Other Animals Available for Adoption
Last Updated: August 14, 2008
PHS/SPCA often has birds, reptiles, amphibians, and other
exotic animals available for adoption. In addition we have farm
animals that need loving homes.
Because exotic animals have specialized needs, PHS/SPCA adopts them to potential adopters that have researched the care required for that particular animal. If you are interested in an exotic animal, please call Customer Service at 650/340-7022 extension 354 for more information or visit the shelter in person. Please note we do not ship animals, adopters must visit the shelter in person prior to adoption.

Red-Eared Sliders
There are a few of us here at the Peninsula Humane Society that would love to be adopted! We enjoy basking in the sun on warm days, and like to swim around and eat up all our food when we’re not basking. If you are interested in adopting any of us, make sure you have a predator-proof outdoor pond or a sizeable indoor set-up. We are going to need some space to swim! |
 Dawson
Bearded Dragon
A429287
My name is Dawson, and I’m an adorable young bearded dragon. I came to the shelter as a stray, so no one is sure exactly how old I am, but my caretakers know that I am not yet full -grown. When I am an adult I will need at least a 50 gallon tank habitat to run around and explore. I have quite an appetite for crickets, mealworms, fruits, and veggies. Come by and visit me soon!

 Claremont
Corn Snake
A427302
Hi I’m Claremont, a very beautiful and active corn snake. After coming to the shelter as a stray, I had a minor surgery to remove some small cysts from under my skin. I’ve made a great recovery from the surgery and am ready to go to a new home! I’m a bit feisty and very curious. I enjoy coming out of my enclosure, as long as you keep a hold of me – I can slither around quite quickly!
 Cyrus
Ball Python
A425987
My name is Cyrus and I am a very lucky female ball python. I came to the shelter in April with a large open wound on my back that went all the way down to my spinal chord. My caretakers weren’t sure if I would survive, but the vets here did surgery, and after months of recovery, I am ready to go to my new forever home! I am now a very healthy snake with a great appetite! I am active and friendly, and very used to being handled. I don’t need any special care -- just occasional soaks in warm water, proper heating, and someone to love me!
 Wilma
Ball Python
A433388
My name is Wilma, and I am an adorable young ball python. I am probably around 6 months old, but I could live up to 30 years! I am definitely going to get bigger, and will need a tank that I can grow into. I am very friendly and used to being handled by people. When you take me out, I just curl into a ball in your hand. |

Available Farm Animals |
 Chickens!
Cockadoodle doo! Red here with a bunch of my hen and rooster friends. We are looking for a good home to roam around to hunt for juicy insects and worms. We have lovely black, brown and red feathers. Did you know that chickens are intelligent animals and good problem-solvers? More advanced than young children, chickens possess the ability to understand that an object, when taken away and hidden, nevertheless continues to exist. So take a few of us home and watch our complex and social nature! |

**CAUTION: Turtles may transmit bacteria causing disease in humans. It is important to wash the hands thoroughly after handling turtles or material that had contact with turtles. Do not allow water or any other substance that had contact with turtles to come in contact with food or areas where food is prepared. Make sure that these precautions are followed by children and others handling turtles.
To find out if we have any other exotic animals available for adoption,
you can call the Exotic Animal Hotlines at 650/340-7022 extension 708
(birds) and 709 (reptiles).
These are only some of the exotic animals we have for adoption. We do our best to update this page regularly but we cannot guarantee every animal shown here is still available.
To adopt an exotic animal, please call 650/340-7022
extension 354 for more information or visit the shelter in person. Adoption
hours are 11 am to 7 pm on the weekdays and 11 am to 6 pm on the weekends.
(Note that it is often not possible for our staff to complete adoptions
for visitors arriving less than an hour before our posted closing times.)
Our staff is busy taking care of the animals and making matches, therefore
we are unable to answer inquiries about individual animals over email.
