SAME DAY UPDATE: Due to his fabulous-ness, Scotty found a foster home in a matter of a few hours. He will soon be available to adopt through St. Francis APS.

Scotty is an adorable tri-colored Chihuahua and Jack Russell terrier mix who has found himself back at the shelter for no reason other than his people no longer wanted a dog.

He's got a pair of glitchy knees and therefore deemed unadoptable and now at risk.

This friendly, alert and young boy is eager to meet every person and other dog he sees. And, if he's sitting on your lap, watch out! He'll plant a few kisses on your face. Scotty has quickly won the heart of every shelter volunteer who has met him. 

Help us save this happy and playful pup by giving him a temp (or permanent) home! We think he would be fine with other dogs and children.

UPDATE: 4/18/14 - Happy happy news! Shadow is leaving the shelter behind this afternoon. Thanks to St. Francis APS, she has a foster home to relax and destress in!

Does this look like the face of a kitty too old to live? Shadow's prior owner thought so. We DON'T!

Shadow is a loving but shy girl of 10 years. The shelter environment doesn't agree with her and she is pretty darn scared.

This beautiful, plus sized lady is quickly running out of her nine lives and needs a permanent or a foster home immediately. 

A patient person and a quiet place to unstress would be ideal for Shadow. She will also need a weight loss program to help her shed some pounds. 

Shadow's gotta whole lot of life left to live!

UPDATE: 4/8/14 - We have heavy hearts tonight.

Victor was unable to overcome his medical issues and he has passed. We are comforted that an angel named Melissa sat by his side to let him know he was loved as he was let go. 

Rest in peace sweet boy.

This sweetheart needs to get out of the San Jose shelter urgently to save his life. 

His time is almost up.

Victor is a loving poodle mix who is not even 2 years old. 

He will try to give you kisses if you sit next to him.

Victor has an undetermined hind leg paralysis condition and needs a special foster home to care for him.

He will require a home where someone is available to monitor him most of the day, he will need assistance to go potty and he will need daily medications.

A rescue organization will pay for medical care and diagnostic testing. Can you help us save this darling boy? Fill out our application here.
