The 3 musketeers, Sadie, Dawson, and Candy B are engaged in a game of tug. All 3 dogs are available for adoption. Come by the shelter and meet them in person. We are open daily 10-4 except closed on Mondays.
Here is Ryder having a ball in the rain. Come meet this fun-loving, active goofball. Ryder is a 3 year old Australian Shepherd Boxer mix looking for his forever home. ❤️
Have you walked through a shelter? There’s usually lots of barking, lots of new sounds & smells. New people daily. Shelter dogs are often confused, they’re lost, they’re lonely and they’re often sick, injured or sleep deprived. I wouldn’t be my best self in those conditions, either. Give them some grace. Let them get to know you and show their real personality. Don’t just walk by the kennel of a barking, shaking, nervous dog and say “nope.” Take a few minutes to see the real dog under the exterior appearance❤️
Stevie and Arwen ringing in the new year. A special thanks to our volunteers who show up 365 days a year.
People often ask me if it is hard to volunteer at the shelter. Quite the opposite. I think any animal that is lucky enough to land with us won the lottery. They will be loved and cared for until they find their forever home. No matter how long that takes. ❤️
It’s Christmas Eve and this was one of our playgroups. Brody (white) and Edna. This was their initial meet and it was a rousing success. Thank you to our dog handlers for coming out today so our pups could have some fun❤️❤️
A huge thank you to all who attended our Santa Paws events at @outletssc and @danapointharbor this holiday season ❤️🧑🎄 With your help, we raised more than $10,000 for our shelter animals 🎉 We also met so many adorable four-legged boys and girls who are definitely on Santa’s nice list. 🐶🐱🐾

Alumni Rico & bro Tank on their ride home ❤️
Meet Remus. He’s about two years old and he’s a really a great dog. He’s fun, smart and affectionate. He loves to play ball and has learned a lot from his training. He’s dog friendly and has enjoyed playing with many of the dogs here at the shelter. Could he be the right fit for you? Make an appointment to come meet him.
