My story

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

Hello! My name is Tammy and I'm a spayed, 1-year-old, pit bull that currently weighs about 47lbs. I'm a fun loving girl with a rambunctious playstyle that's ready to go, go, GO! I love to do zoomies around the yard when I'm not busy wrestling with my friends. I'm hoping for a family that has experience with bully breeds like me and has an active lifestyle. I would love to go running, hiking, and exploring with you! Since I'm such a feisty girl that's still working on impulse control and manners, I would like to be the only dog in the household so I can perfect my skills! I am also a total lovebug that's affectionate once I've had a chance to get my wiggles out. For more information about me, just ask Customer Service about Tammy! ID# A965273

I recently went to the PHS pop-up in the Hillsdale mall! Here's how I did:

I had a chance to take Miss Tammy Wigglebutt to the Hillsdale Holiday pup-up. She was incredibly patient, observant and just the best girl. She did well in the car, she now knows how to get in / off by herself. She needs a little boost to get onto the back seat. At the mall, honestly , I was nervous seeing how crowded and crazy it was. Tammy did great! She was observant of the overwhelming environment, and did not react to any loud noises/ music/ kids as we walked across the mall. She was next to me all the time. A lot of folks wanted to pet her even before I reached the venue. Tammy gently received all their pets in a sit position. At the venue, she sat on her blanket as she received overwhelming amount of attention from the folks who wanted to say hello. She did not jump and never showed got overwhelmed. She wagged her tail to everyone’s pets. She observed everyone pass by. She almost slept off in the last 20 mins. People were impressed by how calm she is in a crowded place like a holiday mall. Some asked about her info, and hopefully they visit her soon. We got back to Lantos, she was sleeping on her ride back. Tammy was happy at her dorm wiggling her butt as I said goodnight.



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.
