Nice staff and very clean environment. Plenty of space for the animals. Great place to adopt a pet!

Man oh man, great facility, even better staff. Kind and knowledgeable from first to last. We go there for training with our pup and we have been uniformly impressed with everyone and everything we have seen.

We are so fortunate to have PHS in our community. Taking the best and most conscientious care of both domestic and wild animals. Adopt dont shop. And if you find an injured or orphaned wild animal know that the wildlife center will provide the best care.

Very helpful staff. Quick and easy pet license renewal. Clean environment and all the animals look well cared for awaiting their forever homes.

Mowgly is enjoying his life at full. He is the 3rd special friend that we adopted through the Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA. Great job PHS Team in rescuing and sheltering animals!

Great service and really take care of the animals in the shelter, I adopted a 6 month old chinchilla for my wife as a surprise since we had one 6 years ago but we wanted to adopt, I definitely recomend this shelter to adopt or volunteer.

Everyone is kind and truly has the animals best interests in heart and mind. I adopted a doggo and feel like the process made me show I was committed to caring for her.

Wow this place is amazing. Super well maintained — the works/volunteers were friendly. Feels like a dog hotel than rescue.

I love PHS! I feel so blessed to live in an area with such a wonderful resource for animals!Over the years, I have gone there for many reasons.I have adopted a few cats... brought in lost animals... brought in injured wildlife... donated unneeded animal supplies...Always, the staff there really cares about the animals and goes above and beyond to ensure compassionate treatment of animals and humans both!Every time I have been there, I have been helped by people who know what they are doing and listen to what I am saying.

Thank i got myself a friend bunny rabbit im so happy i choose charlie

Great place to get pets. I got my guinea pigs from there.

This place is so nice. Its definitely one of the best animal shelters in the Bay area. We got our newest kitten here, and the adoption process was easy, and the staff was really helpful. If youre looking to get a kitten, they update a phone message daily so you can know if they have kittens before you come.

I just adopted my wonderful 8 month old German Shepherd puppy from the Peninsula SPCA. They do such an amazing job there, so professional and so caring. I know that Maple and I will have a wonderful life together!

The place is very clean and the receptionist is kind and helpful.

Nice place to adapt a pet. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. I got lucky and rescued a 1yr old golden retriever

Went very well I did like there service she was very nice keep the good job

Excellent no-kill shelter. Very clean facilities and friendly staff to help you find the perfect furry companion.

Great staff and facility is amazing.

Go here to adopt homeless animals first ~☆~

If you love animal, this place will suit you. There are dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes , and some raptiles. You can adopt them and you can also volunteer at this place.

I loved how they had bios on each of the fur babies. They have a great process of putting the potential pet in a room with the potential owner to if there is a connection. We adopted Tootsie (whose original name was Mirabelle) and we couldnt be more happier.

I found a squirrel in my backyard that i thought was injured. I kept him overnight and got him food, water, a blanket, and rabbit bedding- and then called the Peninsula Humane Society for advice on where to have him looked at. They were so knowledgeable and was willing to get the little guy same day. Turns out the little dude was still a baby, and she said he looked pretty healthy. They took him and said theyll nurture him until he knows how to be a squirrel again by being among their other squirrels at the wildlife center. Im really glad theyre around to take care of these wayward little ones.. consider donating to them!

Wonderful place to find a new furry friend or to volunteer. Filled with friendly people and pets!

Todays marks one year that I have been to this amazing place. The best thing I did was walk in here and my fur baby found me. Why I say found me, I didnt even see him,I walked pass and he jumped up and the look I got was like did you really not see it. 😀. The team was great they explained what I was getting into taking him home. They helped me find everything I would need. They even helped me get some classes for him. I am truely so grateful to this place.

Best place to get a cat or dog Amazing and kind people

This place is amazing. Very quiet and peaceful, the staff here is nice theres good parking and a variety of animals here. Just coming here and being around the animals is so peaceful . You can also apply to be in the cages with the pets too. Just look at this chiuawa! :D

I visited here looking for a cat to adopt, the facilities were some of the best Ive ever seen, the cats all seemed very well cared for and the staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, highly recommend to anyone looking to support the welfare of animals or adopt a new family member!

Super helpful staff who take great care of the kitties! Made the adoption easy.

They were so patient ... and I love my new roommate!

The staff was very kind and the process of adopting was made very easy.

Great service, answers questions thoroughly

Excellent place to get puppies/ dogs. The people their are friendly and nice, knowledgeable.

Very nice facility.

Excellent shelter. Caring and thoughtful staff.

Beautiful and well maintained center.

