Sweet Kevin is everyone's best friend. He walks well on leash and was a super good boy when we weighed him! He hopped right on the scale and sat. We've noticed that he's pretty calm, however huskies do generally need a lot of exercise- mentally and physically, so we are looking for a home for Kevin that provides both!

Lilo is a very loyal dog. Her favorite movies Iâve quote is from Lilo and Stitch: âOhana means family. And family means no one gets left behind or forgottenâ. Lilo really took the quote to heart. She would be an awesome ranch dog prospect because she wants some room to run!

Mariah loves other dogs. We think she would be great in a house with other dogs and possibly older kids. With a good introduction, cats would also be ok with Mariah.
She is a little shy at times, so we are looking for someone who would be able to expand her confidence! Our adoption counselor says that "she relates to dogs a lot easier than to humans"... A lot like some of us humans!

Gardenia is fully housebroken. She LOVES to play with other dogs. She's looking for a home where she'll have a canine brother/sister or two. She is very smart and loves to have lots of toys around to keep her occupied.
Gardenia was transferred from a shelter in Fresno to the Santa Barbara Humane Society. She was very shy at first, however is really coming out of her shell with the care and attention that our behavior and enrichment team is giving her.
She also has a limp. After taking X-rays of her, we discovered that one front leg had been previously broken and the other has a BB pellet embedded in her leg.

I love people. My perfect day would consist of laying in a sunny carpeted spot for a few hours, snuffling around in the grass outside, and curling up for some Netflix in the evening.
People who meet me remark on my gentle eyes and disposition.
Can't adopt me, but interested in fostering?
I have a foster home while I look for a forever home to spend my golden years in.
I have arthritis and my joints hurt from standing and laying on the hard floor here.
Shelter life for a senior like me is not perfect. I know I'll find my forever home soon because I am so friendly and easygoing. But, in the meantime, I needed a friend to help me out with a comfy place to sleep!

Kato is very gentle and delicate with his head butts as he asks for more pets. He loves to be brushed and fawned over. He would be a great companion for a fellow senior as he loves to nap just as much as he loves gentle attention. That said, he is very tolerant and would get along with the grandchildren just as well.
