Story
Meet Rue! At 8-9 months old, Rue is already an absolute snuggle bug who is sweet and has medium energy for a pup her age! Rue is the perfect mix of playing when the time is right, and relaxing at home with her people. Rue is already potty trained, crate trained, and enjoys sharing her toys and treats with other pups in the house! Rue might need a little help learning to play gently at times, as this big girl doesn’t quite know her own strength yet.

Story
Meet Jellybean Meet Jellybean, an adorable roughly 10 month lab mix. She is friendly with little dogs, but has yet to socialize with larger dogs or meet children. Jellybean is great on a leash, and is not much of a puller. Jellybean is currently working on her potty skills, and has yet to have an accident in the house. Jellybean is a quick learner, is picking up commands and redirects to toys rather than chewing on household things. Wow! She has expected puppy behavior (occasionally whining in crate, energetic, picking up things she shouldn’t, etc). This girl is very loving and loves attention from her humans. She would do well as a solo pet too, is more keen to human attention than another dog’s. Overall, Jellybean is a good and her foster family is beyond impressed with her behavior so far!

Story
How this pet arrived: Skye was brought in by her previous owner on February 27, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Skye! She's a sweet and gentle soul who may be a bit shy around new people, but once she gets to know you, she warms up quickly. Skye can be selective with other dogs, so if you already have a canine companion, please bring them along to ensure a good match. She would thrive in a quieter home without young children, where she can enjoy her favorite pastime: greeting her people with a toy in tow. Skye is also crate trained, making her a well-behaved companion. When she's not out exploring the great outdoors, she loves to relax and unwind as a true couch potato. If you're looking for a loving and loyal companion who enjoys both adventure and relaxation, Skye might just be the perfect fit for you! At SDHS:Skye has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. She is now ready for her new home! Primary Color: Fawn Secondary Color: White Weight: 79 Age: 3yrs 2mths 3wks

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Bella aka “Big Mamma” is the perfect couch potato dog. She was a mamma dog late in life and has earned her right to bask in the sunlight and just relax. It is apparent that she did not spend her recent years with humans but probably as a back yard breeder dog. It took Bella a little while before she learned to appreciated all the fun that a relationship with people can bring...like treats and toys. Once she trusts you Bella loves to cuddle and accept petting and also loves to get people to throw her ball. She loves toys and treats and can entertain herself very well. She is crate trained and seems to enjoy her down time with a good bone to chew. Bella has no allergies or food sensitivities. Bella is a big girl so a strong handler is key. She has no interest in sharing her home with another dog, after giving birth to all those big puppies who could blame her. Bella walks well on a leash and can be dog reactive, but easily managed with a strong leader. If you have a soft spot near the TV that needs filling, Bella is your girl. Please consider sponsoring Bella with either a one-time or monthly tax-deductible donation.

Story
Meet Toffee Please note - Toffee is BLIND! Toffee is a sweet, gentle, and loving four-year-old English Bulldog who is looking for her forever home. Despite being blind, she is a brave and sweet dog who loves to spend time with her humans. Toffee is an affectionate companion who loves nothing more than a good cuddle and a cosy day. Toffee would do best in a calm and relaxed environment where she can feel safe and secure as the only pet in the household. Due to her blindness, she can be reactive to other dogs, so she would benefit from a quiet home where she can enjoy her time with her family. She loves chew toys and playing, and she is always up for a change of scenery to use her other senses. If you're looking for a sweet, affectionate, and brave companion, Toffee is the perfect dog for you. Come meet her today and open your heart and home to this special girl. She will be waiting for you with waggling tail and lots of love to give you. Sweet Edna is about 4 years old. When we rescued her we thought she was a senior because she was slow to move and had trouble getting up. Then our vet said she was only about 4 during her exam. We also realized her arthritis suddenly got better! About a month after rescuing her she had a very aggressive seizure. We took her to the ER , got her stabilized and she is now on seizure meds for Epilepsy. We then realized this was probably why her former owners dumped her and why she had separation anxiety😢 Despite everything she’s been through she is still the absolute sweetest girl ever. She gives bear hugs and nuzzles for kisses. She constantly wants to talk about all the love she has to give🥹 she is potty trained and great with other dogs. We want a family where someone is always around to be with her. Imagine how many times she had to go through this ALONE!💔💔💔No wonder she gets separation anxiety🥺 We also want to make sure if there is another dog in the home and she happens to have another seizure that they would not react or try to attack her to stop the chaos. Although she was able to walk on her own after the seizure subsided, She is a giant breed dog so if a situation like this were to come up again and she needs to be carried out into the car , she needs an adopter who has the capacity to help move her around. Although her seizures may be stabilized for a long time, potentially forever , this will always be an underlying medical issue and her future adopters MUST be ready and equipped to take on this financial undertaking as well. Her monthly expenses for food , supplements, medication etc will not be cheap. She is not spayed due to the seizures and we dont know if we will be able to spay her as anesthesia is very risky with her condition. All this being said , this girl is truly special. She is one of the sweetest dogs we have ever met and anyone who meets her instantly falls in love.
