Meet Drake 😍

Drake is an 8 year old German Shepherd. He was recently surrendered by his owner in November after neighbors complained about Drake's distress from living most of his life outside.

Despite his past, Drake is a friendly guy and has fully warmed up to our staff. We believe he is ready to do the same with a new family, someone who will be patient with him as he adjusts to life inside a loving home. Drake is a typical German Shepherd: he loves treats, walks great on a leash, and is good with other dogs!

He has lost at least 5 pounds since being brought into the shelter and is overall extremely skinny for a typical German Shepherd. After running bloodwork, we determined the reason for his weight loss and resistance to weight gain, even after eating proper meals twice a day, is due to the stress of being at the shelter. Drake needs the perfect and most peaceful "retirement home" now more than ever 🥹

Drake is not the youngest pup around, but don’t let his age scare you! He is in pretty good health, and spoiling him rotten for the rest of his years will be absolutely worth it. Let’s find Drake the loving home he deserves ❤️

Drake is neutered, current on vaccines, and microchipped. Apply here to adopt: https://www.anitas-sshs.org/adopt/apply/Dog

Calling all black lab lovers to help get this senior boy out of the shelter!

This is Leroy. This sweet boy came in as a stray back in the beginning of November 2023 and was estimated to be around 10 years old. Despite his age, Leroy is not lacking any happy or good boy energy! When Leroy first arrived he was a bit timid of his new surroundings. Understandably, we gave him time to warm-up to our routine, his new routine, and showered him with all the extra TLC in-between.

Now, we get to experience the quirky, happy, and silly Leroy he was always meant to be! Leroy has been eagerly waiting for his FURever family to come pick scoop him up, but has unfortunately seen little to no interest since arriving! Leroy loves people once he warms up to them. He often gets the excited wiggles and will jump up to give you the best hugs. Leroy does love toys and plenty of space and time to run around but he settles very quickly when he, or you, is ready for cuddles 🥰

Leroy has shown to be dog selective, so we will require a dog meet as a precaution at the shelter. He did great being tested with cats, so we believe he would do well in a home with cats and kids, upon a proper introduction!

Leroy is neutered, current on vaccines, and microchipped. Apply here to adopt: https://www.anitas-sshs.org/adopt/apply/Dog

Nobody should be walking their dog in the heat of the afternoon over the next three days.

Walk them in the morning or evening instead. It will be safer for your dog's paws.

Chan has been waiting almost 3 years for YOU to throw him a tennis ball! 🎾

Chan is our third longest resident here at the shelter. He has been with us since December 2021, when he was brought to us as a stray. While it took him some time to warm up to the shelter environment, he has been nothing but a bunch of laughs since!

Chan is also one of our senior boys at the shelter. He is estimated to be around 8 years old and is a Chinese Shar-Pei mix. Chan is clearly big on toys, specifically tennis balls. He also loves treats and all the attention! He has done well with each of our staff members and is thoroughly enjoying the summer months with them, but he would really love to be enjoying them in a home with his new family!

Chan does get along with other dogs and cats 🥰 Chan is neutered, current on vaccines, and microchipped. Apply here to adopt: https://www.anitas-sshs.org/adopt/apply/Dog

Please visit the link provided to see our response which includes important facts about the Humane Society’s history serving the city and the region, and our concerns about the potential negative impacts of the direction the city has chosen to take. We appreciate your continuing support and shared values regarding the welfare of animals in our community.

We cannot believe Brie has not found a home yet!

Brie is an adorable 1 year old mixed breed pup weighing only 40 pounds! She is such a sweet girl and will definitely be hanging onto that puppy energy as long as she can. Brie is very excitable and loves human attention. She behaves extremely well in her kennel, and after just a couple of weeks of settling in, she has done great with our staff and meeting new people. She also gives the best hugs ever 🥰

Brie loves to get her energy out and will gladly accept any adventure you can take her on. She also loves water! Brie is a big fan of the creek bordering the shelter and our swimming pools... or our water buckets if we don't fill up the pool soon enough 🤣 She submerges her whole body in the pool while she is patiently waiting for visitors to play with her. She loves treats, but truthfully she just craves having people near her. She is a big cuddle bug and has done well with kids and toddlers!

She is the perfect companion or family dog. She has a lot of love to give and a lot of life to live outside of the shelter. We know someone is waiting to fall in love with this cute girl. Brie does need a home without other dogs.

Help us find her family today, we are open from 11am-5pm! Brie is spayed, current on vaccines, and microchipped. Apply here to adopt: https://www.anitas-sshs.org/adopt/apply/Dog

Kitten season is in full swing, and we are urgently in need of kitten fosters 🚨

We are seeking dedicated volunteers interested in fostering orphaned bottle baby kittens, a mama and her kittens, or orphaned kittens who need a comfortable space until they are old enough to be fixed (at the shelter). At that point, you could adopt them yourselves, or we can start the next step of finding them a home!

