      <image:caption>PRECIOUS sadly lost her human a few months ago. Her fate was unknown at the Hesperia shelter but thankfully a Good Samaritan offered to transport her up to San Francisco so Give Me Shelter can find her a new home. It took her some time to come out of the shell, but she’s now getting more and more confident everyday in her foster home. She’s a sweet-n-shy chatty girl who would do best in a quiet home as your one and only kitty.

      <image:title>MEOW - MOJI</image:title>
      <image:caption>Moji is a 3yo FIV+ kitty that I adopted from @peninsulahumanesociety earlier this year. As a former stray, Moji is surprisingly trusting. He just loves people. A total love bug, he’s sweet, affectionate, funny and silly! Moji loves having his belly rubbed, sitting on your lap/chest while drooling and purring up a storm, and chasing felt balls around the house in high speed. He’s 100% all in no matter what he’s doing — He will nudge you until you pet him and won’t stop meowing until you feed him  (2022)</image:caption>

      <image:title>MEOW - CASPER / HARLEY</image:title>
      <image:caption>Ah, Casper. Formerly named Harley at the animal shelter. Every day I'm thankful he chose me to be his human. He is unbelievably sweet. He was brought into the shelter as a stray and had a deep gash on his face right next to his left eye. It took months for the wound to heal before he was putting up for adoption. I'm always amazed how trusting he is despite what he's been through. Casper is chillest and easiest cat ever. He's never fussy about anything and all he wants is to snuggle! He favorite activity is to purr his time away on my lap. (2014)</image:caption>

      <image:title>MEOW - MEOWMEOW</image:title>
      <image:caption>Meowmeow (that's how I call him/her) is the soul behind this My Dirty Paws projects. He is a stray in my apartment building. For 3+ years, I'd see him every single day. Initially he was just asking for food. Slowly after more interactions, he would come close to me giving me head butts. It was a highlight seeing him every day after work. If I had a hard day at work, I'd sit on the floor and talk to him. And he'd be sitting there listening for as long as I wanted to! Saturday afternoons are the best; I'd spend some time with him outside in the sun while he takes his cat naps. He's a special being in my life. (2014)</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Meet MANDY!  Despite her early beginnings, or maybe because of them, some say she's a Diva. Mandy was abandoned on the streets by a family but her foster family loves her and her quirky nature. She likes attention and also likes to call the shots. She's a confident and curious kitty, and loves to play! Looking for an experienced cat family who will pick up on her signals. As with most Divas, she needs to be the one and only kitty, and an adult-only home will be best. Are you ready for a kitty-cat challenge that offers a huge reward? If so, she's your girl!

He's 25 lbs of pure love but definitely would like to find a family who is committed to help him trim down a bit.

      <image:title>MEOW - KD</image:title>
      <image:caption>Update: Adopted! KD is a one-of-a-kind and unusual fella that had a long trip to get here. He is the remaining Hurricane Irma Evacuee that came from a Florida shelter to get a home. KD can often be shy with new people he meets and will hide “undercover” but has made lots of friends with the other kitties at the adoption center and it quite amusing if you spend time with him. He took a little time to adjust to all the changes but is now ready to meet his new family -- a cat experienced home that doesn't include young children would be best. KD can be a bit nervous on first meeting but quickly warms up to show his affectionate and friendly self. KD has a sweet melodic meow that he sings to the other kitties and folks who come to meet him. Be the recipient of his sweet blinky eyes and the one to give a KD a chance at a loving and secure forever home. Male / 1.5 yo (2017)</image:caption>

      <image:title>MEOW - ODY</image:title>
      <image:caption>ODY was rescued by Give Me Shelter Cat Rescue from Animal Care &amp; Control SF. He’s a big, sweet, and handsome kitty. He may initially come across as being a little shy but it doesn't take long to show you that he’s a super friendly and affectionate kitty. He’s so affectionate that he can come across as needy at times. He loves people and prefer them over other kitties so he would be happiest as your one and only kitty. He also feels more comfortable around adults than children so he prefers an adult only family because he can get a little overexcited and nibble a bit. He’s currently on a prescription diet because of urinary tract stones in the past. Are you looking for a big handsome orange Tabby who prefers the company of people over other kitties?

She's now stable on insulin. She's living in foster now with other cats, but would prefer to be your one and only. She loves to be around you, gentle pets, and to be brushed. She's looking for a family committed to her long term care. She takes 3 units of insulin twice daily and eats a canned food diet. Would you give this sweet lady a chance?

