Found an injured possum on the side of the road, looked pretty beat up but was still alert she had babies. I called the SPCA to have them treat the mother and take care of them. I got a call 2 days later telling me that they couldn't do anything so they killed the mom and the babies. Can you at least try to do your job and save animals?

I got a kitty at the middle of the year and by then I haven’t an idea what it means have a pest, so much thing to worry about and honesty very expensive, but I got the time to take care my kitty kitty Cleo and making a research I found this place, it’s a life saver!! Since the moments you walked in they make you feel great and you can tell how much they love the animals, the place it’s very affordable for ppl like me and help the county to control of the animals in the streets and the population of them too. Thank you so much

Great, clean facilities, amazing people! I brought my reactive puppy for a spay surgery today. The place is large enough that my puppy had enough space to sniff and not bothered by other dogs nearby. Staff were very accommodating and professional. The whole process is humane. I got to be in the exam room with my puppy, held her while she got a sedative shot, and brought her to the crate myself. Super recommended!

July 7th 2021 I found this stray dog while waiting on the bus. I was able to leash him using my sweater I called Animal Control and they said the wait time would be 18 hours. I don’t know how to drive so I was super bummed. I’m a huge animal lover so I Uber to the shelter. The dog was sweet friendly but scared. He was running loose with a Chi but the chi was aggressive and I only have one set of hands. When I got there they instructed me on how to put him in the drop off container. I would of liked a bit more help but I figured it out. I’m pretty anxious myself and a bit of a dummy I would of hated for him to get loose and get hit by a car near the freeway. I really hope he passes his temperament test and becomes available for adoption he’s only about 7 months or so. Sweet and friendly but SUPER scared. You can see his story on my IG #PupPup650

Questions & Answers

Hi, our little dog died this morning, she was old and sick so it was expected, we're not sure about what to do with her body, what our options are, could you tell me please, debbie

Debbra Gartner | Aug 23, 2018
Mister Coffee | Aug 23, 2018

Sorry to hear. They can help you with this. We've enlisted our Vet in San Bruno who arranged the cremation when we lost a companion, but the shelter should handle it with respect too.

What do you guys do with the dogs that don't get any luck finding a owner ?

Maritza Valencia | Aug 22, 2020
Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA | Aug 22, 2020

At Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA we don’t humanely euthanize an animal for space or time. We’ve had several dogs and other animals at our shelter sometimes wait many months, and even years until they are adopted. While an adoptable animal is waiting for his or her new home, we will continue to provide food, shelter, medical care and tender loving care no matter how long it takes for that animal to be adopted.

I can not keep my pets in my apartment, may I come to pet cats and give them attention?
