Stella is Your Rancho Coastal Humane Society Pet This Week

Stella is pet of the week at your Rancho Coastal Humane Society. She’s a 3-year-old, 49-pound, female, Labrador Retriever / Siberian Husky mix.

Stella was transferred to Rancho Coastal Humane Society through the FOCAS (Friends of County Animal Shelters) program. She was adopted right away. Now, 16 months later, she’s been returned.

She might do best as the only dog in her home. She needs a home with a yard or people who will continue her training while they’re taking her for walks.

The $145 adoption fee for Stella includes medical exam, spay, up to date vaccinations, registered microchip, and a one-year license if her new home is in the jurisdiction of San Diego Humane Society’s Department of Animal Services. For information about adoption or to become a Virtual Foster visit Rancho Coastal Humane Society at 389 Requeza Street in Encinitas, call 760-753-6413, or log on to www.SDpets.org.

There’s still time. October is “Adopt a Shelter Dog Month.” You can find all ages from puppies to adolescents, adults, and seniors. Shelter dogs have been vaccinated and examined for health and temperament.

If this isn’t the right time for you to adopt a shelter dog, find out how you can volunteer or become a virtual foster by sponsoring a pet. For more information visit Rancho Coastal Humane Society at 389 Requeza Street in Encinitas, log on to www.sdpets.org, or call 760-753-6413.