      <image:caption>Update: Adopted! Fiona is one of the most mellow and shy kitties I've met. It takes more time to warm up with her and get her out of the shell. But once she does, she'd sit on my lap and purr away. Reality is that most people still see black cats as less desirable... Sometimes I really wish at least they'd have the chance to show you their lovable personalities. (2014)</image:caption>

      <image:title>MEOW - SYDNEY</image:title>
      <image:caption>Update: Adopted! An absolutely gorgeous torbie. 7-year-old Sydney is the most gentle cat I've ever met. She loves giving head bumps, sandpaper kisses, playing with her catnip toys and simply sitting on my lap purring up a storm! I saw sadness in her eyes and whenever I took her out of her cage to play she'd become a very content kitty. It's a mystery to me why she still hasn't gotten adopted yet. This sweet girl has a lot of love to give and definitely deserves to be loved unconditionally by the right people. (2015)</image:caption>

She is quite the character and is curious of her surroundings. She has some handling sensitivity due to her weight (mainly being resistant to being picked up). She would do best in a home without children, preferably with an experienced adopter that can also work on her weight. We're feeding her a wet food only diet to get her beach-body ready for that window spot with the sun. Think you might have a comfy spot on your couch for Harley? Come visit her today! Harley's Adoption Fee is 50% Off to qualified adopter(s). 5 yo (2018)</image:caption>

      <image:title>MEOW - CHANEL</image:title>
      <image:caption>Update: Adopted! CHANEL was adopted from Give Me Shelter Cat Rescue over a year ago. Unfortunately, she was returned to them because she became diabetic and her family was unable to manage her care.  She’s in one of their catsavvy foster homes where they are managing her insulin. She is charming, chatty and very smart. She needs a family who will be the boss of her and not let her boss you around. We think she’s stable and can consider potential adopters. Are you up for the challenge? Female / Ragdoll / 9 yo / Indoor only (2018)</image:caption>

She’s confident, lovable and gets along with her kitty furiends. She even had an adorable chirp! Female / Gray Russian Blue Mix / 1 yo / Indoor only (2019)</image:caption>

These nice bonded cats were sadly surrendered to the shelter because of landlord issues. They are a bit shy here at the shelter but welcome a visit and some lovin'. Marshmellow is the more social of the 2 but they are both sweet (and oh-so-soft!) and are sure to blossom in a steady and loving home. Biscuit and Marshmellow are true treats, come adopt them from Animal Care &amp; Control San Francisco. Both Male / 1 yo (2017)</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Update: Adopted! I'm a rare orange female. Most orange tabbies are male, which means I’m basically a plush tangerine unicorn. I was abused and neglected, so I can be sensitive to loud noises and sudden movements. I'm looking for a quiet home and a long term relationship with a cat savvy adopter who will understand my cat body lingo and listen to me. That said, I adore attention and human companionship, and will open up if you have a little patience. Will you help me trust again? Female / 8 yo / Indoor Only (2018)</image:caption>

They came to San Francisco Animal Care &amp; Control because their person passed away. Bonded pair Bailey and Gucci may take a little extra time to adjust to a new home and may seem a bit shy when you first meet them. Adjusting to shelter life was not easy breezy for them - but they will be well worth any extra time and TLC. Bailey is a beautifully unique looking cat with her wild cat-like coloring and distinct face markings. Gucci is a classically handsome tuxedo fellow.

      <image:title>MEOW - MARTHA</image:title>
      <image:caption>Martha is a gorgeous calico cat. This almost senior gal needs a quiet home with preferably only 1 or 2 adult people. She should also be the only animal in her new home and be adopted by cat experienced folks only. Martha likes things on her own terms and can be a bit prickly or standoffish at times but when she is in the mood she is loving and lovely. Martha is friendly and alert and waiting to find her forever home. She is part of the Jackson Galaxy #CatPawsitive program at ACC SF. One of the trainers wrote, "Martha is beautiful and smart. She's trained to do high fives, 'sit pretty,' and even jump through a hoop!" Please be her special adopter. Female / 9 yo (2017)</image:caption>

Niko is the meeter and greeter of the pair but both are friendly, affectionate, playful and full of personality. Mika is more of a watcher and waiter before he joins in and may take extra time and TLC to help him adjust to a new home. Niko is quite a good-looking fellow with his Siamese markings, two-tone nose and slightly crossed eyes. Handsome Mika has a bit of grumpy cat look to him but is sweet, gentle and very fond of Niko.

