Some pet owners need to re-home an animal and prefer not to surrender it to a shelter. We help by including their animals here on our Community Pet Listings page. Each post is live on our site for up to 30 days, and is written by the pet’s owner. If you have questions or would like to adopt an animal on the list, simply contact the owner directly by phone or email.

Ethan, who will be 2 years old come June, is a loving, energetic pup who enjoys playtime, his rubber bowling pin toy (all pup toys in general!), and cuddle time in the evening. My husband and I adopted him from the SF SPCA at 4 months old. We have enjoyed EVERY moment with him and truly love him as a family member. He has a big personality and shows us love in order of magnitude.

Ethan, unfortunately, cannot be around babies, toddlers, or other small children. He has had two negative interactions with toddlers, which were tied to resource guarding of his food. We tried training him to be safe around babies, but with our own first child on the way (arriving in early May) we have realized, though extremely heartbreaking, he would be much better suited in a home of loving adults where doesn’t need to be constantly supervised for child safety.

Ethan has a warm, vibrant, and happy personality. He is extremely loyal, fun, and super cuddly with adults. (He loves playing with other dogs too and will tire them out if you have one in need of a playmate!) We hope to find a new child-free family who can cherish and enjoy Ethan like we have and will do anything we can to ensure his success with a new family. We are also happy to share some notes about Ethan we gathered from a very reputable Bay Area trainer. She believes Ethan is not a vicious dog, but rather a high-energy dog who made some poor choices in the heat of the moment around his food. She is fully confident he can live a great, happy life in a child-free home. This is our hope for him!

Cleo is a chunky black and white tuxedo cat. She uses a litter box without fail. She is not a cuddly cat, but she is social and mildly vocal. She likes to sit next to her person on a bed or couch. She likes to go outdoors in the day, but she comes in at night. She has just lost her person (who died) and is currently being foster housed at my house. She will need some time to get used to new people. She does not like dogs or other cats and I would not suggest she be around small children as they would scare her. Her best home would be with one or two people in a quiet neighborhood with a very protected back yard.
