Pawfurred Pricing ENDS THIS WEEKEND!

Thinking about adding a furry kid to your family?

Boo Boo Kitty wants to remind you that our July specials are ending this weekend!  She prefers (shall we say... purfurrs) that you adopt her, especially since she is Pet of the Week, but says there are specials for cats, dogs, and bunnies older than 6 months.

Ask about Pawfurred Pricing at any location - our Animal Community Center in Milpitas or our Satellite Centers in Petco Sunnyvale and Petco Saratoga.  Your Adoption Counselor can help you make the purrrfect match and create an adoption fee that works best for your new friend and of course, well... you.




For kittens under 6 months, Boo Boo Kitty says take two...  My Buddy and Me means you can adopt two kittens for one adoption fee!  She wants things to quiet down in the kitten space.

Maya - ID#79972

Maya - this beautiful cat - shares one of our administrative offices.  Actually - she has it to herself at the moment, enjoying (like Boo Boo Kitty in the next office) a nice quiet space away from the kittens.  She is super friendly and "squawks" from her office door to let us know when she wants company.  If she really likes the company, she occasionally drops a drop of drool just to let you know... yes, that is the right touch, thank you.

Her office has a view of the back parking lot.  One night, as the sun was setting, the office window framed her perfectly as well as showed off those beautiful, model-like cheekbones.




She is available for adoption and is asking for someone who likes office work (a nice quiet routine with plenty of breaks for noodling and chatting).

Happy Tails: Wickett


By Jamie Morgan, Satellite Adoption Manager

When I first saw Wickett, he was surrounded by a group of children on a school trip. The three-year-old brindle Shih Tzu/Pekingese mix was soaking up the attention from all the little hands on him, wagging his tail in delight.

After his cuddle session with the children, Wickett soon became the dog to see in Adoptions. He had several adopters all lined up to see him and find out how he would do with their current dogs. We soon realized Wickett was more interested in the people in the room than other dogs we introduced him too. Wickett needed someone who wanted a fuzzy shadow by their side, which is just what Nicole was looking for.

Since 1997 Nicole hadn’t been without a Shih Tzu. She had fallen in love with the breed, even finding it cute that her current dog Sprout snores like a chainsaw. With Wickett, Nicole found her lap dog and Wickett got his constant companion. There was no more waiting for Wickett, he was on his way home with Nicole after a successful meet and greet with Sprout.

Nicole wrote us a few weeks later to say Wickett "is very playful without being overwhelming, loves to be right by my side, and we only had one accident on the first day. All of these are a testament to getting an older dog –especially the bladder control part!”

We agree that older dogs make a great addition! Wickett was a prefect gentledog while at HSSV and continues to shine in Nicole’s care. She tells us she now goes to sleep with two little chainsaw snorers by her side.

Are
looking for a mature relationship? Now is the time with PawFurred pricing for cats, rabbits and dogs over 6 months old for all of July.

Kittens Crazy for Pawfurred Pricing

This is why we love working here!  Because it's fun!  One of our foster parents dropped off some boxes of packing paper and here's what happened in the Sunshine Community Cat Room.


Now you can understand why Boo Boo Kitty moved into one of our offices.  She needed a quiet space away from all the kittens.


Boo Boo Kitty wants you to either adopt her (preferably her) or adopt one of the kittens so ask about Pawfurred Pricing.  Your Adoption Counselor can help you find the purrrfect cat (older than 6 months) and create an adoption fee that works best for your new feline* friend and of course, well... you. 

For kittens under 6 months, Boo Boo Kitty says take two...  My Buddy and Me means you can adopt two kittens for one adoption fee!  She wants things to quiet down in the kitten space.


* Also, dogs and bunnies over 6 months!