Rudolph needs an adopter that can work with a vet to help him get to a healthier weight (luckily he is a playful guy which will help). He sometimes seems uncomfortable with his bulk and is sure to feel better as he sheds some of his extra weight and becomes more able to groom himself. Come meet Rudolph and see if you are the one to make a difference in this nice big boy's life. Neutered Male / 8 yo (2018)</image:caption>

      <image:caption>3-year-old Ella was brought to the Milo Foundation with her 2 kittens that got adopted but she stayed at the foundation ever since. In 2015, Ella found her forever home with Crystal, who originally wanted her dog Zoey to meet a different cat but they didn't hit if off. Zoey met around 4 other cats before Ella was introduced and they immediately loved each other! One of the most special things about Ella is that she seems to gravitate to anyone who is in distress. Crystal says, "Many many times that I have been dealing with issues in my life she seems to pick up on it and lays on my back or my chest to comfort me." (2016)</image:caption>

      <image:title>MEOW - LITTLE ONE</image:title>
      <image:caption>Update: Adopted! LITTLE ONE is alert and curious but also a seems a bit sad and lost at the adoption center of SFACC -- perhaps missing his former home. He is affectionate and friendly once he gets to know you. Little One has very distinct tabby markings -- he is one seriously handsome guy! He can be a bit of a talker and may need a good amount of attention and an adopter who has the time and desire to have an active companion and is cat experienced and will not mind when Little One is feeling independent. A home without children and possibly with Little One as the only pet would be best (he does OK with the other cats at PFE -- mostly ignores them). Male / 5 yo (2017)</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Update: Adopted! Beautiful Valerie is a big, independent gal from Marin Humane Society with some strong views of her own about relationships and playtime. She enjoys both: relationships and playtime. She will do best in a calm, adults-only household with guardians who have had some experience with cats and who understand feline body language. Valerie is not a lap snuggler, but likes to be near by, in proximity, as it were. She very much enjoys having company around her and has been known to wait at the front door for her people to come home. Her front paws are sadly declawed, but her body language will let you know when her tolerance for handling has exceeded its limit. Female / 4+ yo (2017)</image:caption>

She was surrendered to the shelter when her previous family moved and couldn't bring her along... An unfortunate scenario that happens too often. She's also being featured in this article published by the Marine Humane: "Things to consider before you surrender your pet" that talks about all the things we can do to make it work before giving up your animal companions.

      <image:title>MEOW - PETE</image:title>
      <image:caption>Update: Adopted! Every now and then, there'd be a cat I meet in the shelter that I feel a special connection with, tuck so close to heart that I want to take him/her home right away. They are often the quiet, frightened, shy, or emotionally withdrawn ones. The ones that always get overlooked by visitors because they fail to engage. Those who take much longer time to warm up. Pete is one of them. He always curls up in his bed inside the cage, looking up with eager eyes. When I pet him, he purrs so loudly that I feel like I'm the one receiving TLC. What a gentle sweet mellow guy. Just being with him is pure bliss. I believe his right person will show up one day and it must be someone very special who can see his soul behind that skittish facade. (2016)</image:caption>

      <image:title>MEOW - MOO MOO &amp; CUPID</image:title>
      <image:caption>Moo Moo (left) and Cupid (right), both 1 year old from the same litter, were adopted together from Nine Lives Foundation in July 2016.  Moo Moo is adventurous, curious, smart and playful, while Cupid is sweet, gentle and affectionate. Since they are a bonded pair, they pretty much do everything together, be it eating, grooming, exploring, watching birds or playing with toys. Moo Moo's favorite past time is to explore every nook and cranny of the house. Cupid just can't stay too far away from his feeder. If he's not playing with the slot machine (kibble dispenser), you can definitely find him watching birds or squirrels at play from the kitchen window. Both cats love to catch the feather wand toy after dinner. Both cats were initially adopted when they were kittens but were returned to the shelter because that family was moving. That was when Lisa &amp; Simon saw their photos on Nine Lives FB page. Cupid reminded them of their last 20 yr-old kitty Sneezy who had passed away a year and half ago. They weren't ready for another kitty but couldn't pass the opportunity of a glimpse of them. Their sweet nature showed through the cages at the shelter even though they were scared and confused. The rest was history once they meowed and were eager to get a little head and chin rub. "We are very lucky to find this loving pair," Lisa says. I believe Moo Moo &amp; Cupid would say the exact same thing, too!  (2016)</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Update: Adopted! Piper might seem a little aloof at first - she IS a cat, after all - but seduce her with a wand toy and settle in for some very amusing kitty play. And this girl has attitude! She doesn't just bat at her adversary, she positively glowers at it. Way more fun than most TV shows! Piper will take her time to get to know you, but as many of her Pet Pal friends will attest, when she feels like you're A-OK, she'll seek you out for petting and grooming - and of course PLAY! Nice, too, that she likes grooming because her gorgeous coat is going to need to some regular attention. She's been known to repay the favor with head bumps and even some biscuit-making. If you are drawn to spunky cats with soft fur and a great purr this torbie beauty would love to be your one-and-only. (2017)</image:caption>

