A great adoption facility. I appreciate the wonderful work this agency is doing to help animals. I made it through the entire facility without anyone approaching me or asking about my interests. So, if it can go either way: good if you’re window shopping.

Stormy broke her arm...They referred us to Lenity whose folks are the BOMB! SPCA really cares about animals and they are very busy with alot of covid protocols.

I've been taking my cats here for vet service for almost 20 years. I love this place. Everyone is knowledgeable and friendly. I've also adopted here and found the process very straightforward. Whatever it is you're going for, the SPCA staff will be able to help you.

They have a new facility that is way more comfortable for everyone! Dogs and animals look happy. Ran pretty smooth for these CV19 times... Plan to take a while. We went in on a Sunday at 12 when they opened and left at about 2... If you are getting a puppy sign up for the behavior classes while you are waiting! Pro tip

Can my dog stay at a shelter until i get stability. Also can i get my dog back.

vickie Smith | Aug 21, 2020
Tony Minton | Aug 21, 2020

There are places to put you dog up at pet hotels but i don't know if they allow long term housing for your pooch. If you take your dog to the SPCA they might assume that you want to put your dog up for adpotion. The best bet in my opinion is to keep your dog with you, you will regret it as soon as you leave the shelter. I don't know your story but keep the dog or if you have a friend that you see all the time see if they can house your pooch while you get stablized. In my honest opinion Vickie keep your dog with you, both you and your dog will be happy.

I agree with JC go and check out their website and pick out a few. Then with your grandfather, if possible, go to the SPCA and have him check out the dogs. They have a little area that people can use to get close to the dogs and play with them a little bit. Good luck.

How much is a shih zu?

C C | Aug 22, 2018

The adoption fees for dogs are the same regardless of breed excluding pit bulls which the adoption process is slightly different. There is no guarantee that they will have a specific breed BUT all hope is not lost because they have an extensive list of breed specific rescue organizations etc. who are always looking for loving homes to adopt out your next best friend whether your looking for a younger more energetic playful pal or an older mature mellow fella. Adoption is a beautiful selfless act which not only saves a life but also gives love, shelter and care to the most vulnerable.

Are there Rodesian Ridgebacks

Michael Grob | Aug 22, 2018
Adonai Fernandes | Aug 22, 2018

Don't think so! You can check by going to the SPCA website and click on link Adoption then Dog. Most of them will be a wonderful group of mix breeds. If you really want a pure Rhodesian Ridgeback to adopt try some of the rescue groups around Bay Area, like the Rhodesian Ridgeback Rescue of Northern California. They rescue dogs of the breed and try to find new owners. Word of Advice from whom used to own 3 dogs of SPORT breeds like the Rhodesian : Make sure your life style and schedule will allow you to spend enough time exercising he/she on a daily basis otherwise they can get bored and create bad behavior!

When you adoped a dog do you pay?

sabina Juarez | Aug 22, 2018
C C | Aug 22, 2018

Yes, there is an adoption fee for all the animals however they do have events throughout the year where adoption fees are waived and or greatly reduced. They also have elder animals at a reduced fee. FYI the elder animals are purrrfectly healthy unless they have diabetes or something specific which is always noted on their cage card. Elder doesn't always mean 20yrs old either they are typically over age 5 and I have to say from personal experience here they are some of the sweetest loving and gentle ever.
