(I've tried working with some other organizations that did not seem organized to say the least) Loree and Lanae were the ones I worked with and I just want to say thank you so much!!!

No interview, just the questionnaire and a flat out you should look for something else. Pretty disappointing that an adoption agency looking for good homes is turning people away.

I am very happy with the…read moreservice I received and my son seems to have had a great time during his 4-day stay.They are very transparent about their pricing on their website, which seems fair for what is offered: an enriching cage, a metal running wheel, great selection of food (buffet style), fresh water and treats. I didn't need to bring anything except for my little boy. The lady owner helped my son remove his fur ring, informed me about the pellets they use (from Germany to closely mimic the natural chinchilla diet), and I truly appreciate her assistance and carefulness. I will definitely be returning for boarding/grooming and hope to adopt another chinchilla from this rescue in the future.

It was a wonderful experience. Out of all the cat places I've visited, I connected with these cats…read morethe most. It was the first time that I wanted to take home a kitty. Compared to other places I've visited, some of the kitties here had more attitude. We shared room 1 with two other girls. They were slightly frightened by the orange kitty because it kept making hissing noises. The kitty also got into a cat fight with two other kitties. Cost $20 per person with reservations. This place is quite small, so they don't have room for you to hang out before your appointment. It's best to arrive on time. 50 minutes passed by quickly. I would visit again in the future.

The owner, Laurie, and the other volunteers were extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and organized. We saw people of all ages (young kids, teens, and adults) having a great time. There are two playrooms filled with up to 20 kittens each. There was plenty of seats, toys, food, etc. Note to wear/brung socks when you visit! We forgot but they had the cutest socks available for purchase. We cannot recommend this cafe enough and hope all of these kittens get adopted soon!

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.