He did great in his Tonis Kitty Rescue foster home. It would be ideal if he could be adopted with a confident kitten or go home to a cat-friendly confident adult cat and by someone who will help him build confidence and give him the extra TLC he needs to blossom into a wonderful cat. This gentle boy is curious and playful and that will help him interact and bring him close to you as he settles into his new home. Male / 5 Month Old (2017)</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Every year we have many unwanted and homeless kittens flooding animal shelters waiting for adoption and/or a loving foster home.  An overwhelming number of kittens are born because cats are not neutered or spayed. To help control the situation, we can start with neutering/spaying our own cats, encouraging others to do so and supporting the effective humane way of TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) for feral cats.

      <image:caption>Update: Adopted! Age is only a number! Lassen is a stunning 15-year-old tabby with flowing long fur. As always, it's hard to tell the animals' true character in a shelter environment because they are under a lot of stress. Lassen seemed to be very shy and fearful towards strangers. It took quite some time for her to warm up and trust. Once she came out of the cage, I finally got a glimpse of her curious nature. She also liked sitting on laps and purring away. As timid and older cats often get overlooked by adopters, I wish someone out there would see the beauty of Lassen and provide a home for her to shine. (2015)</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Update: Adopted! This large 8-year-old orange &amp; white tabby completely melted my heart when I TLC him at the animal shelter. Sweet, gentle, and super cuddly! When he purred, it was so loud that I could see the fur near his throat vibrate! At first I was a little sad to know that he got surrendered by the owner to the shelter because of "moving, new baby" after 8 years together. But a few days later when I returned to the shelter, he already got adopted! I literally jumped with joy! Missed this guy so much but feel so lucky I've had the chance to cross path with him.

      <image:title>MEOW - HUNTER</image:title>
      <image:caption>8-year-old Hunter is a loyal, emotional, and sweet kitty who is bonded with her brother, Lloyd. When they were less than a week old, they were found abandoned on the side of a road in Arizona. Most shelters do not accept kittens less than 5 weeks, so thankfully a non-profit that worked with spaying and neutering stray cats lovingly took in the neonatal kittens and planned to bottle feed them until they were old enough to go to a shelter or to be adopted. The nonprofit placed an ad on petfinder.com which was where Maria found them. When Maria had to move from Tempe to San Francisco a few years ago, she was determined to take them with her. Now, Hunter lives in a happy home with his brother Lloyd, Maria, and her cat-lover boyfriend. "Hunter has a special bond with my boyfriend Alex and waits next to his pillow for him to come to bed each night. He is a very sweet and talkative cat, but his loyalty and connection to us is what makes him such a special cat." (2015)</image:caption>

      <image:title>MEOW - BELLA</image:title>
      <image:caption>Bella is a 7 and a half years old kitty with a lady-like demeanor. She was adopted by Cindy and Eric back in 2012 from Oakland SPCA. Not long after the adoption, the couple had their first child. While most people advised them to get rid of Bella before their child was born, they never gave it a thought. They were committed to give Bella a permanent home no matter what. Turns out Bella is extremely patient with their active 2-year-old who sometimes plays pretty rough. She's gentle, quiet, and affectionate. Cindy and Eric both believe that their kid will develop more compassion growing up with an animal, which I can already see it in baby Nathan.  Ironically, Bella was actually surrendered to the shelter by her previous owner because of "new baby and moving". Having a pet is a life-time commitment. (2015)</image:caption>

I really hope more time and care will help him feel safe again. (2015)</image:caption>

She is the one who makes me realize there's a reason behind behaviors. She is in general pretty mellow but would nib when we pet her too much. Normally, she'd be labeled as "difficult" or "with an attitude" already. But after some time, we find out she actually has early-stage arthritis near her tail. That's why she's not very active. That's also the reason she'd nib when people touch or hold her in a way that cause her pain! She's not trying to be difficult. She's just trying to communicate. (2014)</image:caption>

Their deep bond touches me. Whenever I TLC them, Donny would be out playing and Marie would be hiding in the corner. But from time to time, Donny would go over to Marie to check on her and groom her.