We started looking for a bonded pair of rescue dogs shortly after our sweet shepherd mix, Rizzolli, died. We saw a few pairs available in the Bay Area, but were drawn to Oliver & Luna. We were not sure what to expect when we went to meet them - they’d been surrendered over 10 months earlier - why hadn’t anyone adopted them?Because they were waiting for us!The staff and volunteers at the shelter clearly loved Oliver & Luna, as they do all of the rescues at the shelter. It’s spacious and clean and there is a sense of play everywhere you walk.These are big and happy dogs! They have adapted well to our home and ‘hood in Oakland. They are happy around people, which we credit to the many volunteers who walked, read to them, and cared for them.The adoption process was thorough, not rushed, no pressure, and bittersweet as we walked out the door with these sweethearts - I know everyone at the shelter will miss them - and they will miss their caregivers, but we will try to make up for it with a loving forever home. 💓🐾💗

All the people that work there are so kind and polite!

Very clean facility all the pets look nice , happy and healthy . The sad part when I visit the cats the staff will not let you have a private time unless you are willing to adopt. That was a big turnaround for this place. Im only giving them five star so that you can visit . Every animal deserves a second chance even from this place.

Walking through the door there is a lovely woman to greet you and help guide you to where to go and explains each level. She was very welcoming and friendly. Walking throughout the building and checking the doggy levels was cool. Each dog has their own room with a paper that explains a bit of their history. I didnt feel pressured to adopt anything I just wanted to check it out. Its been a while since my dog passed and I feel its time to find a new pet, although I didnt come across a pet that I connected with I didnt feel my trip was wasted. Id come back again as Im still on my puppy search.

Very friendly and clean facility. They had a fabulous diversity of dog breeds. They have professional staff and a super cute pet store with outfits and trinkets. They have windows where you can view newborn kittens. They have great foster and adoption programs as well.

I love all the things they do for the animals. Thank you !

Friendly staff very clean facilities not wide selection of animals at the facility due to pandemic most of the dogs are old or nervous or certain type of issues mostly pit bulls and chihuahuas

Very disappointing. I arrived at 5pm and quickly found a dog that was promising to adopt. Filled out the paperwork required to view her and then was told that I MAY be able to visit with her before they close at 7pm. How do any dogs get adopted out of this shelter if you can only help one person at a time?! Highly recommend visiting the Milpitas SPCA. Better selection of pets and much more efficient.

I wasnt able to adopt any humanes, but they did have a lot of kittens, so it still worked out.

World class care for animals in our community!

Beautiful and clean shelter that takes such good care of all the animals. They put a huge emphasis on not only ensuring that the dog is right for you, but that you’re the right fit for the dog (or cat)! Volunteers are always seen walking the dogs, cleaning the rooms and keeping the animals company. Would highly recommend adopting from here.

Great place and very helpful people. We went there to look after just having to put my other dog down. They were very understanding and patient with me. Taking my feelings into account when talking about getting another. I would definitely recommend these people to everyone.

They were very nice an welcoming. The staff was very helpful to me in my situationA gentleman named Dan was kind enough to help me out with a cat carrier an crate. Im living in a homeless shelter in south San Francisco an it made me happy they helped me out wen I reached out to them. Thank u appreciate it

Very nice employees here really knowledgeable helpful

Weve visited twice, this time for jiggy (pictured)The facility is great, open air turf play area for dogs to run and get acquainted with visitors and individual doggy rooms.There can be a wait to meet your future dog, but the staff is friendly and the dogs in good health

This is the best shelter I have ever seen. We loved volunteering here while we lived in the bay area!

Took Maxs G home January 31 2020

Cool place sad its mostly pits chihuahuas and husky dogs people realize they cant handle and give away so the dogs are depressed.

I love this facility. Since adopting my furry daughter, weve taken her here to take advantage of their programs. So far, weve attended Companion classes, Pet First Aid classes, holiday and other fun events. If youve recently adopted a furry child, I recommend you take advantage of their great programs. Also, if you have any items at home that youd like to donate, bring them over! They have a second hand store where they sell the items and the profits go back to the center.

I love the new building! You can see cats on the third floor, dogs on the first, and everything else on the second floor. The volunteers are wonderful and just so pleasant to interact with -- its heart warming to watch them do their work with the animals. I highly recommend visiting just to enjoy the environment and animals, even when you dont want to adopt one.

This animal shelter is like a 5 star hotel for animals. My friend wants to adopt a specific kind of kitten and my other friend whos usually volunteered there suggested this place. The shelter is nice, clean and seems like the building is pretty new. Lots of volunteers there. They even have training and bonding rooms to get acquainted with the animals that you want to adopt. We saw dogs, cats and rabbits but at the time they didnt have any kitten.

I went to a few puppy play classes on Tuesday evenings. Connie is extremely knowledgable and caring for the puppies. My puppy was enrolled in a training class (not with SPCA) and I honestly regret signing up for that. Connie is much more helpful when it comes to questions about my new puppy. I would recommend the package deal.During our first play class our puppy and another growled at each other at the end of class. Connie made it a point to have both pups stay after class to ensure the puppies ended play class on a good note and that the negative encounter wasnt their last memory of the play session. Our puppy training class (not at SPCA) cost exponentially more and each time we were forced to leave once the hour of class was up..

