Happy Adoption Tales

Sharing updates and adoption news from last month…

Wallaby turned 1. Happy Birthday buddy!

“I adopted Martha early December of last year and wanted to let you know what a grown up lady, yet extremely rambunctious and affectionate and loving still, she has become. She brings me so much joy. She really does not know the meaning of personal space at all. I renamed her Sarangi because sarang means love in Korean and she has so much love. The Calico is her sister I got few years before her.” …Martha has an Instagram account: mongshiri_moncheri

Coco, now Newsie.

 “I just wanted to
give you an update on Lily, the sweet Siamese cat that I adopted last month.
She is living with my mother whose elderly cat has terminal cancer, and this
has been a match made in heaven! Lily walked into my mom’s house like she owned
the place, and there has not been one cross word spoken between Lily and
Serbia, the elderly kitty. Lily is outgoing and friendly with family and
visitors alike, and spent the afternoon after she moved in going from lap to
lap during my mom’s monthly bridge club game. She’s been the perfect addition!
Thank you so much for our sweet Lily!”

Sarah Jessica Barker and her new mom!

ACC grad Velvet was adopted from our partner Muttville.

Iris the puppy stolen in Lafayette from Jelly’s Place Rescue was
found in San Francisco and returned to Rescue! Yay! Thank you to everyone who
shared this on Social Media. It works.

A happy update about charming fluffy Ewok, who just graduated from training class… “He was really a good boy during class. Very chill and well behaved. He didn’t bark at the dogs and wanted to play with them. Although, of all days, on graduation day, he barked at other dogs cause he wanted to play. Lol!! We want to thank SFACC for all that you do and we are so happy with our little Ewok boy.”

“We are over the moon about Agnes and Katsu, two adorable kittens from ACC, who joined our family this week! Much appreciation to their foster families. Pure joy!”

Darling Tippy has been
adopted! Her adopter owns Clement Nursery in SF where she’ll get to join him at
work!

“A few years ago my husband and I adopted our sweet Dottie (formerly Janis) from ACC. She was initially a super shy kitten but we knew with time and love she’d build the confidence she needed…and we were right! She is now the queen of the house and best friends with our two rescue pups. If she’s not snuggling with one, she’s wrestling with the other. She has been the best addition to our family. Thank you so much for our sweet girl and for all that you do ACC! ”

 “Wanted to share that Roxie kitty – has been doing great in her new home with me and Juno dog. She is calm, friendly, easy going, playful when she wants to be, loves her scratching box to roll around in. She and Ms Juno are doing well together – both being respectful.” It looks like two BFFs in the making!

Panther (formerly Roscoe) “is living his best life! … We are so blessed with our pup he is A JOY TO OUR HEARTS AND SOUL”. … Panther was adopted from SFACC in January of 2018.

In May, SFACC adopted out 89 cats, 19 dogs, and 9 small animals!
Of course when adopters come for visits or send updates, we love sharing them…

Big beautiful Indy came to the new SFACC shelter groundbreaking on May 15. She was adopted in early 2017 as a pup (was named Hannah) and has grown to be a friendly, playful and exuberant girl! She and her owner regularly stop by at SFACC to drop off treat donations. Here’s a photo of her as a pup when she was at SFACC. Thanks for coming by Indy and mom!

Update about Princess Sophia, now Eunice… “She is
the smallest kitty with the biggest meow, and loves to greet me loudly
especially when I come home to demand pets, food, and play. She loves chasing
feathery things, climbing into cardboard boxes, and following me wherever I
go–especially if I have food in my hand. Overall, she really has been super
sweet, and is a great cuddler and purr monster. Since moving in, she has slept
next to me every night and is sure to wake me up every morning demanding her
food! I love her to pieces already!”

Malcolm, our longest current shelter resident has found a great forever home! From his adopter, Matthew Wong: “This guy is very sweet! Thank you to SFACC. You guys are the best!!!! I promise I will bring him back ASAP. BTW his new name is Chuy (pronounced chewy) Wong. Look out world, here he comes!!!!!!!”

Update on Winston: “We are so pleased with our adoption of Winston 9 years ago! He is now a big brother to his human sister Ella and is a perfect gentleman 24/7. We moved from San Francisco to Boston in 2013, and then moved again to Palm Beach, Florida this past October. Each move Winston has taken in stride, but he is most happy lounging in the sun and soaking up the salt air down south. We love SFACC!”

Adorable Aubergine was
adopted recently and we’ve already received and update. His lucky adopter says
“He’s a very fun pig!”

Milo update (formerly
Mike): “loves to go on walks and say hello to all the neighbors (pups and
humans alike!), play with his toys, chase and play fetch, and snuggle on a warm
lap (And help his mom with her work 😅)!”

Silly boy Joaquin has left the building with his new mom! He’s going to be enjoying life in San Francisco. Have fun!

Little Triscuit got adopted by a very lovely
family. She will be Rooney from now on.

“I just wanted to reach out to say thank you SFACC! …We adopted our chihuahua from you back in October (during the Pet Pride Day street fair with SF SPCA). She was called Toast at the time, we had been looking for a small girl chihuahua, and after seeing her photo online and speaking with ACC staff about her personality we knew we had to meet her. The next day we were there for opening, with our other two dogs, and asked to meet Toast. 
The rest is history, she is now called Brie and is the best dog we could ask for. She gets along so well with her two brothers, constantly snuggling or bugging them to play with her. I bring her to work with me every day, where she meets new people, dogs and occasionally cats–she is playful and curious with everyone, a true social butterfly. She is an absolute dream and we couldn’t be more in love with her–so thank you for taking care of her and giving us the opportunity to adopt her.”

From the adopters of
Juliet (now Layla): “She is doing so well! She warmed up to us very quickly and
is well behaved. She responds to training very well. She’s always so happy and
she loves every person and every dog she sees. We’re socializing her very well
and overall we are so happy with her 🥰 Thank you for such a great adoption experience.” Thank YOU for
adopting!

Thank you and everyone there for making this happen. I just had this feeling he was what we and Ruby were looking for, and it feels so good to see that he feels happy and safe now. Thanks again, David and Paul”
