Pet: Debbie

Employee: Nahja B.debbie cat

Nahja B., who works in the Development Department, has selected a very loving cat with a pouty lip and Siamese eyes named “Debbie” as her Employee Pick.

Nahja says, “She’s got it all!  Debbie is playful, affectionate and just happy to sit by your side.  She is up for anything!”  Nahja noticed that when you scratch behind her ears, she tucks her head in upside down and she often shows her kitten side when she plays.  A little shy at first, Nahja says, “Once she get’s comfy with you, she is nothing but sweetness, sunshine, and love.  She deserves all the best, and I know she will bring years of joy and happiness to her new home.”

Nahja adds, “Debbie wants all your love and affection, so she should be the only feline friend in the household.”  If you’d like to meet this stunning kitty in person, come visit our Gaines Campus today!”

Pet: Jemima

Employee: Tricia H.Jemima

Tricia H., who volunteers at our Airport Road location, has selected a beautiful cat named Jemima as her Employee Pick.

Tricia first fell in love with Jemima when she saw her “soulful, beautiful eyes.”  As Tricia got to know her, she saw how calm, sweet and very affectionate this kitty truly is.  While she can be a bit shy at first, she really warms up once you get to know her.  Tricia describes Jemima as a “cool cat” and amazing companion. She says that Jemima loves to be petted by her favorite people friends and has a huge heart.  Tricia hopes that Jemima will find someone who will love this precious girl as part of the family.

If you have room in your heart and home for this adorable cat, please visit her at our Airport Road location for cats and small animals: 572 Airport Road, Oceanside, CA 92058. If you have any questions, please contact our North Campus Customer Service Department at 760-757-4357.

Pet: Vince
Employee: Anna C.Josh

Anna C., a member of the Bunny Socialization program, has selected Vince as her volunteer pick.

Vince, an American, is a small, all white rabbit who is very friendly.  With adorable pink ears, Vince is a very sweet and happy bunny who is very easy to handle.  Anna enjoys bunnies that are comfortable being handled and Vince seems very appreciative of human companionship and attention.

He would truly thrive in an indoor home that will appreciate his loving personality.  Vince is just under a year old and warms the hearts of just about everybody he encounters! If you think a loving rabbit like Vince would make a great addition to your family, visit our Airport Road Campus to meet him in person or call customer service at 619-299-7012.

Pet: Elisha
Employee: Shaina L.Elisha

Shaina L., an Enrichment Assistant volunteer, has selected a truly fantastic dog named Elisha as her Volunteer Pick.   

A beautiful Pit Bull mix, Shaina was first drawn to Elisha by her overall appearance but primarily her eyes and ‘the way she looks up at you in such a calming way. Her light blue coat matches her light and elegant nature.’
Elisha is a very active but listens when she needs to. 

Shaina says, ‘I just fell in love with the fact that she looks up and makes such genuine eye contact with you every time.’  Always alert and curious of her surroundings, Elisha is a very intelligent and well behaved dog.

If Elisha seems like the perfect dog for you, ask an adoption counselor about this beautiful companion today or call customer service at 619-299-7012!

Animal ID 79597


Pet: Kirk
Employee: Aimee H.Kirk

Aimee H., Mobile Adoptions Supervisor for the SDHS, has selected a playful and lovable dog named Kirk as her Employee Pick.   

A beautiful Pit Bull Terrier mix, Kirk (aka “Party Guy Kirk”) was always getting attention for his cuddly personality and playful behavior, a combination that Aimee was quick to notice as she spent many weekends with him at Mobile Adoption events.  Kirk is very enthusiastic and never misses a chance to participate in any activity with his fellow human friends, especially if that involves a hiking trip to Cowles Mountain while listening to Bon Jovi.  Kirk is the perfect companion for those active adults who are looking for a friend to ride along around town, hiking, or tossing the ball around.

Aimee says, ‘I just can’t help but being drawn to his playful eyes and human-like expressions when I am around him.’  He loves it when I sing to him.

If Kirk seems like the perfect dog for you, ask an adoption counselor about this beautiful companion today or call customer service at 619-299-7012!

Animal ID 63933


Pet: Velma
Employee: Katie N.Velma

Katie N., a Cat Companion Volunteer at our North Campus, has selected a truly special kitty named Velma as her Employee Pick.

From the very beginning, Velma stood out to Katie. “She is a genuine girl that just wants to be loved and show her love for you.”

Since Velma is a Hidden Gem Airport Road Branch at the North Campus, Katie spends a lot of quality time with her.  She points out that Velma “loves to talk to you and rub on you when she’s happy.” Even more so, she is playful and will “plop over and be silly with you, asking for attention.”

At five-years-old, Velma has is strikingly beautiful with her silky white and orange fur. A quirky feature of hers is that her tail is alert—it stands straight up and slightly backwards. 

While Velma cherishes human companionship, she would prefer to be the only the pet in the home.  If you would like to meet this special gal or learn more about her, please call our North Campus Customer Service Department at (760) 757-4357.