What an amazing experience. Their fantastic staff and volunteers helped us find our two forever friends. Bring old towels to donate and come early to beat the crowd. Dont be afraid to show up multiple times. We came five times in 7 days and found the perfect cats for us.

One of the nicest shelters Ive seen. You can tell the volunteers at the center truly care for the animals there. You see them playing, exercising and being overall involved. The floors are nicely separated and they even play relaxation music in some of them. The main opportunity I see is the cleaning of the rooms where the dogs are. Because they do their necessities in them (urine and fecal), the cleaning should be a little more sanitational. Ive seem them use a mop from one room to the other and just spreading the urine used mop throughout the room as it is cleaned. Perhaps a little hose and desinfectant or clean the urine and then disinfect the room. Just an observation. But thank you for caring for animals that do not yet have a loving home.

They take excellent care of the rescues and do everything possible to put the animals in homes best suited to the needs of the pet. They go the extra step to provide additional training for those that would be otherwise hard to place. Their facility is incredibly clean, and with a vet on site, the pets get any medical treatment they may need. I cant say enough about this wonderful organization.

Beautiful new facility. The animals are well cared for. The staff is wonderful and extremely helpful.Im. Very pleased.

Nice, spacious, clean newer building. Cats & dogs look happy & well cared for. Adoption process for cats was quite simple and quick. Sad there are so many chihuahua sized dogs for adoption; nice for those looking to adopt, but sad that so many chihuahua sized dogs were given up for adoption. Large or small, cats and dogs are a big responsibility, not just a play thing or status symbol. Just happy I found a healthy cat to join my family.

I really enjoyed visiting the Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA Adoption Center. It is very welcoming and clean. They have condos with clear windows for the dogs and cats so that they have plenty of space to walk around and you can see them. If you want to spend time with them, youll need to talk to the staff. The staff is very friendly and take good care of the animals.

This no-kill shelter is amazing. They really care about the animals and run mostly with the help of volunteers. Dogs and shop are on ground floor, wildlife on 2nd and cats, exotic animals and a bee exhibit on 3rd. There is an elevator and lots of parking for easy accessibility. A local gem!

Went in to look at adopting a cat and the wait was supposedly three And a half hours because they said they only had one volunteer who could actually put a cat in a room with us. Yet there were 4-6 volunteers on the cat floor and several on the other floors who were just chilling on their phones. Sad because they had so many cats who need homes and we would have loved to give one a home.

This adoption center is really clean and the staff are friendly. However, the system for waiting to meet a dog is flawed. Waiting time can reach beyond 3hrs!! I understand that we cant rush big decisions like these. However, each family should come prepared to meet the dog. If theyre not ready (owned dog is not on site, waiting for a family memeber to arrive, etc), the slot should be given to the waiting family who is ready. My experience was that my family including my dog was waiting to meet with a dog who we want to welcome in the family. A lady arrived before us and asked to meet the dog that we wanted to meet. Thats alright. She met with the dog for an hour or so and that is still fine by me. However, she wanted her husband to meet the dog as well. Her husband took 2hrs to arrive at the center. Then thats when they started the deciding about the adoption. I asked the staff if that was fair. According to the staff, the priority is given to the first one who enters the door. Thats sound and fair. What unfair to me is that my family was ready but we had to wait for someone who was not ready. In the end, we waited for 4hrs. Im happy that the family who took forever decided to adopt the dog. But what if they didnt and I gave up waiting earlier? That dog could have missed an adoption.

We enjoyed looking at the Animals. My Brother in Law & Sister were looking for a dog. They didnt get one. A Friend of a Friend had puppys. The dog before this visit they had for 10yrs then Lobo got cancer & passed away. Nice play area to get to know the dog.

The new building is a blessing for the adoptable animals. It is kept very clean and is easy to navigate. The older building is still in use for the intake animals so this gives a lot more space to accommodate for the animals in the best way possible.

Very unprofessional volunteers and really rude. They’ve lied to us saying we cannot adopt a animal unless we’ve volunteered at the shelter first. Also was felt discriminated against, they said I look like a little kid and cannot adopt a dog till I had pulled a my CA ID to verify I was old enough. Supervisor was not helpful either he was also very rude but the shelter is really neat and clean. The only reason I’ll even give them 1 star

Always so much fun to see the dogs and cats but wish they werent so confined in these rooms. Cats are on the 3rd floor and you can enter a few of the rooms.

