Love dogs? Want to make a BIG difference while meeting your new best friend ever?
We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to give homeless dogs a second chance at the life they deserve.
Our ‘Adopted Dog of the Week’ program will spotlight great dogs waiting to find a fur-ever home on our social media sites which are named after our official mascot, Cutie, The Lion Dog. Cutie was rescued and now he is the face of many of our campaigns and outreach programs.
The ‘Adopted Dog of the Week’ program is part of our ‘Fur-ever Friends: until no dog is left behind’ campaign in partnership with several reputable no-kill shelters.

ADOPTED DOG OF THE WEEK
Name: Shelby
Age: 1 year
Weight: 41 pounds
Gender: Spayed Female
Breed: Treeing Walker Coonhound
If you like big dogs that don’t know they’re big dogs, you are going to love Shelby. She’s a puppy in a big dog’s body. Shelby can hardly control her enthusiasm.

Treeing Walker Coonhounds have a distinctive bay that lets their owners identify them from long distances. It’s a clear voice that turns into a chop when they find something in a tree and they want you to look. Shelby was transferred to Rancho Coastal Humane Society from Four Paws Coonhound Rescue through the FOCAS program. The $145 adoption fee for Shelby includes medical exam, vaccinations, spay, and microchip.
