Friends of mine tried to adopt. Fiona played games with them and wouldn't return calls and lied. The volunteers are amazing but Fiona is controlling and in some sort of power struggle. BEWARE. The entire experience was painful. read more

As I mention my dog, My Heart Rambo is a very high, spirited and energetic dog. When adopting him the owner Julie was very kind to me and my partner, unlike other staff. The reason I rated how I did, is because if anyone is to adopt anywhere please don't be afraid to ask questions about the animal you're adopting so you do not end up, causing them to stress and also so your not bringing home chaos Luckily, Rambo adjusted to us very nicely, and we never had to worry about anything other then his surroundings still being considered a puppy learning to stay calm with children and birds as well, he still of-course has a lot to learn. Again, PLEASE don't be afraid to ask questions about the animal you're adopting. read more

Jelly's Place - 8months ago I adopted Rambo (Jayco). He's an amazing dog with a strong personality. - Pet Adoption Near Me - San Pablo, California

Our family has been looking for a chihuahua to adopt. The staff here was great and wonderful. We fell in love with a puppy that was already going home with a couple, but they had backed out out the adoption. Jelly's Place gave us a call, and we were over the moon to get her. They worked with us beautifully. I highly recommend them. read more

Caring staff that goes above and beyond to take in as many animals as possible. I will support them whenever I can.

I'm not sure what's up with this place but they have zero customer service skills. Just rude. I inquired about a few dogs and I would get one word answers. For instance, I asked if a dog was male or female and if we would be able to visit. Response was...male. That was the only response. I had even emailed to follow up about a dog I had initially inquired about and it was like pulling teeth to get more info. I also inquired about a dog they told me about that was coming in. Response was...doesn't get along with kids. THAT WAS IT. Do they not want any of the dogs to be adopted? Maybe all of the 5 star reviews are friends? Because they were not helpful at all. read more

I looked everywhere in the US and Canada for a Burmese cat to purchase from a reputable breeder to no avail. I gave up. I decided to see what kitties were available for rescue. My challenge was that I couldn't adopt a kitty with cat dander due to allergies, which I expected to make my search continue to be difficult. It wasn't. I logged onto Petfinder which took me IMMEDIATELY to Jelly's Place in San Pablo, California. Imagine my shock when the first kitty I saw was a gorgeous Burmese female named Chocolate!!! I emailed and called the shelter. Julie, who is absolutely fabulous, called me back first thing. My husband and I adopted Chocolate based on one photograph and what Julie told us about her. The following Friday we drove from Medford, Oregon to San Pablo, California to pick her up, turned right around, and drove back home: 12.5 hours. So worth it!!! The moment I set eyes on her I fell in love. She curled into my arms and sat on my lap during the entire drive back to Oregon. She is a very important member of our family, so gentle and sweet. We are extremely grateful to the wonderful, loving folks at Jelly's Place. Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!! BTW: We saw the cutest dogs of all sizes and cats while we were there. It was extremely hard to resist bringing home one of the darling rescue dogs from China. Julie and Maria, you are doing great work. read more

