Pet Pro Life Adoption & Placement, Inc.
P. O. Box 3653, Huntington Beach, CA 92605
(714) 964-3593
Pet Pro Life Adoption & Placement, Inc. is a non-profit volunteer group, established in 1994. Our goal is to decrease the total number of animals being euthanized in animal shelters each year by finding new, permanent homes for them. Our animals come from a variety of circumstances. Some of them are rescued from "Death Row" at local shelters, while others are brought to us by their owners as an alternative to the shelter. We do not yet have our own kennel facility, so all of the animals we take in live in "foster homes" or with their owners until they are adopted. Pet Pro Life has no paid employees and does not receive funding from any government agency. We are staffed entirely by volunteers and obtain funds solely from adoption fees, fund-raisers, and donations. In order to ultimately reduce the number of unwanted animals killed each year, we feel it is important to educate prospective owners and the general public about pet overpopulation and enforce a very strict spay/neuter policy for all our adopted pets. We spay or neuter all animals before placement regardless of breed.

Shelters & Pet Adoption Facilities

San Francisco Animal Care and Control (ACC)
Located at 1200 15th Street (at Harrison, across the street from The SF/SPCA), ACC is the city's municipal animal shelter. Created in 1989, when the City took over certain duties it had previously contracted out to The SF/SPCA, ACC is responsible for San Francisco's stray, injured, abandoned, neglected, and mistreated animals, wild and domestic, as well as for the enforcement of all state and local animal control and welfare laws. The shelter is in operation 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Kennels are open to search for or adopt an animal from noon to 6 p.m. daily and until 7 p.m. Wednesdays, except legal holidays and quarterly staff development days. The doors open for access to the lobby, front counter and the PetHarbor lost pet kiosk at 11 a.m. daily, except legal holidays and quarterly staff development days. Call (415) 554-6364 for all services and volunteer opportunities during business hours or to leave a message, but for animal-related emergencies call (415) 554-9400 24 hours.

The San Francisco Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (The SF/SPCA)
Founded in 1868, The SF/SPCA is at 2500 16th Street (at Florida Street, between Harrison and Bryant). It is a private, nonprofit animal welfare organization dedicated to saving homeless cats and dogs; to providing lifesaving care and treatment to dogs and cats in need; to helping pets stay in loving homes; and to cultivating respect and awareness for the rights and needs of companion animals. Its innovative programs and services include adoption, community veterinary services, the hearing dog program, the feral cat assistance program, humane education, animal-assisted therapy, and dog training classes. Call (415) 554-3000. The SF/SPCA's state-of-the-art Maddie's Pet Adoption Center at 250 Florida Street is open daily (except legal holidays) 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. The adoption center's number is (415) 522-3500.

Pets Unlimited
Pets Unlimited, at 2343 Fillmore (at Washington) in San Francisco's trendy upper Fillmore district, has a 24-hour emergency veterinary hospital, shelter services, a foster family program, volunteer opportunities and community educational services, both on- and off-site. In 2004, the Adoption Center placed 328 cats and 59 dogs into new homes. Since its founding in 1947 the organization has saved the lives of more than 250,000 animals. It has 11 vets, 2 vet specialists, 65+ vet support staff and over 200 volunteers.

 

Local Nonprofit Rescue Groups

Give a Dog a Bone (GADAB)
This nonprofit, headquartered at ACC, serves the special needs of animals who are the subject of ongoing investigations (abuse, neglect, bites, dogfighting, divorce or estate settlements, probate, etc.) and consequently must be housed at ACC, often for extended periods of time. GADAB's director and volunteers are specially trained to socialize these often traumatized and isolated dogs. Call (415) 934-4820.

Give Me Shelter Cat Rescue
This nonprofit, founded in June of 2003, helps stem the overpopulation of abandoned and unwanted cats, saves cats deemed unadoptable and rehabilitates them medically and/or behaviorally in order to place them in loving homes. They are committed to rescuing as many cats who are slated for euthanasia as they can. They also work very closely with many shelters in the Bay Area as well as working to help stop the overpopulation of feral cats. Call (415) 810-7284 or (415) 297-9301. E-mail:  info@givemesheltersf.org.

Grateful Dogs Rescue
This nonprofit rescues dogs at ACC who are not made available for adoption because they need some medical help or some behavioral training. Rather than letting these dogs be euthanized, Grateful Dogs places as many as possible in foster homes until they can find a loving "forever" home in the Bay Area. Finding a good match between the dog and the adopter involves an application, interview, home inspection and adoption fee. Call (415) 587-1121. P.O. Box 411013, San Francisco, CA 94141, e-mail:  info@gratefuldogsrescue.org.

Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue
Mickaboo rescues companion birds who have been neglected or abused or are sick or injured. They rehabilitate them when necessary and place them in safe, caring foster homes until a permanent home can be found. Mickaboo ensures that birds in their care will have a safe, loving environment for life. They also educate bird owners on the most current care information to meet their birds' medical, emotional, and dietary needs. Call (650) 301-6521. P.O. Box 697, San Jose, CA 95106-0697, e-mail:  mail@mickaboo.org.

One at a Time Animal Rescue
Founded in 2001 by a former animal control officer at ACC, One at a Time currently specializes in rescuing dogs and pet rats at risk for euthanasia at ACC and other local shelters. All animals, including those rescued from horrific abuse and neglect situations, must pass a behavior test and a medical exam. The nonprofit places them in foster homes and finds loving permanent adopters for them after getting the animals neutered or spayed, having microchips implanted, vaccinating them, attending to any medical needs, boarding them and socializing them. Call (415) 519-3250 for dogs and (415) 317-1038 for rats. 1388 10th Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94122, e-mail: oneatatime@oneatatimerescue.org.

