Leona

Leona has been at OC Animal Care for nearly seven months after she was returned to the shelter in March.

Staff notations recommend a home without children for Leona. She has a history of destructive and rowdy behavior, and she’s best suited for a household without any other pets.

Throughout the month of September, adoption fees are waived for dogs 25 pounds and over at OC Animal Care. Leona is currently available for adoption, and she’s also available as part of the shelter’s foster-to-adopt program.

Finley

Finley has been at the shelter for just over four months after coming in as a stray. He’s one of the oldest faces at OC Animal Care at 9 years old.

Staff notations describe that he can be reactive and bark and growl when around other dogs, but he’s generally friendly around people. He’s best suited for a home where he can be the only dog.

The shelter’s veterinarian staff is currently monitoring Finley for a medical condition that may require follow-up care after adoption. 

Finley is eligible for the shelter’s September adoption promotion — which is waiving all adoption fees for dogs 25 pounds and over — and he’s also available as part of the shelter’s foster-to-adopt program.

  • Pet ID: A1867211
  • Sex: male (neutered)
  • Age: 9 years
  • Weight: 86 pounds
  • Color: Black, white
  • Breed: Boxer mix
  • Intake Date: 5/13/2024
  • Intake Jurisdiction: Huntington Beach
  • Kennel: #313

Shelby

Shelby has been at the shelter for about two months after coming in as a stray. Staff notations emphasize an adult-only household would be best for her.

Staff recommend approaching Shelby slowly since she can be overstimulated easily, and she does not do well when picked up.

OC Animal Care is currently offering a promotional cat adoption event every Friday — cat adoption fees are reduced to $50 on Fridays only.

Here are Shelby’s details:

  • Pet ID: A1876439
  • Sex: Female (spayed)
  • Age: 2 years
  • Weight: 8.7 pounds
  • Color: Brown tabby
  • Breed: Domestic shorthair
  • Intake Date: 7/11/2024
  • Intake Jurisdiction: Santa Ana
  • Kennel: #C601
