April 2023

Poppy (fka Priscilla) adoption update! “Hi SFACC Family – Today marks Poppy’s 31st day with us and she celebrated with a hamburger “cake” and a hike in the drizzly rain. She is the absolute best dog and Larry and I are so in love with her. She has had a few adventures these past couple weeks – been to Sunriver, Oregon and saw snow and has met the Pacific Ocean a few times. She loves to romp on the beach!

We are working on training and she is really mastering recall. Most importantly, she was always a happy dog but now she is showing more confidence and curiosity daily. She can walk on a leash without being fearful of trucks and loud noises (her brother Teddy helps her) and she loves to sun in the backyard on her bed. She and Teddy get along beautifully and are seldom apart. She has also gained a couple pounds and filled out a bit.

She is bringing us so much joy and we are so grateful to SFACC staff and volunteers. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Poppy wanted me to send you this message – “Hi – I love you guys but I think I will stay here. I like it a lot. My mom calls me all kinds of silly names and gives me the 100 kisses torture each night before bed. Bye!”

Much love, Tracy and Larry”

Monday is a great day for Sundae: This sweet senior lady was just adopted!

Wee pup Lil Baby was adopted last week and we have an update! “Lil Baby has been super sweet and likes cuddles all day everyday. she’s doing well and she behaves well. She is a Velcro dog but I’m looking forward to her training! She loooves snuggling in between pillows and being comfy, especially because of the coldness here in Daly City! She’s super cute! I named her Guinevere; she responds well to the name and behaves when I call her Guinevere. Her fave toy is the cow, she snuggles with it.”

Pierre (soon to be Bruce) and his new forever family! They’re planning his Instagram account and we can’t wait to hear updates!

Penny was adopted in 2019: “She was so shy when I first met her. I was told she was taken to Petco to see if it would help get her adopted because she hid from strangers at the shelter. I went to Hawaii for a week but couldn’t stop thinking about her and the day I got home she returned to the shelter from Petco. When I went to visit her the second time, she crawled right into my lap and I knew it was meant to be!

She follows me everywhere and is always either in my lap, on my shoulder, or sleeping on me. Her nickname is Penny Pie. …I adopted her about a year after my 20-yr-old cat, Rocky, passed away.”

Yay! Merlin has been adopted.

She and Teddy are the best of friends, she got a new coat which she loves, and a new bed which she loves (only for day use – nights she is in the bed with us!) and she is def not a fan of rainy weather!

“Hi all! It’s me Rocky, formerly known as Craig! It’s been a year since I went home with my family to Oregon. Since then I have grown up to the handsome guy you see in the picture! My daily adventures include forest walks, playing in the snow, watching all the wildlife roam by, including turkeys, deer, foxes, and chickens. My favorite snack is turkey poop. I have had several playdates with the local girls, Misty, Missy and Luna. I get to go for rides with Dad to his jobs and I am a good boy. My favorite stop is the post office because the lady behind the desk will ask me to sit then throw me a treat! I sure have them all trained! The only thing I haven’t mastered yet is the big black kitty. He’s still a brute, but we are making progress. Mom says I play too hard with him, but I can’t help it. He’s so fluffy!”

She continues to thrive and share her sweet love with everyone (human or animal) she meets!”

Adoption update: “Wanted to send an email about the kitten I was so blessed to have been able to adopt on September 7th. His given name was Felix but I chose to name him Fish!! He has warmed up wonderfully and I’m very proud to be his mom! Still not entirely sure how old he is but he was said to be about 5 months when I adopted him!! He still has lots of kitten mannerisms but he has grown and blossomed so much. He’s become quite the picky and spoiled type but he deserves it, thank you for connecting me to him and allowing me to adopt him into my little family.”

Adoption update: “I wanted to thank you for allowing me to adopt Atticus (now Foley) in August of last year. He is a sweet, rambunctious guy who loves naps, playing, and video bombing Zoom calls. He’s grown a bit, and has become quite the fierce house panther. Many a cat toy has met its end in his claws. But being a well-rounded gentleman, he is also a champion snuggler. I’m so appreciative of the great care received while at Animal Care and Control and the amazing staff and volunteers who helped him find his forever home. I wish you all the best in this holiday season and the year to come.”