      <image:title>POSTERS - OLDIES BUT GOODIES</image:title>
      <image:caption>"Oldies but Goodies" is created to celebrate adult and senior cats. All the cats featured in this poster are above 7 years old, including cats that I've met in real life, my friends' cats and my own kitty. It hurts to see that older cats have a much slimmer chance to be adopted due to their age and physical conditions. In fact, they are just as loving, goofy and cute! I hope more people can see them in a new perspective and motivate more adult/senior cat adoptions. (2015)</image:caption>

      <image:title>I AM - ASTRO</image:title>
      <image:caption>Hello! I am Astro! I'm a 3-year-old Pitsky (Husky mix Pit bull). My humans adopted me from Copper's Dream Rescue in June 2014. Before I was surrendered to Copper's Dream, my first family found me on Craigslist but soon abandoned me because they thought I was too mouthy (But this behavior was corrected later on after I got adopted!). When my human found me at the rescue place, she was only planning to foster me, but... foster fail! They gave me a forever home! :) Ever since then, I've grown into a big healthy boy at 81 lbs! I love running, grass rolling, car riding, belly rubbing and I can kiss and lick any creature until they have too much of my love!!   (2017)</image:caption>

The vets all love me and tells my dad how well I behaved. I was a street cat. I have a big scar on my left arm from my cage fight against a pitbull so my finders named me after the legendary boxer, Jack Dempsey. Dimshi is an Asian translation of "Dempsey."

My hobbies are belly rubs, digging holes, interrupting important work, and doing unsolicited tricks for attention. Most people call me Hen, because I am so unique that many think I was hatched from an egg! (2017)</image:caption>

      <image:title>I AM - PINKIE</image:title>
      <image:caption>Hello! I am Pinkie! I'm a 4-year-old Terrie mix (maybe a little Dobby the house elf). I was adopted from Dogs Without Borders Rescue in 2014.  Here's my little story: I was actually originally rescued from a hoarder, living with about 140 other dogs. When the people got caught they fled (still have not been caught) so all of us began eating rocks or whatever we could find. I'm missing a good bit of teeth because of it. Luckily, I got placed in a rescue. I was feral, and totally bald because of mange, and just a generally sick dog... My family basically took in a little pink feral mouse-dog and rehabilitated me into a loving cuddle monster! (2017) I LOVE my family, but mostly my "brother", the other dog in our house. And I love to hang out with our cats and chickens!</image:caption>

      <image:title>I AM - TOMO</image:title>
      <image:caption>Hello! I am Tomo! I am sad not to be here on earth but I still communicate with my mom. Back in 1998, my mom adopted me from the Marin Cat Connection. I was one of 5 black cats and when I saw my mom I climbed to the top of the cage so she would see me. I really didn't want to leave this earth but I had cancer and life was not so good. But I just communicated to my mom that I will be coming back to her as another kitten! (2017)</image:caption>

      <image:title>I AM - SWEET PEA</image:title>
      <image:caption>Hello! I am Sweet Pea! I'm a Chihuahua and Shitsu mix, weighing 9 lbs or so. Nobody really knows my age but they're guessing around 8-10 years old. I was dumped at the shelter to be euthanized. I had a huge hernia hanging from my belly and could barely walk. My hind legs were bull legged from having the hernia for so long. I was not spayed. They are fairly certain I was a puppy mill breeder from my condition and not being spayed. I was taken to a marvelous vet in Fremont. He removed my hernia, spayed me and cleaned me up. The kind folks at BrightHaven (www.brighthaven.org) were going to keep me there until I adjusted and then adopt me to a forever, loving home. BUT... they fell in love with me, and couldn’t bear to adopt me out! Now I'm living happily with a bunch of animals and human friends there. Everybody says I'm such a loving, fun and spirited soul that you’d never know I had been dumped at a shelter to be killed. (2017)</image:caption>

