You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Nillabean the Wiggle Machine!Meet Nilla – Your Future Adventure Buddy with the Best Smile in Town! The first thing everyone notices about Nilla is her radiant pittie smile — it truly lights up the room! &#226&#156&#168 This sweet girl has already faced more than her fair share of challenges, but she’s showing her strength and resilience every day as she decompresses and blossoms into a beloved companion. All About Nilla: Velcro pup energy: Nilla is happiest when she’s near her people. She’ll loyally follow you from room to room or chill contentedly while you’re out. Adventure-ready: Whether it’s a beach day or a neighborhood stroll, Nilla’s ready to tag along! The beach has quickly become one of her favorite happy places. Loyal heart, slow introductions: Due to her time in the shelter, Nilla prefers slow, gentle intros to new people and pups. But once you're in her circle, expect endless kisses and sweet loyalty. Smart & eager to please: Nilla is a quick learner and loves to show off her growing list of training tricks — especially for beefy treats! Daily walks = pure joy: She adores her sniffy strolls, even if she occasionally thinks she can catch a bird or squirrel. (She’s easily redirected!) Sensitive soul: Like many pitties, Nilla has a few food sensitivities. She thrives on a high-quality lamb and rice diet (no chicken, please!). She also enjoys her daily “spa time” — gentle paw wipes and skincare help her feel comfy and cared for. Nilla’s Dream Home: Nilla is searching for a loving, patient family that will continue to help her grow in confidence. She thrives on affection, consistency, and being part of the action. If you're looking for a loyal, snuggly, beach-loving bestie — Nilla might be your perfect match!

Hello my name is yoda, I came to the SPCA because my owner could no longer care for me. I know I look really active right now but that's just because I'm trying to get your attention. Take me out on a leash and let me show you how gentle I am. Maybe we can go on long walks on the beach together? Good news, I qualify for our Foster to Adopt program! Call 831-373-2631 to learn more.

Story
🌟 Meet Penny: The Mini Rottie aka Big Puppy with a Bigger Heart! 🐾 If sunshine could wag its tail, it would look a lot like Penny. She’s the ultimate big puppy — all sweetness, wiggles, and wide-eyed wonder. Penny’s hobbies include: being your shadow, turning every couch cuddle into a full-contact sport, and trying to figure out how her very large body fits in small, cozy spaces (spoiler: it doesn’t, but she tries anyway). Penny is still learning the ropes of the big, exciting world — things like “don’t jump up when excited” and “food doesn’t magically appear faster if you spin in circles.” She’s making amazing progress, though, and her eagerness to please makes her a total training rockstar. She’s doing great with crate time and potty training, and she’s quickly learning that good girls go outside (and get treats for it!). 💤 Sleeping arrangements: She’ll happily snooze in her crate overnight and chill there for a few hours if you’re nearby. Being left alone still makes her nervous, but she’s working on that — she just loves her people that much. 🐶 Dog friends: Penny adores other pups — big, small, scruffy, fancy — you name it. Her play style is “gentle chaos,” meaning she might bump into things (and friends) but it’s all love and no malice. She’s respectful of corrections and would do great with another confident dog buddy who doesn’t mind a little puppy enthusiasm. 🍗 Food: Penny LOOOOOVES food (all caps necessary). She’s polite about it, though — no food aggression here, just lots of joyful tail wags and hopeful eyes. 🚶‍♀️ Walkies: She’s learning the art of the leash. Big trucks and loud noises are a bit spooky, but with patience and snacks, she’s gaining confidence every day. 💖 Personality snapshot: Expert cuddler and professional shadow 🩷 Silly “splooter” with world-class head tilts Part-time gymnast (you should see her jumps!) Full-time love bug who just wants to be close Penny’s the kind of dog who will make you laugh every day and melt your heart every night. She’s got the sweetness of a teddy bear, the enthusiasm of a toddler on a sugar rush, and the soul of an old friend. If you’re looking for a goofy, snuggly, endlessly loving companion — Penny’s your girl. 🌈🐾
