Adoption update! “Hi – It has been 7 months since we were lucky enough to get Poppy (aka Priscilla). I wanted to let you and your team know she is the BEST dog and brings us so much joy and love.

She went through training and knows all the basics plus some fun stuff and walks on and off leash like a champ. She loves to hike off leash, play with the big jolly ball in the back yard, sleep on the bed and most of all get love and snuggles.

We love her through and through and can’t imagine life without her.”

Bunday adoption update! “Freddie has been such a wonderful addition to our family! She is super sweet and loves hanging out with us in the living room. She entertains us with her binkies (sidekicks!) and zoomies. She’s also a great cuddler and listener — the kids love to read to her and it has really helped with their confidence. We are so grateful to our friend Angie and her family for doing such an amazing job fostering her and nurturing her into such a social butterfly. We love her so much!”

Woohoo! After waiting almost 4 months, sweet boy Jacob has been adopted!

“We adopted Maverick now Simon aka Snoop Cat last June 2022. Simon was very shy and withdrawn at the shelter but something kept attracting me to him. It’s been a slow process for Simon to open up and relax but it is so worth it. He is like a flower opening up and now sleeps close to my side every night and follows me around like a dog. He is one of the noisiest kitties I’ve ever had. He is very clever, opening doors, and even snooping on the internet lol. He has been a lot of fun and adds a lot of spice to our apartment.”

“I adopted this cutie a few months ago. While waiting on me lol his name was Kiefer I believe. He is now Boo and is as sweet as sugar. Plays fetch with his balls and enjoys sitting by the window. Thought i would send some pictures of this handsome boy in his forever home!”

After waiting 6 months at the shelter and losing his beloved sister, Koda has found his forever home, complete with new big beds to lie on, new friends of all species, and so many new smells to explore. His adopter says “He’s such a good boy and loves the farm.” Happiest of tales for Koda!

Handsome Casper was adopted last month and we already got a great update: “After much deliberation we have named him Louie, and we are absolutely in love with this little love bug. He’s slowly exploring the house and is learning to coexist with our dog Basil. We hope soon they will be friends! Thank you for bringing him into our lives.”

Junior house panther Jellybean has been adopted!

We love when alumni visit! Beautiful Esther Rose was adopted from us way back in June 9, 2012 and is doing great. She and her mom came by to renew her license and check out the new shelter.

A great update: “This is coco and I got her last month at the shelter and she loves the sun so much!!!!! Yes please she is so happy living with me in Japan town, and has taken a liking to cuddles, as usual, and ham, and cuddles in the morning, and lots of love.”

Our favorite cow pittie Tillamook has been adopted! Happy tails!

Diamond was adopted by her foster family!

Stevie’s update…
“My roommate and I adopted a sweet kitty named Octavia in September 2021 from SF ACC. I went back and looked at her old adoption advertisement post for the memories and I wanted to give an update on her!

We decided to rename Octavia to Stevie. We call her a lot of different nicknames like Steven, Steve-o, Stinky, Stinker, etc. It was serendipitous that we adopted her, because we originally were going to ACC to look at a different cat, and hadn’t even seen her listed online. But we fell in love with her and I’m so glad we adopted her!!

Stevie is such a sweet, spunky, and loving girl. She loves to hang out with us while we watch TV, chase bugs, and frolic in our backyard. She’s very social and likes to greet anyone who comes over by smelling their feet. She’s actually really into rubbing feet, so we call her our little freak! Most mornings she will cuddle in bed with me and knead on her fuzzy blanket.

We are so grateful to ACC for taking care of Stevie when she was surrendered, and for giving her the surgery needed for her leg! We hope whoever surrendered her feels comforted that she is well loved and taken care of. Thank you so much for all you do!”
