About Estrella

Meet Estrella, a young Schnauzer who’s looking for a calm and loving home. She joined us at the San Diego Humane Society after her previous owner brought her in on June 20, 2026. This sweet girl thrives in a peaceful environment and does best in a low-key setting away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Estrella can be a little sensitive to handling and new experiences, so she’ll flourish in a patient home. She needs a family with children 12 and older who understand the importance of letting her build trust at her own pace. Gentle introductions and attention to her body language will help her feel secure. To help Estrella become a confident companion, consider a Fear Free veterinarian and groomer for her future care. Estrella has been vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed, and now she’s ready for adoption. Ready to give this little star the home she deserves? Click apply to start the adoption process.
