Cooler months mean that some dogs grow thicker coats, and owners let fur grow longer to keep pups warm. You can help your pet stay comfortable by maintaining regular grooming! We think Doggy 'Poo is the paw-fect addition to a warm puppy bath. Plus, @unite_hair donates 100% of the proceeds from Doggy 'Poo Shampoo and Detangler to support San Diego Humane Society and Shelter to Soldier.

A barn owl flew off into the beautiful San Diego sunset in a stunning release captured by Dr. Kushnir, a Wildlife Veterinarian Intern! The owl came to Project Wildlife almost two months ago, thin and very lethargic. Blood tests revealed that she was suffering from "anticoagulant rodenticide toxicosis" – more simply, ingestion of rat poison. Luckily, this majestic bird received the care she needed just in time. You can be a friend to raptors and other wild creatures by avoiding the use of toxic rodenticides. Plus, raptors provide excellent pest control naturally! 🦉 #wildliferescue #sandiegosunsets #projectwildlife #wildlifewednesday #barnowl #owlsofinstagram #gopro @gopro

Hockey star Chase De Leo, who currently plays for the San Diego Gulls, has spent most of his life on the ice. When he’s not skating and scoring, his time is devoted to caring for 30 animals at his family home! We caught up with him in a recent interview to learn more about his passion for animals of all kinds — especially his beloved dog CJ — and how they fit in with his life on the ice. "I moved away from home when I was 15 to play for the Portland Winterhawks, only coming home for Christmas. I went from having 30 animals on deck at all times to zero. I wasn’t able to have any animals, and that was the biggest change for me, other than not living with my parents. Then, I lived in Winnipeg, Canada — pretty much the coldest place on earth. It was negative 30 degrees! I couldn’t really leave my condo, so I decided it was time for me to get my own dog. I got CJ in Los Angeles when I was home for Christmas break. That transition of living on my own without anybody and living in a different country was difficult. Needless to say, it was awesome having my dog with me. I felt like I had a piece of home with me at all times. Obviously there’s a lot of ups and downs in my career — like having a bad game or a bad practice. Showing back up at my condo, opening the door and being greeted by the happiest little guy at all times, no matter what. Honestly, I guess I could say he saved my life some days when I’ve been down in the dumps."

SDHS alum Goose is all grown up! His mom, Lauren, told us what this puppy turned very good boy has been up to in today's adoption #happyhour: "We had originally visited SDHS in hopes of adopting a small dog we had seen online, but learned that he had already adopted. The volunteer let us know that a litter of puppies were just put into a room and once we saw them we knew we couldn’t leave without one. All of the puppies were named after animals: Calf, Skunk and Panda, but we chose Goose. He was two months old when we adopted him and is now two years old. We put him into obedience training shortly after adopting him and he took to it right away, earning his Canine Good Citizen at 7 months old! He has a calm demeanor and was said to be an “old soul” by his trainer when he was just a puppy. He is very intelligent, loves tennis balls, chewing on bully sticks and snuggling. Our family wouldn’t be complete without him and we are so thankful for the wonderful work of SDHS!" - Lauren D. #recuepetsofinstagram #sdhsalum 
Rio (703965) is an exuberant goofball who will ALWAYS make you smile! He is sweet, full of energy and pretty dashing with his one floppy ear. He LOVES his tennis ball, but don't worry, he has room to love you, too! Rio is pretty independent, and would do best in a home with adults that like to keep active! He came in as a stray so we don't know much about his history, but we do know he likes toys, belly rubs and a good kong. He's very treat motivated, and eager to keep up his training! Visit sdhumane.org/adopt if this very good boy sounds like your perfect match! 💛🐾 #adoptdontshop #rescuedogsofinstagram #rescuepetsofinstagram #huskylife #huskylove #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #adoptashelterdog #rio
