Happy Adoption Tales

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!

ACC grad/Muttville adoption update on Logan, now Luca: “He is amazingly happy and adjusting so well here! Our female cocker loves being around him! I actually went out and bought a large Labrador-sized bed today because they always sleep together and it melted our hearts last night when they immediately crawled in together and slept all night in the same bed. 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”

The adopters of Charlie (formerly Charles, adopted Dec. ‘18) report “…we cannot imagine our lives without him. He loves snuggling in bed, eating peanut butter and playing in the office with his buddy Milo!”

“I wanted to write a quick note to share that it’s been 2 years since I adopted my sweet girl, Beatrix. I adopted her on 1/15/17 and her name at ACC was ‘Navy‘. I celebrate her birthday on the same day as her “gotcha” day so she’s also turning 3 years old!
Adopting Beatrix was the very best decision I’ve made, not just in recent years, but probably ever. She’s a playful, well-mannered girl with a huge heart and devotion to those who love her. She’s an expert cuddler and mischievous scamp. She keeps me sane, makes me laugh every day and helps me refocus on what’s important in my life – her. She’s my souldog. Like a lot of people say about dogs, they give us more than we’ll ever be able to give to them. Each day is a joy and I’m so lucky we found each other at ACC.”

Fluffy Fenton found his forever family.

Bruno’s family♥. They are very thrilled and excited that he is settling in nicely: “Hi Georjean, please pass my sincere thanks over to all the staff there–you were all great, very friendly and made the whole adoption experience wonderful. Bruno is now known as Kitty-Kane.
Sonee is a mixed lab we adopted from your shelter back in early May 2007. Kitty definitely likes his tennis balls, they can keep his attention for a while. Both dogs are getting used to each other, with Sonee trying to set some boundaries. Sonee hasn’t been around a puppy for a while–Kitty has a lot of energy whereas Sonee loves her nap times. Last night Kitty slept in his crate very well. Thanks!
Harbir”

A #HappyTails update from the adopters of Pax (adopted last Dec.): “He’s a happy pup for sure! Such a love and cuddlebug. He has so much energy but at the same time can be the laziest pup we’ve seen when he wants to cuddle with us. He has the cutest personality and wherever we take him, he always stops people so they can say hi to him and give him love. He’s growing up so quickly and doing so well in his training classes. Thanks for bringing him into our lives!”
