From Pound Puppy to Dog Costume Celebrity

Kitai's career as a Halloween Costume Model has helped to show the world that there are amazing dogs available at local animal shelters. All deserve a home and a life filled with love! Many will be put to sleep unless someone, maybe you, comes to save them. Even though he passed away two years ago the smiles and laughter he continues to create are priceless. Thank you for visting his website!

RIP Kitai

From the blog post: A once in a lifetime dog. . . RIP Kitai
I sent you away on a Tuesday, Kitai. It was two days before spring, the sky was blue,
the breeze cool, and the sun shone brightly upon us as we spent our last day together.

Kitai was adopted from a open shelter
 
Northern California Pet Adoption Agencies

If you or someone you know is looking to adopt, please tell them to check out the facilities high-lighted in blue first as they are kill shelters where animals that don't find homes fast enough are euthanized. Kitai came from the Humane Society of Silicon Valley. His adoption fee included:

Spay/Neuter Surgery
Heath Exam (general health/behavior evaluation)
Microchip
Initial Vaccinations (DHLPP/Dogs)
Canine Bordetella Vaccine (For most Dogs)
Rabies Vaccination
De-worming (animals under 4 months)
Adoption Counseling
Educational Resources (and post-adoption counseling)
A complimentary physical examination and 14-day follow-up care by any VCA Animal Hospital in Santa Clara County
Open Shelters (formerly known as "kill" shelters) These are shelters that are forced to euthanize when they run out of space. Many first attempt to transfer animals to another shelter or rescue. Please Report Neglected and Abused animals to the proper agencies listed below. You can be their voice, please don't stand by silently and watch them suffer.
Please contact me to list your shelter if it's not on the list.

Northern California Rescue Groups

There are dogs similar to these waiting to be adopted from a rescue.
(Well they were when I posted them here. Some may have already found their new forever homes.)

Below are Northern California "Rescue" groups. Rescues are usually run by kind-hearted people who volunteer to take animals (often from the kill shelters) into their own homes until a permanent home can be found. Often their adoption requirements are more stringent then a shelters. Just keep in mind that they want to insure that each dog they've rescued will find a suitable forever home. Don't be put off by their questions about your lifestyle and how you intend to keep a dog if they approve you for adoption. Many require a fenced yard, that the dog must be an indoor dog and that their dogs receive regular vetting including flea control and heartworm prevention.

Rescue is the way to go when you want more history on the dog, such as are they good with kids, cats, other dogs, their level of training, house breaking and much more. Many of these points will be unknown if you adopt a shelter dog. The best part is each time a rescue dog is adopted it allows the rescue to take another dog from a shelter that might otherwise have been put down.

Please contact us if you know of a rescue not listed below so that we can add them to the list.