I am a docile furry beast that loves people and can't get enough attention and pets. I love bow ties and my favorite treat is cat broths. I'm very photogenic. I am always coming up with new places to relax and poses for the camera. People love me because I'm such an easy going cat and I have a big personality! (2017)</image:caption>

Mommy picked me up from the street in 2012 and took me home. I'm a happy boy. I like to smile, eat and play. I love kissing my parents and my sister Meimei. My favorite thing to do is walking with my family in the village we live, feeding other street dogs every day. Meimei here! I'm a 3 and a half year-old mutt rescued by mommy in 2013. I love sleeping and playing with my stuff toys, playing hide-and-seek with my brother Tantan. Oh, I love swimming, too! (2017)</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Hello! I am Pepper! I'm approximately 12 years old. I weigh about 10lbs now but I was only 4lbs when mommy found me on the street in 2016. She picked me up in the yard of an abandoned house in West Oakland when my previous human got evicted and ditched me there.  I love tuna fish and sleeping in my new soft feather bed. I'm an old lady, so I like to rest most of the time. But when I'm awake I spend my time riding on my mommy's shoulder while she putters around the house. My new pals recognize me by my 50/50 split coloration on my wittle face. Chocolate and vanilla, half and half.. right down the middle!!! (2017)</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Hello! I am Isis, also known as Bear! I'm a 16-year-old super mutt! My mom found me when visiting the shelter with a friend. When her friend became excited about a different dog, my mom wandered until she came to my cage. I loved her at first sight and licked her hands over and over. She asked the attendant about the red tag on my cage and found out it meant I had only 3 days left to be adopted or I would be put to eternal sleep. She didn't take me home that day but showed up on my last day and saved me! She said it was because I was too good a dog to move on so soon. We have spent 15+ years together, I get to go to work with her everyday to our clothing shop in San Francisco called Five and Diamond. I'm in good health and hope to live to be the oldest dog on Earth! (2017)</image:caption>

Only my father can beat me at my ground game. Bring me any 12lbs cat and I guarantee you I will twist him into a pretzel. I can jump 64" inches in the air like Tony Jaa. I want nothing more than to go outside and find a worthy opponent, like Ryu from street fighter. But my dad says there's opponents I am yet ready for. Someone by the name of Coyote. When I'm ready, I will find this coyote and beat him into submission. I swear it! (2017)</image:caption>

I live in sunny San Diego and I love going to the park and playing fetch with a ball or frisbee. I also love the beach, but I can't swim! I have a lot of friends that I like to go hiking with. My humans love exploring new places with me. I never bark unless the mailman comes to our door and I love snuggling with my human in the morning.

      <image:caption>Hello! I am Sachi! I was adopted from Taiwan. This organization called HARA (http://www.harasf.org/) posted an ad on craigslist, that's was where my mommy saw it. They rescue dogs from street and high kill shelters, treat us in animal hospital, foster us and fly us out all the way to San Francisco for adoption! I was put into a high kill shelter when my previous humans got a divorce. Luckily, someone rescued me from being close to getting put down. And now I get a second chance with my new family.  I'm told I'm a sweetheart. I listen to commands very well and love to run around the park. I love people and other dogs! My best friend is my adopted husky mix sister Yuki. We love chasing and playing with other. Life is good :) (2017)</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Hello! I am Angelo Piccolo! I'm about 6 years old and was adopted from the San Francisco SPCA in 2012. I'm more like a dog than a cat. I used to live on the mean streets. They captured me at least twice before I found my forever home. They even took a notch out of my ear so the humans would know I had been fixed. I went home on Valentine's weekend 4 years ago and never looked back! I actually can't because I'm blind ;) But that doesn't stop me from having all of the fun I can. I live in the country now and spend my days lounging in the sun and watching squirrels. (2017)</image:caption>

My biological mother was a feral cat. I am extremely smart and can let my owners know exactly what I want and need.

      <image:caption>Hello! I am Casper! I'm almost 9 years old and was adopted from the Peninsula Humane Society in 2014. My meowmy is the illustrator of My Dirty Paws and I'm proud to be her inspiration. Here's what she has to say: "He is my first cat ever and has shown me how wrong I was with all the bias I've had towards cats in the past. He is extremely affectionate, calm, sweet, and mellow. He came into my life when I was going through a difficult dark time and gave me strength. He inspires me in my art. He brings out the softest and protective side of myself. All by simply being himself. When people tell me, how lucky Casper is to have a loving home. I always instinctively say, I am the lucky one! I truly feel blessed he picked me to be his guardian."