I appreciate this rescue for all they do for animals in need. I do believe they care for the animals and want what's best for them. However, from the beginning, things weren't right. After our application was accepted, the staff member on the phone recommended a puppy as the dog we were getting would need to get along with cats and the dog we already had at home. When we got to our appointment, we were brought a small dog (we asked for a larger dog), a large puppy, and an 8-year-old dog-twice. It felt that the staff member had already decided that this 8-year-old dog was going home with us. The dog was very sweet and mellow so we decided to give it a try. The dog was said to be healthy and calm, with no known aggression. The first 24 hours with the dog, we realized they were not as healthy as the rescue claimed. The dog had eye issues including some cloudiness, skin issues, and bad hips. When contacting the person who handles vet visits for the dog, it appeared that the rescue did know of these health issues, just didn't mention them. The first day having the dog, we had to go to the vet because they could barely walk, needed a medicated bath, and was running out of eye drops. This calm, and mellow, easy dog quickly turned into a medically complicated old dog that needed far more attention than I originally anticipated. After some pain medicine was delivered, the calm and mellow dog became very interested in our cats. We kept them separate and tried to introduce them as slowly and calmly as possible over multiple days but each time, the dog wanted to chase the cats. By this point, I was feeling like this dog wasn't the right fit for our family and I told the staff as much. I have plenty of written proof of their guilt trips, negativity, and pure spite for me while explaining this foster-to-adopt situation was not going to work. I've never in my life returned a pet and I spent many days going back and forth about keeping the pet until the final straw. Completely unprovoked, no food around, in broad daylight, with no other animals around, the dog bit my partner. Luckily he was wearing a sweatshirt and the dog didn't break the skin. But when I told Jelly's staff, I was shamed. I was told that we must have done something wrong because this dog had never done anything like that before. I was given mean, unprofessional, and completely inappropriate messages. I used to give all my Amazon orders to Jelly's Place, and donate at Pet Food Express. It's sad that such a negative experience with the humans at the shelter can impact the lives of the rescues they help. I hope they continue on their journey to helping animals, but I will never be interacting with this rescue again. read more

I had such a great adoption experience and now have the perfect little kitty cat (Columbia)! I am single, in my early 40s, and had been looking for a cat the past few months. Looking for a pet these days is an adventure to say the least. So was hugely relieved to find Jelly's Place! First up, I was glad they accepted in person visits. During my visit, I was able to spend time with a few cats. One kitty (Columbia) instantly captured my heart. They have such a great setup for the animals between the Catio and the individual rooms. This lets the cats be a little more relaxed so you get a better feel for their personalities. They also have a great setup for the dogs too. Secondly, I had a such overall staff experience too. I interacted mostly with Carolina and Alyssa, and also a bit with Julie. My visits (I went 2x) were very enjoyable. You can tell they all really care about the animals. They were also very patient with all my questions as a nervous new fur mommy. Elisa even checked on me the next day to see how things were going, which was very kind. Thirdly, I love the whole purpose behind Jelly's Place. They take in animals that are sick, injured and owner surrendered. There was one terribly hurt puppy being assisted when I arrived. I was very impressed by how Julie managed the delicate situation. Fast forward to today and I am so happy with Columbia. She is literally the purrfect kitty and I am so happy to have her! Thank you Jelly's Place for bringing her into my life. read more

Jelly's Place - My fur baby napping, so sweet! - Pet Adoption Near Me - San Pablo, California

We adopted our beautiful Izzie (formerly Anna) from Jelly's Place. They were wonderful to work with. Their dogs are well cared for and obviously loved. The staff was well organized and knowledgeable. I recommend you follow their process. It's set up that way for a reason - the best experience for the dogs and cats and for the adopters. Note: We were there during the incident another reviewer recounted, and his version is not accurate. Jelly's Place is doing God's work. read more

We have been searching online for a while now to find a dog that will be a good fit for our family. We've had many rescue dogs over the years so we have a pretty good idea of which ones would be right for us. Recently I saw a dog at Jelly's that I thought would be great, so I emailed the shelter asking about the dog. I got an email back, but all it said was "Please call the office between 11-5 Wed. - Sun." I called the office the next day during their business hours, but no one answered. I left a detailed message about the dog I was wondering about and gave my number. I never received a call back. I then sent another email letting them know that I had called and hadn't heard back. No one ever got back to me, and the sweet dog is still there. Things are done so much electronically these days that if they can't effectively connect with people via email, etc. they are going to miss many great adopters. I understand that they may be short-staffed with inadequate resources, but I've reached out to many other similar shelters by email and phone, and every single one of them contacted me with friendly and helpful information about the dogs I was interested in. I am giving Jelly's 3 stars because it may be a good place when you actually go there in person - I can't speak to that. I feel sorry for the dogs at Jelly's - they're missing out on finding some good homes. read more

They have terrible service terrible management and they reply very rude and they're not professional at all and they come off to me a to be racist!! read more

