May 2026

The first weekend in May we had three puppy adoptions: Bilby, Sasmoo, and Squishmallow, and kittens Zackary, Jordan, Elliot & Troy were all adopted too! The remaining two kittens were transferred to the SFSPCA.

Adoption update! Bubba went to a foster home with one of our rescue partners in January and it became a foster win: “Just wanted to send a Bubba update. We pulled him back in January with the intention of fostering him. Well…we decided to keep him! He’s a total goofball, loves the girls so much and we are so thankful to have him.”

Sweet Yeti has been adopted, by a lovely couple who’ve had multiple Tibetans before and were very taken with him!

Adoption update! “Fievel has made our lives so full. He made himself at home the day he arrived- climbing under the covers to sleep and giving endless kisses to everyone. He plays with his stuffed animals and chases his tail. The kids describe him as, “jumpy and kissy”. Thank you for this perfect addition to our family.”

Shy sweetie Uno has found his forever home, complete with a canine sister.

Adoption update! “Just wanted to update you all on Nayla, I adopted her almost 6 months ago from you guys and she’s doing great. Her name was Posey but it’s Nayla now.

Young Aussie cattle dog sweetie Howdy has gone home with experienced cattle dog lovers who’ll make sure she gets all the love and enrichment she needs.

Adoption update! “Hi! wanted to give an update on our adoption fur baby Chuy aka “ross.” He is doing amazing! His fun, loving personality makes our home feel cozy and welcoming. He enjoys pup cups, naps and throwing a smile at you when he’s excited. we got so lucky with all the love this boy has to offer.

Wonderful update on our dear Linebacker! After spending eight weeks as part of a prison training program (where inmates leave the prison with a dog training certification!), Linebacker has been adopted into a wonderful family. He loves his kids and loves his dog sister, Plum.

From a stray dog at the local shelter, to a man on the inside, and now a beloved family member. What a journey! Thanks to everyone for helping him get there.

We recieved a very touching adoption update: “I adopted Eskimo back in June 2010! His original shelter name was Mortimer. This week, at almost 18 years old, Eski crossed over the rainbow bridge. I just wanted to share my gratitude for the life-saving work that SFACC does, and I’m so lucky to have been able to spend so many years with Eski.”

Sweet volunteer fave Tuna was adopted in 3/24 and we just got a great update: He’s now named Chewy. His dad reports he could not be happier with Chewy and that all he wants to do is love, love, love. He’s the same sweet and gentle guy he always was. And as you can see Chewy enjoys watching TV!

Here’s an update about Bruce Bruce, the bulldog formerly known as Chungus who was adopted in December: “Bruce Bruce is still learning his manners but he is thriving.”

“Just wanted to share an update on Cassian, who I adopted in June of last year. He just celebrated his 1st birthday and he’s doing great!”

Playful & friendly young Fluffy has been adopted!

Guinea pig cutie Stripe has been adopted! He’s gone home to live with a guinea pig buddy.

Young bunny charmer Charlie was adopted today! (His baby picture from when he arrived at the shelter is in the lower right.)

This sweet cat was adopted by his finder. He was found as a stray with an injured tail. Our vet team amputated the injured tip of his tail when he was also neutered. After healing nicely and no one coming to claim him, his finder’s family was very excited to bring him home. His new name is Mochi. Happy tails!

Adoption update! “We adopted Georgie (fka Chai) in October 2025. She’s doing great and we can’t imagine our lives without her. We have lots of adventures together, lots of love, and also training has been important! She’s a sweet, playful, funny, smart and gorgeous one (super mutt, chihuahua and pitbull). Thank you ACC for looking after her and for bringing her into our lives”

What better way to ring in the new year than a great adoption update? Tuxie boy Johnny arrived at our shelter after being hit by a car. He recovered well, but for a while his mouth’s resting position was partly open. Happily that was resolved after a few weeks. Johnny was adopted in early December and is loving his new home, as you can see. He even sleeps snuggled up with his new sister Terra every night.

Update: Chubby Cubby was adopted in November 2024 and just enjoyed her second Christmas with her forever family. “Chubby’s been a great addition to our family. Well loved by everyone! She’s lost 30 lbs since her adoption and has so much more energy.” Cubby is chubby no more!

Handsome Dobie Apollo got adopted before we even had a chance to post him. He now has a Boxer sister who’s also an SFACC grad. What a great start to the new year!

Update: “Can you believe it’s been 4 whole years since I found my humans? Time flies when you’re having a paw-some time! Life here is absolutely pawsitively amazing! I’ve trained my humans well—they shower me with treats, belly rubs, and endless love.
I have some senior age challenges, but nobody would guess my real age (no grey hair!). My heart is still very young! Every day is an adventure filled with nap times, smiles, walks with my energetic puppy sister and sniffing every tree in the neighborhood!
Have a wonderful holidays and thank you for taking care of me before I found my forever home! Yours sincerely, Kayah.”

Ele the cat came to the shelter after our animal control officers got a call on our emergency dispatch about a cat meowing loudly in an apartment building near the elevator. They found the cat in the bottom of the elevator shaft, visible only through a crack. Her adopter is the elevator technician who came out and helped us get her from beneath the elevator. Ele was injured: she had a pelvis fracture and badly broken right leg. Our vet team amputated the injured leg and now she’s off to her forever home!
