Featured Pets

Max

Max is a 2 1/2 year old Boxer/Shepherd mix. Max can be somewhat slow to trust, but once he does, he is an amazing dog.

He loves to play fetch, enjoys back scratches and has a good time playing with our bigger dogs. He knows the commands "sit" and "down" and knows his name.

Once he is comfortable with you, he will practically fall asleep in your lap. He has been at the shelter for over 6 months now and would really benefit from a home of his own. ID#36726

Cody is a 14 year old domestic short hair cat who was recently surrendered to the shelter because his owner could not keep him.

Cody's brown and grey coat are a stunning combination with his handsome green eyes!

Senior animals make wonderful pets and Cody would like nothing more than to find his forever home. So if you are looking for a loving companion, schedule a visit with Cody!

Found a Healthy Cat or Kittens that Live outside?

Please don't kitten-nap: Watch and wait!

🐾 In order to comply with the #SaferAtHome directives, we have temporarily suspended elective surgeries, which includes spay and neuter and TNR. Due to this situation, we will not be accepting cats/kittens that live outside, unless they are SICK or INJURED.

🐾 FIND A LITTER: BE A SITTER! Mother cats often leave kittens for hours at a time, and will likely return soon. The only time to interfere is when you are sure the kittens are ORPHANED (left alone for over 8 hours), INJURED or ILL, and in that case, please give us a call at (626) 286-1159.

🐾 If you think kittens have been abandoned, you can help support us by raising them in your home!