If I could rate this place a 0 I would. Not based on how they treat animals or their facility. But only on the text message my wife and I received after surrendering our dog. First and foremost our dog had a negative interaction with my son and broke our trust. And my sons safety is first and foremost before any animal. Wendy stated that it's all about the dogs feelings and the dogs safety had no care for what happened to my son. After a hard week. My son being injured by the dog then my sister passed away then the very next day surrendering our dog! With a lot of contemplation my wife and I decided it would be best not only for our dog but also for the safety of our two children to surrender our dog to the county two weeks ago. And tonight she text my wife some bull crap about us surrendering OUR dog and we tried to have him adopted but we had to act swiftly. I didn't feel right leaving him at Jelly's place. Because of Wendy's reaction and lack of sympathy for my son. Also her feeding my dog nasty ass "chicken" from her Fanny pack from god knows when. Also her basically making out with my dog was pretty gross and I felt violated for my dog. Needless to say I believe our actions were thoroughly thought about and we made the right decision to surrender our dog to the first place that can take him. We tried Jelly's place and they wanted us to try again at home. But when my kids safety is at risk I'm not willing to take that risk. read more

I love Jelly's Place so much! :) I adopted a wonderful senior pittie from there about 8 months ago and they had been looking after her for about 6 years. After adopting her I started volunteering there and I amazed by how many lives they save and how deeply they care about animals, especially Julie! I go there as often as possible to help out and I encourage everyone thinking about adopting, fostering, and/or donating, to support Jelly's. read more

Jelly's Place - Pet Adoption Near Me - San Pablo, California

I called before leaving. No answer, but the website says they're open and my lady really wants to meet this dog. She wants to meet it so bad that she drives across the bay 45 minutes through hard rain and high winds. We get there, the gates locked. I call and am told that because of the rain the dogs won't come out and there are no indoor facilities. So I'm thinking "what a waste of time." My lady however wants to let them know what's up so she calls back. No answer till the fourth try. She explains that she drove across the bay to check out this dog. Nowhere on the website does it say "depending on weather" or "no indoor facilities." The woman on the other end of the line was losing her cool and kept saying "what do you want me to do?" We want you to let us look at some dogs, that's what. But realistically we want you to answer phones and update the damn website. Whatever. We aren't coming back. I'm imagining whoever we talked to on the phone was stumbling around in dog shit like a cartoon character, but even then that doesn't merit the sass. read more

I've been driving by Jelly's Place the last 4 1/2 yrs & only stopped in 1 time , then my 2nd visit I took my husband with me & we brought home the best little guy who is supposed to be 1- 1 1/2 , definitely a mixed breed we're guessing Jack Russell, Chihuahua & perhaps terrier mix too . The staff & volunteers are the best ! Very friendly and accommodating! Our baby had been to the Vet & had been given a clean bill of health as well as he had gotten fixed too . We have 3 other dogs at home & 2 are seniors , so we brought Askum home to Foster to make sure all our fur babies would get along ? And they did & so we changed his name to Murray. When the time comes to add another fur baby we will always return to Jelly's !! Jelly's is the best !! read more

