Gorgeous Queen Antoinette has found her forever kingdom.

Senior shepherd dreamboat Bruno has gone home! He even has a new shepherd mix brother, also adopted from ACC.

Adoption update! Mama cat Thais arrived at the shelter with her many kittens and a badly injured jaw that makes it difficult to eat. Happily she was adopted by one of our cat volunteers who sent us this update. “What a year it’s been with Cheese (aka Anne Shirley Feeney, fka Thais Nancy Gertrude Stein, fka Thais)! She rules the roost, and especially loves yoga, birdwatching, interior decorating, and holidays. She brings joy every day. Thank you ACC for rescuing her and attending to her and her nine (!!) babies. We are so lucky to have her!”

Adoption update! “Hello everyone at SFACC, I wanted to send you some pics of Maddie. I adopted her March 2024. I love her and she is doing so well. She is even sweet to my little old man cat Quincy. She is super playful and just learning how nice it is to sit on my lap. Thank you for all you do!”

Maple

Batito and his fantastic ears were adopted in the fall of 2023. He’s grown into those ears and is doing great with his new family!

Potato

Peanut Butter has been adopted and gone home to live with Pax, an SFACC alum.

Update on Queen Skye (formerly Laura), adopted November 2024! “We are thrilled to share that Queen Skye has seamlessly integrated into our family from the very first day. She is truly the apple of our eye, bringing joy and companionship beyond words.
One of the most remarkable aspects of Skye is her incredible responsiveness—she listens attentively to commands like “come,” “sit,” “go,” “jump,” and “get down,” and most importantly, she understands “no” when we need to guide her away from unwanted behaviors. If the door is open, simply saying “stay” is enough for her to hold her ground.
Her affectionate nature is just as impressive.She warmly greets visitors, enjoys being petted, and is always ready for snuggles, kisses, and headbutts. She follows our household routine perfectly, sleeping through the night without a fuss, and adapting to our schedule like a disciplined and intelligent toddler, except she seems to understand even more!
Skye is a purrfectly lovable, charming, and well-mannered girl, bringing endless delight to our lives. She continues to brighten every moment, and we are deeply grateful to have her as part of our family.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to welcome Queen Skye into our home, she is an absolute treasure.”

June 2025

Jarritos was recently adopted after waiting patiently for 5 months. His name is now Azukar (AKA Mr. Sugar Cube Toes) and he’s loving his new life: playing with his canine cousin on the beach, exploring a Sniff Spot, and cuddling with his loving adopter. Check out his sweet new ID tag!

May 2025

Momo was adopted by his foster family!

“I’m sharing an adoption update 11 years in the making. My husband and I adopted Lulu over Presidents’ day weekend in 2014. Named Cinnamon at the time, she was a scrawny, shy 9-month old puppy. I’m happy to report that she quickly blossomed into a loving, spunky (kind of sassy) lady who has been by our sides through many meaningful life moments, including, most notably, the birth of our daughter, Camille, in 2018. Seeing Camille grow up alongside Lulu is truly the greatest gift. Thank you for everything you do. We couldn’t imagine life without our Lu.”

Look who came to visit: Li’l Provolone is now named Piglet.

Pinto and Cannellini

Posey

Update: “Here’s our almost one-month update since adopting Kuchi Kuppa, now named Chancho. He fits into our large family great. For Easter he got to meet the extended family. He enjoys car rides, going to car shows with his big human brother, walks, his stuffy and a pup cup to start our weekends. He’s the perfect addition to our family!”

Curly

Update: Gibbons came to us as stray and went to our rescue partner Paddington Station in 2023. “He ended up going to a foster home in Felton and that’s where I picked him up. I got him the day before my birthday. He’s a happy little guy who loves his toys and trips to the dog park. At Christmas time he gets to go to Grandma and Grandpa’s house in the New Mexico mountains and he loves the snow too!”

Moe was adopted and has a larger sibling.

Sydney

Rocco (formerly known as Tommy).

Clark Construction Visit

Clark Construction Group recently visited SFACC for Bring Your Kids to Work Day. Clark Construction built SFACC’s new beautiful shelter, and Clark moms and dads were happy to show their kids their handiwork. The children had a tour of the shelter, visited with bunnies, met an adorable puppy, and heard about the work of the Animal Control Officers (thanks to Officer Mullen). They also worked on arts and crafts projects.

Thank you, Clark Construction! It was great meeting the kids, and we’re grateful you built us a fantastic home!

April 2025

Adoption update: “Amos (previously Huey, adopted 12/24) is the bestest boy. The snuggle is real! Those ears. Wasn’t sure which way they’d go. Up, up is where they went!”

Little tabby Kevin went home to a new big brother who can show him the ropes.

Falkor, our very own Magical Luck Dragon, has flown off to his Neverending Love Story.

Adoption update: “Snacks—now Hilda as in Hilda of Trolberg, HildaBeast, and HildaGirl—is a beloved member of our family! She loves playing with her lookalike sister and is obsessed with her cat siblings. She’s a great cuddler, always excited to chase a ball, and is learning how to whisper instead of barking authoritatively. She is an absolute love. We enjoy it when people ask what breed our girls are—our Bully Shepherds are the best!”

Big smushy hunk Kuchi Kopi as gone home.

Sweet, shy pup Shadow has been adopted by a shepherd-loving couple! His new name is Joe.

Adoption update: “Hello – I wanted to update you on Jasper (FKA Roland, adopted 7/24). He’s grown into an exuberantly orange guy with a ridiculously floofy fox tail & is quite the Velcro-cat who loves his tiny red ball & his roller ball track toy. His ‘mousing’ moves & crazy high vertical jumps are impressive. He could kick kitty litter for the Olympics!”

Adoption update: “I adopted Sugar and Smokey back in July 2024. Their new names are Fritto(orange) and Misto(gray). They have been the absolute best boys! They love their play time and napping together. They love bird watching and laying on the couch. Misto loves feather toys and Fritto loves a good kicker toy. They have brought nothing but joy and love to our household. We are so grateful to have them in our lives. I have attached some photos of them. A huge thank you for giving us our sons!”

“As we approach the 1 year adoption anniversary (April 29,2024) of Isabel formerly Taquito we thought you would like an update: Isabel has been a joy, she is extremely smart, funny and has the kindest heart. She loves both her human and dog brothers and enjoys playing with them nonstop. When we adopted Isabel she was 6lbs and 9 weeks old, now she is 55lbs and 14 months, we love her so much and could not be happier that she is part of our family. Thank you for all you do for these amazing animals.”

Adoption update! Handsome good boy Kermit was adopted in February and is doing great with his forever family! We’re happy to report that he kept his name and his stellar splooting skills.
