    I had been looking online for different animal rescue shelters to adopt a puppy. I tried emailing…read moreand calling a bunch of different places around the bay area, and they either took took weeks to respond, or didn't respond at all. A lot of times, the staff who I did get ahold of was really unhelpful. Enter, CARE Pets. They responded quickly and answered all my questions and I was able to see my puppy within a week. I was glad to hear that CARE pets fosters all their pets and then brings them to the adoption events on the weekends. JoAnn, who fostered my new puppy, was extremely helpful and walked me through the whole adoption process via email, then in person. All the staff and volunteers there are really friendly and they have a lot of cute dogs to adopt! And I love how if an owner is unable to take care of their pet anymore, CARE pets asks the owners to bring the pets back and not to give the dog away or give it to the pound. That makes me feel great about all the dogs that they manage and look after. If you're looking to adopt a puppy in the South Bay area, I highly recommend CARE pets!

    I cannot say enough nice things about the people involved in this organization…read more We adopted our dog from here 5 years ago. We try to bring him in to visit his former foster mom every year or two. The people who foster these dogs are truly special, they save so many lives and make sure that the animals go to the right home. Cat Glass and her mother are heroes for broken dogs. They nurse them back to health, and give them all the love and affection you could possibly give a pet. They saved our pooch's life, and I will be eternally grateful. If you want to rescue a pup, this is a great place to do it.

    I am writing this on my dog's 17th birthday. We got her 12 years ago from SBPR…read more In that time, my mother also adopted a dog from this organization, and my husband and I adopted a second dog from them last year. To say the least, we love and fully support this organization as it has brought THREE wonderful dogs into our lives. Every person we have talked to at SBPR is friendly, knowledgeable, and has the best interest of the animals at heart. Our first dog was our very first, but we put in the time and research to demonstrate that we were ready for a pet. Though we were newbies and fully disclosed this, SBPR saw that she was a good fit for us as a "first dog," and we have been smitten with her ever since. She is even "bosom buddies" with my mom's dog from SBPR (who is 14 going on 15). With our recent second dog, also from SBPR, we were unsure how our current dog and new dog would get along, both being older and set in their ways. The foster mom allowed us to have a meet-and-greet, and even a trial weekend to see how they would live together. She saw that we were committed to what was best for both dogs, and the potential for a loving home with another SBPR "alum". We are so happy it was a successful transition. These dogs have brought so much love and light into our lives. SBPR cares about dogs and finding loving forever homes, and we are so lucky no-kill orgs like this one exist in our area. We treat our dogs like family, and this organization is to credit for these 3 little beings in our life. Eternally grateful to them for the great work that they do!

Excellent folks with good hearts doing their best with next to zero resources. Adopting a dog can be problematic. Especially if you have zero pet experience. It is a commitment. It is worth it. So embrace the dog and show compassion for all involved. Adopting doesn't mean free dog for your pleasure. It's welcoming a living creature into your life. Like SBPR, DO YOUR BEST WITH WHAT YOU HAVE. MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD.

There were only 12 seats available to be reserved/paid for in advance on their site. The space is beautiful and cozy for the cats around. Mary, the director, briefly introduced us to the organization, the mission, and explained their careful interview process for matching cats with interested adopters, which they call "Tinder for cats" haha. The event lasted 2 hours and 45 minutes but it felt much shorter! The whole time, different cats (all available for adoption) would flop down on the long table all of us sat at and let us pet them. We had a wonderful experience socializing with the cats and the people around us and learning how to cross-stitch too! All materials were provided and we got to bring all supplies home to finish the piece.

The Dancing Cat is a peaceful place where they have approx 6-12 cats that live in the space, just depends on how many get adopted and other factors. I came by during my birthday because I love cats and it was so nice seeing them so at peace and comfortable. Some cats prefer peace and quiet while others are actively seeking out play and treats! Would recommend people to check this place out. Love their mission and what they aim to do.

She was dismissive from the moment we arrived and was quick to shut the door in our faces. I can't say for certain whether race played a role in how we were treated, but the interaction left me with the strong impression that we were not welcome, and I felt that there may have been discriminatory behavior involved. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this place. There are plenty of businesses that understand the importance of treating customers--and especially children and families--with basic courtesy and respect.

I lowered my rating for two reasons. I am disabled and it is difficult to sit on low seating. There was no accessible seating in the entry or play area. I went outside to sit on a bench and a woman lit up a cigarette. A steady stream of smoke was blowing in my direction. I finally told her that I am allergic. She did not care. It was her smoking break (right outside the entrance) and that she was having a bad day. She continued to smoke. She told me that I should be inside with the kittens. I got up to go to my car determined to write this review and told her that she should consider accessible seating. The kittens were admirable though!
