Go on an adventure with Huckleberry!

This sturdy hunk of a dog is Huckleberry, a three year-old Labrador Retriever mix from San Martin Animal Shelter.

Found running down a highway in the area by a good Samaritan, Huckleberry is understandably still reeling from the experience and is looking for an adults-only home with space in their hearts for this sometimes-nervous big boy. A well-muscled adolescent, Huck is still working on his doggie social skills and prefers a long jog around the Presidio instead of the dog park any day.

An excellent companion, a certified cuddle-bug, and a five-star athlete, Huckleberry is ready to find his forever-home – could it be with you? Meet Huck today!

Mark Your Calendars for Josephine's Ninth Adoption-versary!

Josephine was adopted on May 22, 2001 from Pets Unlimited where she was known as "Meow Meow". She was a roommate of Elmo, a black and white cat.

When I adopted her the staff would tell stories of her never being quiet, so they would let her run around and play with Astro, a pit bull that came to the shelter. Josephine is now 9 years old, but still plays like a kitten. She loves her laser pointer, mice or "rat finks" and even a paper bag still serves hours of entertainment.

She is still temperamental and runs the house, but ultimately a love. She has had quite an adventure moving from the Bay Area to San Diego and back to Chico where she currently resides. She is an amazing part of my life and I feel many times that she picked me rather then the other way around.

Thank you Pets Unlimited for the opportunity to make Josephine a part of my family.

Meet Our Trio of FIV+ Kitties

Evan is a special cat in so many ways. First, we think he’s a fancy breed called a Turkish Van. Second, his orange markings are interspersed with brown tabby stripes. Third, he’s a talkative Cuddle Master of the First Order. And finally, he was born cryptorchid, so one of his “bits” never descended and he’s lived most of his life only semi-neutered. As a result, he’s got testosterone-fueled muscles in his cheeks and neck, and the extra hormones led to roaming outdoors, which in turn caused him to get FIV. Now that he really IS neutered, he’s ready for an affection-filled family, especially if there are kids or a dog at home.

Just like her darling and sometimes misunderstood namesake, Panda is not what you’d expect. She’s an independent spirit, but by no means antisocial. She doesn’t solicit petting, but she’ll roll over for belly rubs once you get going. She doesn’t run around her condo like it’s the Grand Prix, but she loves a good interactive toy. Panda would be the perfect companion for someone who wants an affectionate cat who isn’t needy and an animated cat who isn’t overly athletic. Her FIV+ status means she needs to be an only cat or with other FIV+ cats, but she’d surely adapt to a dog or children in the house. You’re home is the real natural habitat for Panda!

Our Meerkat pops out of her tree when you least expect it, just like a real meerkat out of the ground! Originally from North Carolina, she made the near-3,000-mile trip after her owners abandoned her and the saintly upstairs neighbor flew her out here to find her new, lifelong home. Some people meet Meerkat and think she’s shy, but she’s really just reserved. She’s always ready for lots of petting, and she loves to snag that string toy when you float it her way. As an FIV+ cat, Meerkat would need to be an only feline or have other FIV+ buddies. She seems to enjoy children, and she’s confident enough to handle a cat-savvy dog. If you’re looking for a quiet, lapwarming cat, give Meerkat a try!

90% of cats that test positive for FIV lead long, healthy lives when they live in homes where they're well loved and well cared for. We hope that you'll give one of these special kitties a chance at a forever home!

You Say Toma-toe, I Say Toma-toh

Cuteness + floppy ears & paws + smartypants = Tomato! This sweet, bouncy Rhodesian Ridgeback mix girl is three-month old Tomato!

Quirky, hilarious, and full of puppy love, Tomato came to us from San Martin Animal Shelter and sprang her way (very quickly) into our hearts. Ready to ketch-up on all she missed out on, Tomato would love a new home ready for puppy classes, socialization, and all the trimmings of puppyhood. A spry & exhuberant player, she could even go home with an active dog or cat that has had doggie experience!

If you are looking for a puppy that will be at the head of her class, meet Tomato today!

And, if you're planning on being in the neighborhood this weekend, stop by our Valentine's Day Bake Sale and bring home something sweet for friends and family!