There just simply no words I have for how much I love these people, and I will say this now for people who like myself, skim quickly over reviews that are long in details, THIS ONE just has to be one because it is important for any animal lover to know when trust is as important as it gets. These folks are the real deal and full of love and compassion and a huge caring for all fur babies like there should always be. They are knowlegable and understanding of issues that only comes with a natural instinctual connection to doggies and kitties and I would recommend or refer anyone to them for countless reasons as they have proven these qualities time and again over many years now that they have been in my community. I would also kindly ask that any donation you might have thought of giving to a service like this, that this place is the most deserving of any other I can imagine. That said, I do have a more personal note after my most recent experience there just a few weeks ago. I have been blessed and so grateful in the past 10 years or more now, to Blythe, the original owner, and now Julie, who has just been an angel for helping me with so many things from adoption of 3 of 5 of my current cats and dogs, taking in a rescue, information about shots and vaccinations, affordable vets, and on and on. However.... I have to explain my most recent delimma and want Julie and the entire staff in the office to know just how much I appreciate them and just dont have words other than here to tell them.... I have a 7 yr old G. Shephard who is especially overprotective of our home and family and somehow also just naturally developed disdain for any other creature that didn't live in our home as well. A great dog though..loving, sweet and our heart around us but set in her ways now re: "social skills"... Long story short, We had to go out of town. It was back east for 2 weeks! Omg! WHAT TO DO WITH LUNA?!?! Not even friends felt comfortable, and boarding her in a strange boarding service just seemed scary and worrisome... and then an idea, I'm not sure would work because of her seemingly vicious personality around other people and dogs especially. Not to mention, Jelly' s rarely has VACANCY as you can imagine! But Julie found her a special spot. Charged me a very reasonable price, and off we went, totally confident and worry free about her care. And then the clincher..... When we anxiously went to pick her up, I had no idea what to expect except I knew she'd be happy to see us and finally be able to come out of a confined area which were very nice and roomy accommodations, but I couldn't see her being very friendly with anyone for any outside activities. STOP THE PRESSES!!!! And tell me I'm not dreaming!!! ALSO.. God, PLEASE give ROB, an employee there, Blessings and MORE Blessings for what he did... It was immediately apparent they had become friends and that she had received care and treatment I fully expected but was just blown away when I saw it. EVEN WALKS AND PLAY!!, BUT IT DOESN'T END HERE!! AND I WANT JULIE TO KNOW. AND ROB TO KNOW...THAT WE KNOW. (I'm sure Julie already knows) WE BECAME WELL AWARE OF AN APPARENT GIFT THAT ROB MUST HAVE BECAUSE.... LUNA IS A DIFFERENT DOG. IT IS AMAZING. WE JUST COULD'NT FIGURE IT OUT AT FIRST, BUT THERE WERE JUST CHANGES.. NOT WHINING, BARKING AT ANYTHING THAT MOVES, AND SOME KIND OF MELLOWNESS AND PEACEFULNESS THAT WE KNOW ONLY HAPPENED THRU HER ABILITY TO MAKE FRIENDS WITH HIM AND THEM. MUST HAVE BEEN SOMETHING SOMEONE "WHISPERED." ALL THE STAFF IS SWEET THOUGH AND CARE AND ARE OBVIOUSLY TALENTED!... Whatever it was, WE WANT TO RECOGNIZE YOU AND THANK YOU AND ALL THE REST FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS. :) :) When we returned read more

Animal lovers are the BEST people! Respectively, Odete Alexander Paws MOM read more

Just an overall horrible experience with them. Looking for a new dog, we went through the application process, we talked to them on the phone prior to us coming over, we discussed some requests for the new dog, etc. We had explained to them that the new dog would have to get along with cats and should be sweet and active enough to be a friend to a pre-teen kid. They brought out three dogs for us to meet, none of which were even close to what we had discussed with them. Eventually, after noticable pressure from Jelly's, we took one of the dogs home as a foster. The dog they ended up giving us was quite old and not known to be cat-friendly. On top of that, the dog was quite obviously riddled with health problems that ended up being known to Jelly's but they just decided not to tell us any of that until we asked about it ourselves. We still gave the dog a chance. Jelly's staff was pretty friendly and helpful in the beginning but as soon as we let them know we had doubts about the new dog being a good fit, things got nasty. We were met with accusations, rude texts, gaslighting, the hole nine. In the final days of having the dog as a foster, there was an unprovoked biting incident which startled us all. We were once again met with Jelly's accusing us of all sorts of things and making us feel like we were just bad people. They shamed us and made us feel horrible. "Truths" changed, things didn't add up, a lot of manipulation. Not the place to go if you want honesty and transparancy. read more

After scrolling both local SF & Bay Area pet shelters for weeks to adopt a cat Jelly's Place emailed me on a Sunday morning & scheduled the last viewing appointment for me to meet a cute kitten Sylvester later that afternoon.

