My story

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

FOSTER CARE!

Hey there, my name is Jan! I'm a spayed, 1 year old, Pit Bill/Husky mix that weighs about 41lbs. I'm a sweet and playful little lady! I can sometimes get overwhelmed in new situations, but my happy-go-lucky personality quickly takes over. My foster care family says I absolutely love swimming in the pool and playing in the backyard! I'm still getting comfortable going for adventures out in the world, but I'm making progress. I’m now a happy hiker! My foster family has been bringing me to the shelter for some playtime and my confidence has grown! I enjoy hangouts over rough or rowdy play. I'm just a chill vibes kind of girl! I don't mind hanging out with mellow dog friends if they're well-matched, but I'm also ok being an only child and getting all your love. If you're looking for a cuddly pup, a pool lounging buddy or a walking companion, I could be your girl! For more information about me, just ask Customer Service about Jan ID#A 958569

My foster family thinks I'm great! Here's what they said:

Jan is such a sweetie pie!! It has been a delight to watch her go from such a painfully scared and shy pup to the more confident fur face she is today. She was so scared of everything initially. She is still getting used to all the sights and sounds of city life, but she has come a long way. She just needs time and patience until she 'gets it'! She loves to play with squeaky toys, balls, and treat filled kongs. But she is also happy to sit near or on you to get bottomless belly rubs. And while she has you close, she loves to give and get kisses! Jan is pretty quiet. We've only heard her bark a couple of times and she once howled! She is also surprisingly vocal when tumbling around with her BFF Bubba! Jan is quite the gardener! She is especially skilled at digging holes!! She is getting much better at neighborhood walks. She occasionally still stops and tries to retreat but a gentle tug of the leash and some 'good girl' encouragement and she is back on track! On park trials she is a bit better. She now takes the time to sniff all the good smells. Jan will make a loyal and loving friend to some lucky person!

 



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.
