He would do anything love!

Also known as “Loveloaf,” “Meatie,” and “Little Man,” meet Meatloaf – a 1.5 year-old Terrier mix who came into our program as scared and sensitive as they come. After a few weeks of socializing with staff, polishing up his confidence with playgroups, and sharing some much deserved park time, Meatie is finally ready to find his forever-home.

A timid boy at first, Meatloaf is looking for a gentle, patient owner with dog experience to help him out of his shell. He would benefit from another tolerant, mellow dog or cat friend as a playmate, however if you have a warm lap and a bit of chicken, “he would do anything love”!

Meet your Meatloaf today!

Meet Sweet-and-Sassy Cassie!

Mama Cass is one hot ticket! In addition to her shockingly sweet personality, Cassie’s the product of some fabulous genetics – likely of Ragdoll or Birman heritage – that resulted in her rare, blue tortie point coloration.

Arriving at Pets Unlimited with her sister Lilly, Cassie had no love lost during her transition from housecat to shelter cat, immediately soliciting affection from everyone in sight. Though she may not want pets ALL the time, she’s good at politely walking away instead of being fractious.

Cassie’s ideal home is one where she can be the only pet and where the household members teenaged and older love to practice their hairstyling skills!

Come find out what makes Mama Cass such a rockstar!

Make Some Music with Amadeus!

This handsome gent hails from Oakland Animal Services. Found as a stray hit by a car, Amadeus was in desperate need of medical care and a new lease on life.

A charming Schnauzer 3 years-young, Amadeus is looking for a home that includes lots of snuggles and playtime with his owners. And while he is practically perfect in every way, Amadeus prefers the company of people (even older kids!) to other furry creatures.

A good boy with much to offer, he hopes regular grooming, lots of low-key neighborhood walks, and plenty of movie nights on the sofa are in his near-future. If you’re ready to be rocked, meet Amadeus today!

Meet Our Weiner of a Dog, Quid!

This long, red gentleman is Quid, a 2 year-old Dachshund mix boy was found as a stray in San Martin. While working on his on-leash manners, Quid would love to find a forever home big on cuddling, fetch, socializing him to gentle strangers, and admiring those fabulous ears!

A playful guy once he’s warmed up, Quid could be a good addition for another active, rough & tumble doggie, but prefers the company of adults only while he is getting used to city life. Quid loves attention from the people he knows best and would benefit from positive shy dog classes to be at his very best.

If you are looking for a sensitive boy with a puppy heart, meet Quid!

Meet Our Mathematical Kitty Genius, Noether!

Enchanting little Noether does more than pose prettily for pictures. Sister to kittens Hypatia and Godel, Noether is also named after a mathematical genius (Emmy Noether, whom Einstein described as “the most important woman in the history of mathematics”).

She is likely an Oriental Shorthair mix, and she loves to have her sleek coat caressed and scratched after a good tumble with the toys. Polite and fairly temperate, Noether should go home with another kitten or young adult cat for companionship, and household members should be teenaged or older.

If you’re looking for the love theorem, Noether’s got your solution.

Who Can Resist An Underbite?

All it takes from this guy is a head-tilt and that underbite to get you on board. We joined the Euro fanclub quickly after his arrival from the San Martin Animal Shelter.

Euro is a 2 year old Dachshund mix who is long, low-ridin’, and a complete lovebug. We’re ready to pass on the craze to a forever-home that will return all the affection this pooch dishes out daily. Euro would flourish in a gentle, patient environment where he can learn some basic training and practice his canine social skills!

If you think you’re immune to the craze, think again! Scratch that itch and ask about Euro! He’s a handsome guy with a silly grin that’s sure to melt your heart!

From Abused to Beloved... Meet B.B.!

B.B. must have been born with a huge heart of gold. Transferred to Pets Unlimited from Animal Care & Control after winning her abuse case, B.B. has never held a grudge against other humans.

Currently living it up in our cat community room, B.B. thinks people and other cats are pretty cool, especially when it comes to playtime. You’ll fall for her at the sight of her perfect milk mustache that rounds out her formal tuxedo look.

B.B.’s hoping for a quieter home with parents who like to dote on their precious princess. She can tango with other animals, but doesn’t care for human rugrats around too much.

If you’re looking to show a kitty just how great life can be, B.B. awaits your visit.

Meet Our Resident Heart Thief, Bonnie!

Look at this face! Bonnie’s the sort of girl you’d knock a bank over for any day - and don’t let her age fool you, she’s more than up for the adventure!

This 6 years-young Chihuahua mix is full of energy, affection, and confidence. Lovely Bonnie will impress you with her spunky demeanor and snuggly side. While working on her leash manners she is certainly no slouch in the play department and could be a great addition for another matching canine.

She would love a forever-home ready to build up her confidence with basic training and couchtime! Part spit-fire, part sweetness, this little lady has it all – meet your match in Bonnie today!

Meet Playful Huntington Today!

Our Huntington is named after the beach, but as you can see from the picture, he could have been named for his enthusiastic playstyle.