      <image:caption>Update: Adopted! Francis came to Marin Humane Society from another shelter and we have found him to be sweet, mellow, easy to pick-up and a bunny that likes to be petted. He does not like to be held and can be quite squirmy during a nail trim. A calm family with older children that respects that he prefers "four on the floor" would be best for him. He enjoys wicker toys and shredding paper (like old phone books). He does like people attention so his new family should be ready to spend as much time with him as they can. He should eat unlimited amounts of Timothy, Oat Hay and/or Orchard Grass hay, 2-3 tablespoons of pellets (no dried fruit or nut mixes), a small handful of veggies and an occasional piece of fruit as a treat.

Despite all the crazy changes in his life recently (how would you like to suddenly find yourself moved out of your house without notice?!) he is coping with dignity and grace. His playful charm has endeared him to all who meet him. He likes to chase after balls and plush toys (the guy has taste and style)but something squeaky is his favorite cuz he's sort of a fun lovin' guy. AND he brings it all back - like retriever style. Awesome. This kind of daily fun will light up your world. And his too! In his previous home, Charles lived with other dogs and a toddler. He was a bit possessive about his food and toys. If he is going to live with another dog again he should be monitored at feeding and play time to ensure a peaceful co-existence. Also, we recommend that Charles live with older children (16+) who are respectful of him and don't grab him suddenly like a toddler might. Charles has a large and terrific personality in a nice little package of a dog. He's looking for you and hopes you find him soon.

      <image:caption>Update: Adopted! POPSICLE and KRISPIE are friendly, fun, and easy to handle bunnies. They will climb in your lap and hang out. They are cute, active and ready for forever homes. You may recall Animal Care &amp; Control San Francisco rescued 40+ rabbits from a home in San Francisco that was trying to sell them for meat or pets. See http://www.ktvu.com/news/ktvu-local-news/236576762-story for the story. Many of the underage bunnies – like Popsicle and Krispie – went to foster homes while getting socialized and old enough to be available for adoption. Females / 3 Months (2017)</image:caption>

      <image:title>WOOF - AKANE</image:title>
      <image:caption>Akane is a rescue Akita living in Japan with adoptive parents Julian and Rieko. She was adopted from a Saitama Rescue Group back in July 2011 when she was around 5 years old. Akane is loyal, loving and caring, protective, smart, willful, perceptive, and very selective on who she trusts. She loves to travel and go out.  Akane was found with a metal wire wrapped around her neck tying her to a fence near a playground. There was also a small pile of cheap dog food spread on the ground that by now was just bits and pieces. She was found by the local Japan animal control serviced and given the standard 14 days until she would be put to sleep. During the 14 day period no one claimed her but thankfully to a women in the local Dog Rescue Group of Saitama who loves Akita’s saw her and immediately rescued her.  At that point she went through Vet visit and was in poor health, starving and later found to have a tumor ( which was later removed ) as well as heart worms.  She was lucky though to find a wonderful foster woman who already had many dogs she was fostering and Akane went up on the website.   After Julian's brain surgery Rieko was worried about him being home alone and also wanted him to get some motivation to get out and have some daily activity. They came across Akane's story on the internet and made arrangements to meet her with her foster parents. The meeting went well and it only took a 1-week trial period for them to fall in love with her and Akane was officially adopted in July of 2011. Akane got Julian out of the house and meeting so many new people. There was also the bond that came along as he worked with her everyday helping her with her behavior issues and training just as she helped him. (2015)</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Astro is a 1+ years old Husky-Pit mix with a serious face and a goofy personality! He was fostered by Claudia in June 2014 when he was still a puppy, and she eventually gave him a permanent home by adopting him. During the first week of fostering Astro, Claudia learned that he was abandoned by a family, who found or bought him on Craig's List, because he was too mouthy. But that behavior was corrected in less than a week. Astro is playful, energetic, friendly, fearless, clumsy, and at times not too sharp with his senses. Favorite activities? Chewing branches, rolling on grass, car rides, and running to show off his speed! According to Claudia, she felt like she could see an universe through his eyes since the first day she met him. I know Claudia has always wanted to adopt more than one animal, ideally one dog and one cat. But since it can't become a reality yet, I put an imaginary miniature kitty in this drawing. Looking forward to the day when she has a bipetual family! (2015)</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"We got Mako from Rocket Dog Rescue in 2012. At that time, he was 8 months old (he is now a little over four). My sister and I drove out to a Rocket Dog Rescue adoption event in San Francisco, and we were looking for a largish dog. We didn't really see any that felt right, though we did pass by this very skinny, medium-sized, busy guy. We looked at him the first time, and kept walking. We came back to him - there was something about him, as distracted as he was. We walked him around a little and then I picked him up. As soon as I did, he relaxed into my arms, rested his head on my shoulder, and let out a big sigh. That was the end of our search. (2015)</image:caption>