Interested? Please send us a message or email our Foster & Volunteer Coordinator at [email protected] for more information. Please feel free to share this post; we would greatly appreciate it!

Meet Loon!

Loon has only been with us for a short while, but she is already itching to get out of the shelter and into a home. This sweet and sassy girl is a lovable kitty and is learning to trust more and more people by the day. She likes to beat to her own drum and would do best as the only cat in the home, but she did live with dogs and kids previously!

Loon has the most beautiful, pure white coloring, and she is a cute Heterochromia girl with one green and one blue eye! We need your help getting Loon out of the shelter and into a home where she has the space and comfort to truly let her personality shine 🥰

Loon is spayed, current on vaccines, and microchipped. Apply here to adopt: https://www.anitas-sshs.org/adopt/apply/Cat

This is Pip ❤️

This past March, Pip hit her one year mark at the shelter 🥹 Pip has had minimal visitors and interest while being at the shelter, and we can't imagine why. She is such a happy and sweet 3 year old Bull Terrier with the cutest smile!

Pip came to us back in March of 2023 when her owner was no longer capable of taking care of her. Understandably, Pip was extremely anxious after being brought into the shelter environment and struggled to adjust. Luckily, she has worked wonderfully with our current and past trainers and is making great improvements with meeting new people and building relationships!

In her kennel, Pip does not give in to any of the noise. We often find her just laying down on her bed, patiently waiting for her turn to go outside or calmly playing with her toys or even keeping busy with a KONG. Once you sit down with her, she likes to think she is a lap dog...and we let her get away with it 🥰

Once outside, Pip loves to play! She enjoys exploring in the woods or walking alongside or in the creek. She knows basic commands like sit and shake but would prefer to cuddle and shower you with kisses. Overall, Pip is a lover and would really like some visitors to help her warm up and find her FURever home!

One year at the shelter is far more than enough. Please share Pip! Pip is spayed, current on vaccines, and microchipped. Apply here to adopt: https://www.anitas-sshs.org/adopt/apply/Dog

Big Bob! Bobby! The Best Boy!

Meet the boy with all the best "B" names! Most commonly, we call him Big Bob, and guess what? He is ready to find a home!

Big Bob is one of our happiest boys. He is so excitable and extremely wiggly. He does a happy tap dance every time we take him out of the kennel or ask him to sit for a treat - he can't resist the wiggles! We think it is the cutest thing 🥰

Big Bob is very friendly with people and craves human attention. He also enjoys playing with toys and will do anything for a treat or some food...or both! Big Bob just successfully finished his Heartworm treatment and was neutered this week, so he is ready and raring to get out of the shelter 😊

Big Bob is a Mastiff mix just under 60 pounds, making him the perfect companion or family dog. He has a lot of love to give, and we know someone is waiting to fall in love with this cute boy. Help us find them! Big Bob is now neutered, current on vaccines, and microchipped. Apply here to adopt: https://www.anitas-sshs.org/adopt/apply/Dog

Meet the wiggliest, happiest, and most smiley girl we have: Elise 😊

Elise came to us as a stray back in September and this girl has been nothing but a ball of energy and love since. Elise is a 4 year old Retriever/Labrador Mix, and an extremely cute one at that.

Elise loves people AND toys, she literally does not stop wiggling! Soft toys are her favorite and she will carry one around all day if you let her. She loves to run, and show off a few tricks when it is time for treats. Elise loves outside time and walks very well on a leash, she will definitely welcome some cuddles as she gets comfortable with you!

Elise has not had many visitors since being here, but we can guarantee if you give this girl a chance she will bring you nothing but laughs, cuddles, and a lot of wiggles 🥰 She gets along with other dogs her size (currently weighing just at 50 pounds) but does need a home without cats.

Elise is spayed, current on vaccines, and microchipped. Apply here to adopt: https://www.anitas-sshs.org/adopt/apply/Dog

We’ve been so grateful for the visitors that have stopped by in the past few days!

The ladies from PAR Technology stopped by with loads of donations and got to play around in the cat rooms and hang out with adoptable Maggie for a picture.

Kiley had a birthday party to celebrate her turning 10 years old and instead of presents she asked for supplies for the shelter. She was able to drop-off all these donations! Her future is certainly bright.

A few ladies from Gilroy Kernan & Gilroy stopped by to make a monetary donation of over $500, and they also got to meet our sweetest girl, Maggie and grab a photo with her.

Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a big difference in the lives of animals in need. We are endlessly grateful for our community ❤️