There is so much energy and love in this one petite cat that it flows like a river to the delta of your heart. Easygoing and confident, Huntington would be the perfect companion to children of any age, who could pick him up, rub his belly, and generally be silly with him.

Since Huntington doesn’t have many personal boundaries, any dogs or other cats should be confident enough to keep him in check. If you want to be where the action is, make sure to be where Huntington’s at!

Meet Our Snuggle Bug, "Velcro" Vera!

We’re pleased to introduce you to Thelma, a 6 year-old Dachshund / Beagle mix who has made her way back into our facility after 5 years away.

Surrendered due to injuries sustained after a dog attacked her, Thelma has recovered and is ready to find her loving forever-home. While good with other dogs, Thelma would prefer to be the only canine love of your life as her confidence is still blossoming.

A “velcro-dog” with an affinity for snuggles, Thelma is an ideal dog for a retiree or stay-at-home family. A wonderfully sweet cuddlebug, her favorite things include hanging out in the office beanbag chair and walking through the park.

Meet Thelma today!

Meet Our Parlor Panther, Annika!

Annika isn’t just like any other black cat. She immediately dazzled staff with her exotic looks and exuberant personality.

Always vying for affection or play, Annika wasn’t sure how to navigate the other cats in the community room at first, but now she understands that she’s no longer living in a cat-eat-cat world and can relax with her new buddies.

Because of her round face, shorter snout, and sleek black coat, we think Annika might be a fancy Bombay mix. Annika would do well with rough and tumble teenagers or adults, other confident cats, or even a couple dogs.

Come fall in love with Annika so you can have your own “parlor panther”!

Meet the oh-so-adoptable Rosalind Today!

Soft and tender Rosalind hails from the not-so-far away land of Hayward. Once regarded as an unclaimed stray, this English cream Dachshund mix has since blossomed into a fair lady.

Rosalind is a gentle soul with a lot of energy, and would do well in an adult-only environment where she can work on building her doggy social skills - she’s a socialite-in-the-making! Rosalind is looking for a quiet, and loving household where she can go to doggy school, have park outings, and lots of lap time.

If you’re looking for a princess without the frill, a polite and spirited girl, Rosalind is patiently awaiting a visit from you.

Meet Cat-nik Dharma Today!

Whether it’s how she chirrups for love when she sees you; or her way of pushing into your body because she can’t possibly get close enough to you; or how she looks into your eyes so tenderly, 10 minutes with Dharma and you’ll find something to fall in love with.

Returning to our shelter after a decade away, our beatnik Dharma decided she needed to meditate and spread the love more. She’s not sensitive about her body image and loves to have every inch tickled, so quiet kids would make perfect yoga buddies. Dharma has a history of living peacefully with other cat-niks, and could dig other small animals, too.

Sound like a soulmate? That’s just “Some of the Dharma.” Come meet all of her today!

Make Contact with Mork & Mindy Today!

These vivacious characters came to us from Stanislaus County as a brother and sister super team. Bonded buddies, Mork & Mindy are a pair of Cocker Spaniels- aged 4 & 3 years- who enjoy quiet playtime and leisurely strolls through the neighborhood.

While Mork enjoys meeting and greeting fellow dogs, Mindy prefers her brother’s company over other pawed pals. Their pleasant, clownish dispositions shine while hanging out with familiar, gentle faces. These snuggle buddies are looking for a mellow, adult-only home where they can be the stars of the show.

If you’re looking for some cuddly companions, teleport on over and make contact with Mork & Mindy!

In the mood for a ton of love?

Five-year-old Mattie is a sweet, tubby cat who will shower you with lots of love and affection. Mattie’s family moved away and weren’t able to take her with them, but that will not stop her from striking up a conversation with you and sitting on your lap!

From the looks of her, Mattie was quite the spoiled princess, with lots and lots of food to eat. Mattie would love a family who can help her shape up. Easy-going and playful, Mattie gets along with dogs, teens, and first-time cat owners.

Mattie would fit right into a forever home whether it is lively, mellow, or somewhere in between! Meet your new lap-warmer today!

Meet our prize-winning cuddler, Agatha!

Dainty and darling, our friend Agatha hails from Fremont where she was found as a stray and never claimed. This beautiful little 8 years-young Rat Terrier mix specializes in warming laps, hearts, and being rather jaunty on her walks through the neighborhood.

A petite princess, Agatha is tolerant of both dogs and cats, but asks for a teens-and-up home as she can be a bit shy with handling before she knows you. This joyful gal would love to show off her fabulous leash skills and laid-back demeanor to her forever-home, so if you are looking for a dog that’s easy like Sunday morning and likes to sleep in by your side, meet the amazing Agatha today!

Fancy, funny, and full of wordliness – meet Vera, an 11-years-young Pekingese / Corgi mix who has returned to our program after 7 years away. Vera is a wonderful girl who is looking for a mellow, gentle home to fill with companionship, smiles, and tranquility.

While she is working on getting more comfortable, her ideal adults-only home could very well include another easy-going dog or cat. If you’d like to meet this gorgeous (and she knows it!) gal, come on in today!
