Doris is Your Rancho Coastal Humane Society Pet This Week

Don't stop petting her.

(RCHS - Mark Viguri)

Doris is pet of the week at your Rancho Coastal Humane Society. She’s a 1-1/2-year-old, 48-pound, female, Shepherd mix.

Someone crammed Doris into the night “cat drop” at a shelter in Riverside County. Now small spaces scare her. She was transferred to Rancho Coastal Humane Society through the Friends of County Animal Shelters (FOCAS) program.

Doris is very social. If you let her, she will kiss your face. When you stop petting her, Doris will nudge you for more.

Special note.

Rookie “Players” from your Rancho Coastal Humane Society will take part in the annual “Puppy Bowl,” on Fox 5-San Diego beginning at 8:00 AM Pacific Time on Friday morning, February 11, 2022.

Fox 5 Puppy Bowl players will work for food, housing, and transportation. (They’re always ready to "Go for a ride in the car.")

After the game they continue as personal trainers for families that need walking, hiking, or running partners. They participate in multiple sports including tennis balls, swimming, Frisbee catch, and K9 Agility.

Draft one of these players onto your home team. Watch the Fox 5 Puppy Bowl then visit Rancho Coastal Humane Society at 389 Requeza Street in Encinitas, call 760-753-6413, or log on to www.SDpets.org.