Persian and Himalayan Cat Rescue
Most of this nonprofit's Persian and Himalayan cats come from Northern California animal shelters and some from vets. Like most other nonprofit rescue organizations, they do not take cats from individuals, but they do place the cats in foster care homes or the homes of screened adopters. Before any cat leaves their care, they are spayed or neutered, vaccinated for FVRCP, tested for leukemia, bathed and groomed, and evaluated for personality to assure a good match with their new families. This organization places more than 250 cats each year. Call (415) 388-7925. 305 Ross Dr., Mill Valley, CA 94941, e-mail: info@persiancats.org.

Rattie Ratz Rescue
This nonprofit was founded in 1998 and is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and adoption of often misunderstood and unfairly maligned pet rats and other small animals. (Contrary to popular belief, rats are surprisingly intelligent, have individual personalities and make fun and loving pets.) The nonprofit's volunteers are dedicated to placing rescued rats into loving, permanent homes. They operate an equipment lending library, cage upgrades, do-it-yourself workshops, and referrals to pet-sitters, vets, other rescue organizations, humane societies, supply stores and rodent clubs. They also offer class presentations and other outreach efforts. E-mail: info@rattieratz.com. 2995 Woodside Road, Ste. 400, PMB 325, Woodside, CA 94062.

Rocket Dog Rescue
Founded in 2001 by Bay Area animal activist Pali Boucher, this is an all-volunteer nonprofit group dedicated to saving homeless and abandoned animals from euthanasia in overcrowded Bay Area shelters. Rocket Dog places non-aggressive dogs into temporary foster homes, where they are socialized, taken to a vet to be spayed or neutered, vaccinated and treated for any medical condition, and evaluated and retrained for any behavioral conditions which would otherwise limit their adoptability. The group then actively searches out permanent quality homes for these deserving animals through their volunteer network, online adoption page, weekend adoption fairs and neighborhood poster campaigns. Rocket Dog Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation supported completely by donations. Their ultimate goal is to help create a world where all companion animals have loving and permanent homes, where no good-natured companion animals, no matter what their age, are killed in shelters because they are considered surplus or "unadoptable." Call (415) 642-4786. P.O. Box 460826, San Francisco, CA 94146, e-mail: info@rocketdogrescue.org.

The San Francisco Rescued Orphan Mammal Program (SF ROMP)
SF ROMP rehabilitates injured or orphaned mammals for release back into the wild, giving them a second chance at a natural life. It is a community-supported, volunteer-run organization, licensed by the California Department of Fish and Game. Each year SF ROMP receives over 80 animals in need of help. Its volunteers work hard to assure that the orphaned mammals develop the skills they need to survive in the wild. Its dedicated volunteers also rehabilitate injured animals with the generous support of caring veterinarians. San Francisco is blessed with abundant wildlife, including beneficial animals who are a natural part of the ecosystem. Occasionally, they will do things that irritate us. Finding long-term humane solutions to these problems is not difficult. Trapping animals is not the answer. Addressing the specific problem is the only way to find a long-term effective solution. This organization is dedicated to preserving and enhancing San Francisco's rich biodiversity and increasing public appreciation of the city's native wildlife. They also perform habitat planting to help preserve San Francisco?0â8s park and wilderness areas. Members of the public can schedule a site visit by a humane wildlife problem specialist. She will look at the problem area and find a humane solution to the problem as well as provide advice on how to avoid future conflicts. Contact the Wildlife Hotline at (415) 350-WILD [-9453].

Save a Bunny
This organization is a chapter of an international nonprofit organization dedicated to rescuing house rabbits who are about to be euthanized. They find permanent, loving new homes for rescued rabbits and educate people about the joys of living with rabbits as indoor companions. In fact, ACC could not save nearly the number of rabbits it does without the help of this active and effective organization. They also do "matchmaking" and help with "bunny bonding" for those who want to find a friend for their spayed or neutered rabbit. They also offer rabbit nail trimming, luxury bunny boarding and alternative healing and energy work. Their priority is to rescue and assist rabbits from animal shelters, because these rabbits have run out of time and options. Sadly, most of these rabbits were companions who were bought at pet stores or from breeders and surrendered to shelters when the novelty wore off. If anyone has a rabbit they do not want, they should have it spayed or neutered and then contact their local humane society or go to www.rabbit.org for suggestions on placing their rabbit. Call (415) 388-2790. P.O. Box 2143, Mill Valley, CA 94941, e-mail: SaveABunny@aol.com.

Toni's Kitty Rescue
Founded by ACC volunteer Toni Sestak, this nonprofit has cultivated a large network of foster parents for kittens, a crucial need during the spring and summer months of "kitten season." She bottle-feeds many of the neonatal kittens herself, using kitten formula. Toni and her fellow volunteers saved an amazing 550 kittens at ACC in one season, 2003-2004! Call (415) 554-6364. 415 Buena Vista Ave. E., San Francisco, CA 94117-4164, e-mail: tmsestak@webtv.net.

The Urban Cat Project
This nonprofit rescue group is a nonprofit, all-volunteer effort based in San Francisco. They recognize the long history humans have had with the domestic cat and work to improve that relationship. They focus on rescuing cats from shelters and placing them in loving homes. They do not take cats surrendered by the public. The Urban Cat Project advocates ending the use of cats in medical experimentation, classroom dissection, the fur trade, or wherever cats are tortured or killed for profit. The Urban Cat Project also educates the public about the need for responsible cat guardianship, spaying/neutering, the perils of declawing and the need for a lifelong commitment to animals. They house rescued cats in foster homes and pay personal attention to each cat until he/she is adopted. They look forward to an end of the suffering and abandonment of cats through rescue, adoption, education and advocacy. Call 415-334-1003 or e-mail info@theurbancatproject.org.
