I took my kids down to Stanislaus animal services a while after there Mom passed away and my son's…read moreand I looked around and we saw this little female partly calico cat. She was about a year old and as we were looking for a little kitten Iwas not to sure about getting a 1 year old cat but my boys just fell in love with her in the little room they have there at this place where u can hold the animals and see what kind of temperament they have but like I said my boys just fell in love with her and I pretty much did as well. So we paid the $60 and we took her home and we kept her in our house for about a month and we didn't let her out because I herd your saposed to leave the cats inside your house for at least two weeks so they don't just run away and don't come back if u don't. So we over did it but once we let her out the whole neighborhood fell in love w her man. We live just 3 houses down from a school and when the school let's ou and before school when all the kids get dropped off all the kids would pet her and just love on her. I'm not even kidding everyone fell in love with our cat Bimo. Anyways, the problem with her was she would try to sneak into my car if I had the door open before I left and she try to get into everyone's car who was outside. All the kids who were getting out of schools cars the UPS drivers trucks, I mean everyone. So I'm am so worried someone else will fall in love w her and take her. She's chipped and has all her shots and is fixed because all the cats down there are. So there's no worries there but I'm just soon scared she's going to get taken. Otherwise it's pretty hilarious but we are all verry happy w her. She's the best. No kidding. Thanks Stnislaus Animal Services. I'd leave a picture of her here for the review but I don't know exactly where she is right now. She's outside chatting around right now. She always comes home for the night at dinner time though. So I'm not too too worried that someone's taken her. NOT YET THAT IS. HA HA

They e even made post about dogs being unhealthy because they've stayed at their facility for so long. However, they make so many restrictions for even adopting from them. I tried to adopt from them and even though I had grown up with the same breed of dog in my home I was told I couldn't adopt one of their dogs because I was a teena and not my parent. I wasn't an adult and that the dog required so much knowledge that they claimed I didn't have. But how could that be when I literally explained my knowledge of the breed. I ended up purchasing my baby from a breeder, but it's unfortunate they don't want to encourage rescuing. I understand vetting people to make sure animals go to a good home. But they should be less restrictive when it comes to letting people adopt. If I'm already paying $400+ to adopt I'm not in it to be a harmful owner. People don't have money to waste. perhaps then they would have money to run their facility instead of constantly begging. I even see they have so many requirements to foster. You either need help or don't. They made a post about a dog that was severely overweight because it's locked in a cage for multiple hours a day. How could they even let that happen. Smh. They have xoloitzuintli at their place right now and I bet they have received a lot of interest In him but I bet they wont let him be adopted

When we first arrived there, we noticed how peaceful the place was - none of the incessant barking that you encounter at the local shelter. Their grounds were well maintained. We were told the dogs are let out to run in the yard for 3 hours a day. Their website has a bio on each pet so you can read a background info on each one. Obviously when it's an owner surrender they have more information on the pet, less so if the pet was a stray. But even then, they observe them while at the shelter to give you an idea what to expect. Their system makes it easy to adopt. I recommend sending an application in to get approved first. Once you've been approved, just call to make an appointment to see a dog or cat that you would like to meet. They will hold the dog or cat for you until your appointment. This is different from local city shelters where you might see a dog or cat listed online but it might be gone by the time you get there. Their adoption fee ($350) is fair as my dog was already microchipped and his shots were updated, except for rabies. I was a bit surprised that he was released without updating his rabies. All in all, I would recommend PetsNPals to anyone looking to adopt. They definitely care about the pets and try to make their shelter stay as pleasant as possible. Please adopt, don't shop for a pet.

I was able to adopt him and bring him home. The process was extremely easy! They brought me to the back room to have a meet & greet with him to see how we mesh. After I was 100% sure I wanted to adopt him, they went over his birthday and history with me. He was already neutered, microchipped, and had his first shot. They gave him one more shot before he came home with me. I had already filled out an adoption application online, so I didn't need to fill one out in person. My boyfriend and I decided to rename him to Milo! Milo was slowly introduced to my other cat named Momo. At first it was an adjustment, but to my surprise, it only took them 2 days to get acquainted with each other. I definitely got lucky there! Overall, I would recommend this rescue.