Went in to see an older pitbull, they had me fill out a form and then had me wait for 45 minutes. Workers were just sitting around on their phones/computers. Guy finally comes over and tells me I can’t even see the dog, says I need written consent from my landlord. Could have told me that when I filled out the form over half an hour ago, complete waste of my time. Would be nice if workers didn’t seem miserable. Would give 0/5 but place was semi clean

Fantastic place! Clean and friendly. I adopted one of my Guinea pigs here.

Clean facility and great staff with rooms to meet the animals in private. They let you spend as much time as youd like and answer as many questions as possible. Didnt find a match the day I went, but would certainly go back.

Just wanted to express my thanks to the staff, their kind words, their willing ness to let me grieve about our beloved pet. You are good people.

They don’t know how to respond back to people who are interested in adopting

This place has hundreds of volunteers that work to make this a great place. It is well run and animals are well taken care of. Its a great place to come and adopt a cat, dog, or exotic animal, or to ask advice on living with animals in the bay area.

Went in tp see the kitties. It is modern, clean, quiet and has a friendly professional. staff The perfect place to adsopt your pet.

Great place if you want to adopt animals, spay & neuter service, training, etc. it is very clean for the animals and the public.

We go here often just to see the animals. Its so well kept and and a very warm snd friendly place. We ended up adopting two adorable guineas on our last visit.

A great place to find a furry little friend to bring home. The staff is great the animals are well cared for and loved. If you have the means and ways please adopt.

Absolutely love PHS, the staff is usually welcoming and does their best to make your pet feel comforted, except on this visit.I went to have them microchip ID my pup. The only thing they asked was if she had a problem getting shots (jerkin away, try to bite, etc.) I said no and they said OK well be right back. I thought I would at least get to go with her (my dog). Especially, when they took her and basically had to drag her as she didnt want to leave me. When I asked the new trainee, if I could go back with her, She said she didnt know. (I get that you are new, but at least go ask the other 2 staff who took her.)I realize the injection is different from a vaccination but when they give those they ask if you would like to hold your dog or should they.This is the reason I gave only 3 stars. I want to give more because I support them whole heartedly. I may edit after my next visit to their furchandise store.

This place is luxurious. Sometimes a single cat gets a huge room! Seems theres more people lining up to adopt - long wait just to touch a cat, and there arent many cats available. Meanwhile down south a few miles in redwood city, theres a humble even miserable place called 9 Lives Foundation, literally hundreds of healthy kittens and cats are jammed packed in small cages waiting for new homes.

Beautifully designed building, individual customized rooms for each dog, indoor play area, gift shop, etc. Upstairs has more exotic animals

Great people. Amazing animals. You cant go wrong.

Send them a donation. They do good work.

Love you guys THANK YOU VERY MUCH for my baby.....PIEPIE!!!!

We adapted Russell, our CHILD (a 6 years old Parson Russell Terrier) more than 2years ago. Since then I/we go in on regular bases to buy his food & treats.Every time I go there, I visit all the CHILDREN and I wish I could adop all of them.But I know I can’t do it! However, I’m happy and very comfortated that I know the CHIDREN are safe, we’ll keep, well feed & the TEAM over there have nothing but love for the CHIDREN.Thank you for doing such a great job. If it wasn’t for you, I/we would have never had Russell with us.

This is a very nice facility with helpful staff and well-cared for animals. Visitors are welcome to explore all of the different rooms and there is a childrens area on the second floor. Lots of volunteer opportunities.

Such a wonderful place and organization. They truly care about the animals here.

Clean and caring shelter for deserving dogs and cats ready for adoption. I have the honor to volunteer at this place.

Adopted 3 cats here in the past 13 years. All the people are wonderful and all animals so well cared for. Highly recommended!

Caring, awesome staff & humane facilities for the pups and kitties.

Facility much bigger than expected, lots of cats to adopt. Staff can be seen playing with the cats, so they are all well socialized.

A terrible system. Last night a bad neighbor stole our pet from within the range of our home and sent it to this shelter. After spending the whole night searching neighborhoods, next day morning found a lost pet note posted from this thief trying to appear as a caring individual. And the shelter called us after identifying the chip in the pet and the owner. We went and paid $56 after they gave him 2 unnecessary shots without asking us and having him a full night. This is a horrible place. Terrible system supporting pet thieves.

We are so happy to adopt our new puppy here first time !!!!! The local super clean the staff super friendly update everything for our new member you guys are awesome Thank youShe is a super smart puppy with the best actitud. We love her a lot high recommended if you looking for shelter this is the place...

We got our kitty from here. Great staff

Rescue your next pet. You dont need a pure breed to have an amazing best friend.

Not enough staff to help with adoptions I had to walk out after an hour of wait

People were very nice, the girl who helped us was reluctant to let me hold rainbow and i really wanted to to let rainbow know i was going to adopt her

Please adopt from here. Nice facility with plenty of adoptable pets, all kinds of adoptable pets here. They even have a store that helps raises funds for the SPCA.
