Pet: Debbie
Employee: Nahja B.
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.
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

Pet: Elisha Employee: Shaina L.
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.
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!

Pet: Velma Employee: Katie N.
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.
