Saturday adoption event at Petsmart Almaden Expressway in San Jose from 11-5

Pawsitive Connections Inc, is a no-kill, 501(c)3 nonprofit dog and cat rescue. We are not a breed or age specific rescue. We take in Chihuahuas to Great Danes and puppies to seniors. We also have foster hospice cases (fospice) who live out their life with us. We adopt out approximately 300 dogs per year in addition to permanently supporting non adoptable dogs who for either behavioral or medical reasons stay with the sanctuary. Those dogs get the same medical, food, preventive treatments and playgroup time as our adoptables.

Pawsitive Connections Inc is based out of Kingsburg, CA. Founded in the Spring of 2010, we provide the service of quarantining and/or fostering dogs and cats while following appropriate vaccination schedules, as well as providing any other necessary medical care or treatment. All our animals are micro chipped and spayed or neutered prior to adoption.

California's Central Valley is a hot spot for homeless pets. As an independent rescue, we partner with Central Valley animal shelters. These shelters are often inundated with large breed adult dogs who have lower adoption rates and have a higher risk of being euthanized due to lack of space in shelters. Presently, many of our adult dogs spend many months and sometimes even years with us due to lack of interest. Most of our dogs travel on Saturdays from Kingsburg to an adoption event in San Jose, California where adoption rates are much higher.

In addition, we often take on the extra cost of pulling medical case dogs from shelters. These dogs are not considered adoptable due to the shelter's inability to afford treatment and/or lack of staff availability to provide the necessary round the clock care, and would be at risk for euthanasia without this intervention. Shelters are often not equipped to house baby animals. In a shelter environment, puppies and kittens are at high risk for catching parvo, distemper, feline panleukopenia,FeLV, and other potentially deadly viruses. Pawsitive Connections Inc supports two feral cat colonies. For felines we take in special medical cases as well as one or two litters a year that we adopt out.

As a last resort, we continue to accept owner's surrender canines. We also provide the Last Litter Program where we work with individual owners that are having unwanted litters. As part of the Last Litter Program program we spay the mother dog, who remains with the original owner, and then we take in her puppies. In this situation, we often provide healthy dog food for the nursing mother. In some situations we provide puppy food for the puppies until they are ready to be transferred to the rescue.

After each dog or cat is medically and behaviorally ready for adoption, we strive to place them in their best forever home.
