for quite awhile for someone to choose me! I'm a loving girl who would do well in a quiet home and neighborhood where I can be loved and showered with attention and affection. I make a great snuggler! I have tested well with some large dogs but not others, so would probably do best in a home as an only dog or with a submissive male. I don't do well with little dogs. And I love older kids. Can you foster or adopt me?

Story
HI - I'M CLYDE, and if you're looking for a big, handsome friend, I certainly fit the bill! I am a handsome 3-year-old brindle Pit Bull Terrier in need of a home. Despite my imposing look, I am a sweetheart in disguise once I'm in your inner circle. I especially love men - and I bond quickly and intensely to my person. I'd do great with a single guy experienced with pits who wants to bond. Despite my look, I am very timid around other dogs. So what's my story? Well, I was dumped by my people -- and taken in by a rescue group so I wouldn't end up in the shelter system. I really would love a home where I'm loved and cherished and given all the affection I deserve. I will reward you 100-fold! I need an experienced owner only because I bond so strongly with my person. I also need a foster home if you aren't ready to adopt. Can you foster or adopt me?
