My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello Friends! My name is Junior, I'm a neutered, 1 and a half year old, pit bull/boxer mix who currently weighs around 62 lbs. I'm an energetic boy that loves running full speed whenever I can! I will bound right into your heart with my adorable antics and rambunctious personality. Since I am a big boy that tends to be on the exuberant side, I would do best in a home with dog-savvy kids aged 6+. I'm a smart boy that already has solid 'sit' skills, but I am still working on my leash skills (I'm just so excited). Zoomies and rope toys are my absolute faves! If you are looking for a playful, goofy new friend that can't wait to get outside and have all the fun, please stop by and say hi. Just ask Customer Service about JuniorID# A953695

I recently went on a hike with a PHS volunteer! Here's how I did:

Junior had an off-site adventure today at Robert E. Woolley State Park. When I first entered his roof dorm, he greeted me with lots of energy and jumping. Junior was willing to get into the back seat of my car, though he needed some assistance coordinating his back legs to climb all the way in. On the drive, he was calm, quietly observing and sniffing out the window. At the park, Junior handled passing bikes, joggers, and walkers very well—he showed no reaction to people approaching from behind or ahead. He seemed indifferent to all the birds we encountered, including Canadian geese grazing on the grass, crows on the ground and flying around, seagulls overhead, a heron in the lagoon, and other birds out on the bay. While he did pull toward other dogs, there were no signs of aggressive body language or vocalizations. We made one lap around the lagoon, with no hesitation crossing the inlet bridge or stepping onto the fishing pier. We spent some time on the pier watching people and the planes landing at nearby SFO. When Junior appeared restless, we left the park and went window shopping on Broadway. He pulled toward a few dogs there as well, but continued to display friendly, social body language, and I was able to maintain a safe distance. When we returned to his dorm, we ended the trip with a training session. Junior was calm, focused, and responsive during this time.

 



Unless otherwise indicated, adoptable animals are located at our Lantos Center for Compassion at 1450 Rollins Road, Burlingame, CA 94010. 

You may call us at 650-340-7022 to schedule an appointment, or just drop by. Drop-In hours for Same Day Adoptions are 11 am – 5 pm, 7 days a week (closed major holidays).

We do our best to update our listings regularly, but we can’t guarantee every animal you see is still available. It’s also typical for us to have animals who haven’t had their photos taken yet, so you are welcome to visit our adoption center and have a look around!

To check on an animal's adoption status, please call 650-340-7022 during normal business hours to speak with an adoption counselor. Emails will be returned as soon as possible, but please allow up to 48 hours during busy adoption periods like weekends.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

When a potential adopter comes into the shelter and sees an animal he or she is interested in adopting, we ask the potential adopter to first complete an Adoption Profile. Then, one of our knowledgeable customer service representatives brings the adopter and animal together in one of our Get Acquainted Rooms. There they have a quiet, private space to get to know each other better. During the visit, the customer service representative may discuss the following:

- past experiences with animals and current animals in the home
- lifestyle, including work schedule and the kinds of activities they plan to do with their companion animal
- housing situation - own or rent, size of yard, etc
.
In order to make the best match possible for a family and home, we suggest potential adopters bring along all members of the household to meet the new companion animal and bring their current dog(s) to meet a potential dog. Adopters must also be 18 or older. Again, thank you for thinking of PHS/SPCA. We hope you find the companion animal you are looking for.

PHS/SPCA reserves the right to deny adoptions. Our priorities are the health, safety and future well-being of the animals in our care and the health, safety and expectations of people who visit us with hopes of finding a pet who will match their interests, lifestyle and existing companion animal(s).

More about this shelter

PHS/SPCA, a private non-profit guided by the humane ethic, builds healthy relationships between people and animals. As an ethical choice, we accept all animals in need of care and often provide a second chance to the neediest animals: those who would otherwise be turned away at so-called “no kill” agencies that accept only highly adoptable animals. We also serve as our County’s provider of animal rescue and control services and, as such, have no control over the number of incoming animals. Our record is outstanding. Since 2003, we have adopted 100% of healthy, adoptable dogs and cats. Our definition of “healthy” is based on the State’s definition: dogs and cats without medical or behavioral issues, those that are fully weaned and social. It excludes obviously unhealthy animals (those with injuries and illnesses or those behaviorally scarred from past treatment and mistreatment) as well as unweaned kittens and feral cats. Still, donations to our Hope Program allow us to make well, then place into new homes approx. 170 animals every month. In February 2008, the Society celebrated accreditation by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) following a comprehensive review of the shelter’s veterinary program. Community education and outreach, partnerships, and a dedicated volunteer group greatly extend our mission and work. Read more at www.PHS-SPCA.org.