Jelly Place's Director followed up with me that evening & a few days later to make sure the new kitty was adapting to his new home read more

I wanted to adopt a kitten from here. On their website it says they're open to the public Wed-Sunday 11-3. When I came in they said I could only view animals by appointment. Maybe they need to update their website or maybe they're racist? Idk. I saw another comment from a POC with the same experience I had. The people who worked there said they would review my application and call me for an appointment. I never received a call. I also communicated with them via email and when I asked if my application had been reviewed I received no response. Over a month later I ended up adopting from the Milo foundation where my application was quickly reviewed and everyone there was really nice! I got weird vibes from this place. read more

Went to Jelly's Place to adopt 1 kitten and ended up adopting a brother and sister... hard to choose as there are so many animals in need...

The women at the front desk had a terrible tone was very rude and unfriendly as I walked in with my children at 4:37pm to inquire about a dog we were interested in she rudely said we're closed!! I said oh I'm sorry that you guys are up until 5pm? She said no new winter hours we are closed!! Well the website or the we search doesn't say that. By the way the gate was open. So I asked can I asked a questioned about a dog available she rudely replied we're closed. My children were standing outside and pointed out at a pup as someone was putting the dogs inside I went through the ramp to see what they we're pointing at I hear a loud scream we're closed!! I turned around and said wow you guys are so nice..... I have never been so disappointed and rudely treated my children looked at me and said mom why were they so rude to us!

I love Jelly's Place and what they stand for but I have this heavy-hearted feeling that my adoption process/experience could have been better. I adopted a dog that was a stray and they eventually started showing signs of reactivity towards (mostly) men and other dogs. I have tried reaching out to Jelly's Place only to get a response about how they were "never like that" at Jelly's facility. This made me feel like I was to blame for the reactivity that slowly started to develop and I didn't want to keep bringing the issue up and getting these kind of responses... I love dogs and all animals and would not do anything to distress a newly adopted pet. I have already spent $800 on his behavioral assessment and will be spending around $1500 more for professional training. I'm not upset at how much money or effort I need to put on my newly adopted dog to aid them in becoming more comfortable with their environment. The issue is that this was not disclosed to me and little to no effort was offered as help... I understand that Jelly's place is busy with all other issues happening but this is still a little life that was adopted out. I can not imagine my dog living in another home with someone who would not understand them and be frustrated. The 3 stars are for introducing me to my little companion (I am obviously attached and would do anything to help them), the missing 2 stars reflect Jelly's communication. read more

Julie is a savior! I wish we would have known to go to her before we brought our sick cat to one of the larger fancy 24hr clinics in Walnut Creek(Sage Wellness) were we where taken for all that we had and more for years.

Sage never called back or doctors were too busy to talk to us. Julie was the only person to help us. She opened her doors on a stormy Sunday when they were closed just to make sure our little guy was okay. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH JULIE From the Shokrai family. read more

Jelly's Place - Pet Adoption Near Me - San Pablo, California

I was feeling ready to adopt again after the loss of my beloved rescue pug this past winter. I went to Jelly's Place after a recent bad experience of trying to adopt from another well known rescue in the area. What a stark difference between Jelly's and the other rescue. Jelly's completely restored my faith in rescues and showed me they are not all the same. The adoption process was not at all complicated and they are very appreciative to everyone who adopts from them and they take great care of the animals. I really do not understand negative reviews based on not responding to calls/emails. If you are serious about adopting you need to show up in person. I went to Jelly's to see a dog I saw on petfinder BUT as fate would have it I came home with a different dog lol! I didn't expect to come home with any dog that day. I adopted a beautiful pug mix I call 'Felina". She was a stray and so well adjusted when I got her, she bonded with me right away. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a new best friend to consider adopting from Jelly's Place. read more

Okay. These folks do not answer their phone. They do not respond to messages left on their answering machine. They do not respond to email. They do not keep an eye on their website.

How 'bout them apples? read more

We donated our cat tree here and took the time to look around and meet some animals. It's an outdoor shelter and it seems like there's a lot of space!

