Happy Tails

After wanting a cat for most her life, Sunny brightened up her family! As first-time pet-owners, East Bay SPCA helped set them up for success.

"I've always known that shelter dogs are amazing, but Rocky has been such a reminder of this. I've been telling everyone who will listen to please consider adopting from a shelter when you're considering a new furry family member."

Pepper (formerly Kipper) was the perfect match for my then-resident cat Bean Sprout. The staff at East Bay SPCA helped me to find a kitty who was the perfect match – confident, savvy, curious, and eager to get to know his brother! After a long introduction process, they are both getting along great! Playing, cuddling, grooming, and loving each other's company! 

When I started volunteering at the EBSPCA, I had a long talk with myself. I knew I'd want to adopt all of the dogs. I convinced myself I had the will power to only volunteer. Epic fail!!! I saw Apollo on the website and he stole my heart. When I peeked in the kennels before my shift and he whined at me, it was a done deal! –Jackie Thomason

"We recently adopted a beloved German Shepherd puppy named Grizzly. We renamed him Dimond, after the park we live near. After fostering him for only three days, we realized we couldn’t give back the late night snuggles and exciting adventures that come with his adorable little face. We were not planning on getting a dog any time soon, but his puppy love won us over." –Liora

"We lost our dog in October and were looking for another dog to bring that canine energy back into our lives. After interviewing many dogs we met Olive and we knew she was the one. We can never replace our boy whom we lost, but our lives have completely changed for the better now that we can share our home with Olive." –Matt, Adopter

"After the loss of my dog, I was looking for a loving emotional support animal to help me through it. Despite meeting several cats, I didn't feel a strong connection until I encountered Mabel." -Ani, Adopter

"We formed an instant bond. She loves being petted and scratched, and has the most adorable meow. Beyond that, she's incredibly playful—a fun-loving goofball that brings so much joy and laughter into my life. I'm truly grateful she's now a part of my household, and I wouldn't hesitate to adopt from East Bay SPCA again." - Katarina, Adopter

"From the moment I wake up to my return home, Goatee (formerly Lance) consistently shares his thoughts with adorable meows, whether in my arms or anticipating a belly rub. His charming white puff under his chin led to the affectionate name Goatee. Demonstrating remarkable intelligence, he's currently mastering the art of fetching with a bouncy ball. And speaking of excellence, the compassionate staff at the shelter truly stand out, pouring their love and care into matching animals like Goatee with wonderful forever homes." - Gabriella, Adopter

"Our new pet has already brought so much joy, especially during Halloween when we dressed them up in adorable costumes—a delightful experience. The staff at East Bay SPCA, particularly in Dublin, played a crucial role in making this match possible. Their assistance was not only helpful but also marked by kindness, making the entire process a positive and memorable experience." - Mike, Adopter