      <image:title>WOOF - OLIVE</image:title>
      <image:caption>5-year-old Olive shows how perfect imperfection is. This little mutt (Jack Russell Terrier mix with some Chihuahua, beagle and possibly corgi) is smart, sentient, independent, and has survived an unfortunate beginning in life.  Back in the Spring of 2010, two newborn pups were found abandoned underneath a house in Oakland. Olive was one of the two that survived from the litter. These two survivors were found by a 4th grader. When the boy took the two pups to school with him, his teacher adopted Olive and took her home. She had to be fed by bottle and nobody knew if she was strong enough to make it. But with a lot of care, Olive has grown to be this healthy loving dog. I feel like her energy is contagious! You can't help but laugh when being around her. According to her guardian Susannah, "Smart little Olive somehow seems to understand the things we tell her (most of the time). She can be selective about who she trusts, but if you win her over, she will never forget you and will come welcome you with a wagging tail and happy little yips." Amazing how things can turn out when we give abandoned animals a second chance. (2015)</image:caption>

      <image:title>WOOF - In loving memory of KODI</image:title>
      <image:caption>"Kodi was adopted from a rescue home in Stanislaus National Forest early 2005.  It was a couple of months after Gregg’s dog Kiska, another Siberian Husky passed away.  Kodi was taken in by a family as a puppy and when he grew big, which huskies do, they left him in the backyard with no cover and no food.  The family’s next door neighbor couldn’t stand it anymore and knocked on the door one day and told the family that they could either give her the dog or she would report them on animal cruelty.  They handed her Kodi and the rest was history.  When we first saw Kodi, he was all skins and bones but he came up to us and gave us kisses and was happy to stay be our side.  We were both so touched, we knew he was the one for us. Although Kodi was not scared of human, he was extremely scared of dogs.  He would be so scared for his own safety, he would try to attack other dogs if they do not back off (which in some cases the other dogs are just being friendly).  We had Kodi trained by Uncle Matty who was known as the dog trainer before Caesar Millan came along as the Dog Whisperer.  By the end of 6 weeks, Kodi came home a more confident dog but still would not play with other dogs but he would ignore them when they walked past him which was probably the best he was ever going to get to. Kodi was playful and loving.  He loved the beach.  Life was good.  Then I got pregnant.  I was never sure if he knew what was happening to me but he knew I was not as well as I used to be, that he had to be by my side all the time.  He would literally slow down to adjust to my pace throughout my pregnancy.  Then Audrey came along.  For the first week, he didn’t know what to do with this “thing”.  But soon he was the first one to get to her room when she cried and he matured overnight.  He was less playful because he had to take care of the little one.  When we went walking, he would always place himself between a stranger walking past us and Audrey.  And one time, Audrey stuffed up tissues that she had rolled up into tiny balls up her nose.  Gregg didn’t know and she kept stuffing them up and Kodi pinned her to the wall and licked her non stop until she had to sneeze and out came all the tissue balls.  She could have been suffocated herself if not for Kodi. Kodi never went to sleep until everyone in the house was in bed, tucked in and asleep.  I was sure he viewed it was his responsibility to take care of us.  He was as close to a person as any pets we have ever had.  He understood everyone’s mood and was there to comfort and protect us. When I looked at Kodi, I saw a dog who was scarred who somehow knew he was safe with us and in return, he gave us everything he had.  Kodi was special to all of us because we truly felt his love.  It was not because we fed him or anything.  It was simply because we belonged to each other.  We were family.  Not a day since May 2013 that I do not miss him.  I love Bear and Nyac but it’s a hole they cannot fill." (Grace, 2016)</image:caption>

She came to the shelter with 3 other kitties that were already adopted. When the fires broke out in early October she was transferred to SFACC. As you can imagine all these changes were quite stressful for her. Luckily, Give Me Shelter was able to take her into their program and now she's decompressing in a foster home. She's looking for a family with patience to give her time to come out of my shell and blossom. Could that be you?