How about volunteering instead of bitching!! read more

I was there earlier today to drop off a dog that I rescued from the streets. I wanted to take him there because it's a no kill shelter. I called before hand to let them know that I found 2 dogs but one ran away from me. When I got there the woman in charge started berating her colleague and me saying "I bet it's their dog and they just want to get rid of it" . Then she comes to me and says that I have to bring both dogs and they won't just take one. This made no sense and goes against everything that this business is supposed to be! What kind of a DOG SHELTER doesn't take in a dog? The woman in charge there was rude, loud and then went on to say bring them in together and we will call animal control. If I knew that, I could have just called animal control myself, why would I waste my time coming to an animal shelter? I would not recommend this place to drop off any dog. read more

We just adopted a dog from Jelly's Place, and it was a great experience. We filled out applications at several different shelters, unsure how it would go, and Jelly's Place got back to us after not much wait and said we sounded like a good fit for the dog we hoped to meet. We were able to make an appointment for the next day, and they were fine with me saying we definitely wouldn't be taking a dog home that day because my partner couldn't join us and meet the dog for a few more days. On both our visits, everyone was helpful, open, friendly, and they obviously really cared about the animals. They helped make it a relaxed visit with a few different dogs, and when we went forward with the adoption they were incredibly generous with items we'd need right away for the dog's care. We are very grateful and very happy that Jelly's Place helped us find a sweet addition to the family! read more

I love what they all do. we visited the place to meet a dog and while there met everyone and they all were nice. showed love and compassion for the animals. They were busy, pet surrenders and a bag brought in with two puppies whoes back legs weren't functioning.The owner gently scooped them up to take them to a vet as soon as they came through the front door. Boxes are left at the gate, they rescue from kill shelters so dogs can have a chance. Recently took a pregnant mother from being euthanized saving her and the puppies. They rehab animals left for dead, they heal them but equally give them love. I wonder how many vet trips in a day? Bottom line is they care. The owner gives her life for them all. They are saving lives and giving love to the puppies/ dogs that are sick or dying. They don't die alone there. So much love and dedication. Donate, spread the word about this organization. Applications take time because other people apply but maybe they just got a box of very sick dogs to save. Keep trying but don't give mean reviews until you walk into the place and see what they do. read more

I lost my husband a few years ago and I couldn't shake off the loneliness without him. Nor could I even admit that something was wrong when I until I went out to visit my brother and stay in his apartment while he was in the hospital. His cat was being fed but he was very lonely without my bother and so we got real close while I was there. I felt like he had intentionally made me fall for him. When I got back home I stopped off at Jelly's Place and was warmly greeted by the people working there. They are all animal lovers. I initially wanted a Siamese cat my brother's cat whom I had initially fallen in love with. I went back a few to Jelly's Place a few more times and hung out in the cat paddock so I could meet the individual cats because I was told to let the cat pick me out. One cat followed me around rubbing against my leg and although he was a little scruffy looking and did not smell good, he was the one I adopted. This; after leaving a panicked message to save him for me. The next day I brought him home. I love him more and more every day. He lays beside me at night. I love his throaty croak like meow when he wants me to feed him. Now he grooms himself constantly which brings out the luster in his coat. After less than a week was looking and acting like a young cat playing with the cat toy he had ignored in the beginning. I fell in love with him before he lost the animal shelter smell but as he got stronger and even more and more better looking he became even more beautiful. I love this cat. read more

Jelly's Place - Pet Adoption Near Me - San Pablo, California

7 months ago, my fiancé and I decided that we wanted to welcome a furry friend into our little family. We went to several rescues in the Bay Area before going to Jelly's place during our search, but without any luck, we always came home empty handed. Jelly's Place, however, was the place that changed our lives furrr-ever. Julie was warm and welcoming upon our arrival, she was knowledgeable about the dogs in her care, there was space for the dogs to run around, and most importantly, she helped us find our little Mochi girl. Mochi's story began in China where she, and many others, were subjected to inhumane practices in the dog meat industry. We are very thankful to have Mochi in our lives and for people like Julie who are passionate about saving dogs like Mochi. read more
