Small Animals Available for Adoption
These are only some of the wonderful animals we have for adoption. We do our best to update this page regularly (with volunteers) but we can't guarantee every animal shown here is still available. It's also typical that we have small animals in the shelter who haven't yet had their photos taken, etc, so even though the site has been updated, that doesn't mean you're seeing all the animals here that are actually available at our shelter. So please come down to our shelter! It's a loving place and we are happy to help you find the perfect pet for you. To hear a recording of the most current listing of animals for adoption, call 650/340-7022, ext. 700. more adoption information

To adopt an animal, please visit the shelter in person to meet with a customer service representative and the animal. You can download a small animal adoption profile and bring it with you to the shelter. Shelter hours are 11 am to 7 pm on the weekdays and 11 am to 6 pm on the weekends. It is often not possible for our staff to complete adoptions when visitors arrive less than an hour before we close (7 pm on weekdays and 6 pm on weekends). Please note this and arrive at least an hour before our closing time if you think you might be adopting a pet.

Rabbits
PHS/SPCA almost always has a LOT of rabbits available for adoption.
Want to know more about rabbits? Rabbits are social, can be litterbox trained, and have a life span of eight to ten years. Rabbits should live inside for protection from predators. Their living area should be free of materials that would be dangerous to chew.
PHS/SPCA includes spay or neuter surgery as part of the $40 adoption fee for our rabbits (altered rabbits are healthier and have better dispositions). If you'd like a little furry bundle (or two or three!) in your life come talk to an adoption counselor today.
If you cannot locate the rabbit of your dreams here at PHS/SPCA, then be sure to check out the House Rabbit Society organization. The House Rabbit Society rescues rabbits from shelters and places them up for adoption, and their web site provides a wealth of information on rabbit care.
Bonded Pairs
These rabbits came from the same home or have bonded together at PHS/SPCA. Because they have bonded, they want to go to a new home together. Thinking of opening your home to two (or several) rabbits? You can't go wrong with bunnies who are already buddies!
PHS/SPCA normally has a variety of Guinea Pigs available for adoption. The adoption fee for a guinea pig is only $15. Guinea pigs are gentle rodents that live up to seven years. Many learn to enjoy being held. They prefer to live with other guinea pigs. They come in a variety of colors and coats. If you are interested in adopting one or more guinea pigs, come to PHS to talk to an adoption counselor!
If you cannot locate the guinea pig of your dreams here at the PHS/SPCA, then be sure to check out Cavy Spirit Guinea Pig Rescue and Adoption. Cavy Spirit rescues guinea pigs from all over and places them for adoption. The web site includes a wealth of information on caring for these cute critters!
PHS/SPCA often has hamsters available for adoption. The adoption fee for a hamster is only $10. Hamsters are nocturnal rodents and have a life span of up to three years. Syrian Hamsters (also called Teddy Bear Hamsters and Golden Hamsters) grow to be about 8 inches long, and prefer to live alone as adults. Small Dwarf Hamsters (which grow to be about 4 inches long) can live alone or in groups. They are easy to care for, and many enjoy gentle handling. If you'd like a little furry, scurrying creature in your life come talk to an adoption counselor today.
PHS/SPCA often has rats available for adoption. Rats are curious and friendly rodents. They are social and prefer to live with other rats. Some rats can be trained to do tricks. They have a life span of two to three years. Females are more active and males are more cuddly. They are easy to care for. The adoption fee for a rat is only $10. So if you'd like a little furry bundle (or two or three!) in your life come talk to an adoption counselor today.
PHS/SPCA often has mice available for adoption. Mice are playful and active. They have a life span of up to two years. Although they tend to be shy, some learn to recognize their caretakers and seek them out for treats. They are social animals and prefer to live with other mice. They are easy to care for. The adoption fee for a mouse is only $5. If you'd like a little furry bundle (or two or three!) in your life come talk to an adoption counselor today.
