That's Bode (Bo-dee) to You!

Sweet, petite, with a little sass thrown in – meet Bode, a 3 year-old Chihuahua mix from San Martin Animal Shelter.

Bode may be teeny, but his lack of stature is made up for in personality! A sweet, guy, Bode is in training to get his doggie social skills back in order as he can be picky about the furry friends he keeps. But never fear – the right small dog and patient family could make this little Napoleon see the err of his ways quite quickly, as we have seen him shine in our playgroups at the shelter.

Bode’s ideal home is one that will help him through his socially awkward ways as well as give him lots of cuddle time! If it sounds like true love, meet Bode!

A Day in the Life of Tabitha

It’s difficult to take one stellar picture of Tabitha when her favorite pastime is nestling under your shoulder, so we chose four. Each day Tabitha surprises us with more adorableness; most recently she’s discovered the joys of snuggling under covers. Other bedroom habits include gentle spooning, exuberant purring, and hardcore cuddling.

Her kitchen skills are also amazing, and of course she specializes in biscuit making. Talented Tabitha would like a very quiet home where she can continue to explore her many domestic interests in a cat-, kid-, and dog-free environment.

If you’re looking for a mellow cat who will cuddle with you to the end of time, Tabitha would like the rest of her eternity to start with you.

Homeward Bound: From Kumquat to Otis

Otis (formerly Kumquat) has grown leaps and bounds over the past few weeks. He is extremely smart and had learned his basic training in a matter of days, plus a few more tricks like "shake" and "bed".

He came in weak from his ear surgery and sick from all his medication but he was a trooper. Today, he is a happy-go-lucky dog and has even made friends with his brother cat, Rocko.

He has some separation anxiety but we are working on it. He is growing more independent every day because he is picking up the message that we will always come back.

He is becoming a confident dog with lots of personality. His favorite hobbies include solving treat puzzles, fetching his toys, and going on walks around the city.

Otis says "hi" to all his old friends at Pets Unlimited!

Would you like to play Peek-a-boo with Picabo?

A gentle soul looking for the same in a human, meet Picabo – a 1.5 year-old Labrador / Border Collie Mix from San Martin Animal Shelter.

Originally found as a stray by a good Samaritan, Picabo is sweet but sensitive, and is still acclimating to the crazy city around her. Picabo’s ideal home would be adults only, ready to work on her under-socialization with other dogs, and loves the idea of a jogging or hiking companion. This docile lady needs stability and kindness more than anything, and we know that once she meets her human match, they will soon be inseparable.

If you are looking for a devoted kind of love, look no further than our beloved Picabo.

Magpie's Fairytail Ending

Dear Pets Unlimited and Shannon especially,

We are so happy we found our cat at Pets Unlimited. When we first met Lark, she was a bit shy, but she had too much energy to stay hidden for long and would come out to play and be petted.

When we took her home with us, she really blossomed into a fun, playful and sweet little cat. Six and a half pounds full grown, she has the energy of three kittens packed in her little frame. She is a ball of energy and LOVES to play. She chases her tail, sometimes jumping in the air and spinning 180 degrees trying to catch it! Her other activities include chasing toy mice, playing ping-pong ball soccer, sleeping in our laps, and greeting us when we come home.

She is very dog-like in a good way. I can't imagine a better match for our household. We are so fortunate to have found the perfect cat at Pets Unlimited. Her new name is Magpie, but we usually call her Maggie. The name suits her perfectly: she is sweet and sassy and gives us so much happiness every day.

Thank you so much,
Tom and Karen
