Interested in adopting a pet — or just gazing at some delightful doggies? There are dozens of great dogs up for adoption at animal shelters in and around San Diego.

Animal shelters work hard to care for unhoused pets and connect them to loving homes. Hoodline used data from Petfinder to power this roundup of dogs currently available for adoption.

(Details like pet availability, training, vaccinations and other features are based on data provided by Petfinder and may be subject to change; contact the shelter for the latest information.)


Loma, shepherd mix

Loma is a female shepherd mix staying at California Labradors Retrievers and More.

Loma loves other dogs. She is already house-trained. Loma is already spayed and vaccinated.

Here's what Loma's friends at California Labradors Retrievers and More think of her:

Meet the beautiful Loma! This gorgeous girl is around three years old, and we think she is a Shepherd mix. She probably has a few other breeds mixed in her as well. She has soft, white and brown fur with brindle markings. Loma can be a little shy in new situations but don't let that deter you because once she feels comfortable, Loma is an absolute sweetheart. She loves her people, walks well on the leash, and knows a few basic commands. We are also told she is house trained. Loma gets along with other dogs but she is more of a mellow-type girl that prefers like-minded canine companions instead of bouncy energetic pups all in her face.

Bam Bam, American Staffordshire terrier mix

Bam Bam is a male American Staffordshire terrier mix being kept at It's The Pits.

Bam Bam is eager to make friends — he'll get along great with your other dogs. Fear not: he's already house-trained. Bam Bam has been vaccinated.

From Bam Bam's current caretaker:

Bam Bam is the happiest, sweetest guy you'll meet! He always has a pittie smile and a wagging tail to greet you. When he first came in, he was not crate-trained, leash-trained or even knew how to "sit". But, he is incredibly eager to please and treat motivated and has already made huge improvements. Now he goes into the crate on command and only barks if he has to use the bathroom. He's definitely more on the submissive side and not dog reactive at all. He craves attention and human affection. I'm excited to see him continue learning and growing and know he will be a great addition to just about any home!

Nick Bear, Labrador retriever and Great Dane mix

Nick Bear is a male Labrador retriever and Great Dane mix in the care of California Labradors Retrievers and More.

Nick Bear is friendly as can be, and he's happy to keep company with other dogs. He has been vaccinated. He's already house-trained.

From Nick Bear's current caretaker:

Meet Nick Bear! He is a Lab and Great Dane mix around 1 year old. This extra large boy is around 90 lbs but he is friendly and sweet. We are told Nick Bear is good with other dogs and with kids. He is working on his manners and leash skills in his foster home. Nick Bear is still a young dog looking for an active family that will continue his training and help him become the best dog he can be.

Pickwick, shepherd mix

Pickwick is a male shepherd mix being kept at California Labradors Retrievers and More.

Pickwick loves other dogs. Good news: he's already house-trained. Pickwick is vaccinated.

Pickwick's current caretakers say:

Meet Pickwick! This cutie is a Shepherd mix and we think he is around 8 months old. We don't know who his mom and dad were but since we think he is part Shepherd, we expect him to be medium to large size when full grown. Pickwick is looking for a family that understands the time, patience, and energy needed to raise a young pup.

Buffy is the life of the party — she loves other dogs. She's been vaccinated. She has mastered her house-training etiquette.

Buffy's current caretakers say:

Meet Buffy! Buffy is around 2 years old. Our best guess is she is a Shepherd and Collie mix with a gorgeous fluffy soft coat and just as soft, sweet demeanor.

Notes from Coco Lea's caretakers:

Meet Coco Lea! She is around 1 year old and a chocolate Labrador Retriever. Coco Lea is a wonderful girl with a rough past. She was likely mistreated and she is very shy when you come forward to pet her. Coco Lea has been in training to help her with her confidence and has done very well.

Meet Rousey! Rousey is around 2 years old and a Boxer mix. She is a very sweet girl that loves her people. Rousey gets along well with other dogs, but she is a little too interested in chasing cats so we recommend a feline free home. She is working on gaining some weight in her foster home.
