Introducing… Otis! This big, handsome, goofball is looking for a new person or family to share lots of fun with! Otis is young and active, and loooves to play! He is approximately 1-2 years old, and currently weighs about 85 pounds. Though he is practicing his basic obedience skills, he doesn’t always remember his own size and strength, so a home that has experience with big, strong dogs would be ideal! We think he may be open to living with another doggie friend, provided it’s a good match. He had been vaccinated, neutered, and micro-chipped, so he’s all ready to go home right away!

Please visit our webpage for some videos!

If you might be interested in meeting Otis, or any of our other available pets, we encourage you to come visit! If you already have another dog at home, we’ll have you bring them down for an introduction too, prior to adoption. Our shelter is open daily from 11:30 to 5:30, and we’re located at 4595 Gleason Drive in Dublin, CA.

Rainy is a sweet, active Shepherd girl who is looking for a new person or family to share some fun with! She is approximately five years old, and weighs about 75 pounds. She’s looking for a home without cats. If you have another dog at home, we’ll ask you to bring them to meet her too, prior to adoption. She has been vaccinated, and will be spayed and chipped before going to her new home.

Rainy qualifies for Fluffy Dog Friday! Adopt her on a Friday and we’ll waive her adoption fee!

If you might be interested in meeting Rainy, or any of our other available pets, we welcome you to come visit! We’re open daily from 11:30 to 5:30, and we’re located at 4595 Gleason Drive in Dublin, CA.

It’s National Feral Cat Day!

Feral cats are domestic felines who have had little to no human socialization. Because of this, they’re unfortunately not suitable for adoption as pets, but they can still be good candidates for placement as outdoor “barn cats” or “working cats!” In exchange for a safe place to call home, they will help provide you with rodent control!

*We currently have four barn cats who are already fixed and ready to go!*

If you have a ranch, workshop, or other property, preferably away from heavy traffic; and might be interested in providing a home to a pair of outdoor cats, please give us a call at 925-803-7040 for more information!

Please keep in mind, even though they live outside and are relatively “hands off,” barn cats do still require some supervision, fresh food and water, and shelter from inclement weather and predators.

We still have a lot of kittens who are looking for homes!

Featured today are brothers Fred and Ted, who have been with us since July. 😿 They’ve been growing up at our shelter for too long, and it’s time for them to meet their new families! They are about five months old now, have completed their kitten vaccinations, and will be neutered and chipped before going to their new home(s). They don’t have to be adopted together, but kittens do great in pairs!

If you might be interested in meeting Fred, Ted, or any of our other pets, we welcome you to come visit! We’re open daily from 11:30 to 5:30, and we’re located at 4595 Gleason Drive in Dublin, CA.

We still have a lot of kittens who are looking for homes! Featured today and brothers Daniel Tiger (tabby) and X The Owl (black & white). Can you believe these babies have been with us for three months? 😿 They’ve been growing up at our shelter for too long, and it’s time for them to meet their new families! They are almost six months old now, have completed their kitten vaccinations, and will be neutered and chipped before going to their new home(s). They don’t have to be adopted together, but kittens do great in pairs!

If you might be interested in meeting Daniel, X, or any of our other pets, we welcome you to come visit! We’re open daily from 11:30 to 5:30, and we’re located at 4595 Gleason Drive in Dublin, CA.

It’s Senior Sunday! Adoptions are sponsored each Sunday for pets aged seven years and older!

This is Guinevere, and she is an old lady who needs a soft place to land. She was found recently wandering along Altamont Pass Road, with no homes in sight. We have no idea how she got there, but thankfully she was spotted and rescued by an off-duty animal services officer.

We don’t know much about Guinevere, except that she is a sweet kitty, and she probably is pretty old. At least 15 years old we’re guessing. We honestly can’t say how much time she may have left, but we would love for her to find one last home where she can live out her golden days receiving all of the care, comfort, and love that she so deserves! We have done blood work on her, and everything looks okay right now, but please keep in mind that senior pets do tend to require veterinary care more frequently, and it can be more costly.

Guinevere has been vaccinated, dewormed, treated to prevent fleas, has had recent blood work, is already spayed, and will be micro-chipped before going home.

If you might be interested in meeting Guinevere, or any of our other pets, we welcome you to come visit! We’re open daily from 11:30 to 5:30, and we’re located at 4595 Gleason Drive in Dublin, CA.

Are there any Doberman fans who are looking for a new friend? We currently have two males who are looking for new homes!

Helton is the black and tan mix, he is approximately two years old, and weighs around 70 pounds.

Casper is the blue fawn, who looks like he could be a purebred. He is also approximately two years old, and currently weighs 75 pounds.

Both boys are younger and active and looking for fun families who can provide daily exercise and enrichment. They have been vaccinated, and will be neutered and microchipped before going to their new homes.

If you might be interested in meeting Helton, Casper, or any of our other pets, we welcome you to come visit! We’re open daily from 11:30 to 5:30, and we’re located at 4595 Gleason Drive in Dublin, CA.
