Peninsula Humane: Remi up for adoption

Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA is trying to place Remi, a 7-year-old Catahoula leopard dog and pit bull mix, through its current Pet of the Week feature. (adoptapet.com) Remi is listed in Burlingame as a spayed female senior dog with a $75 adoption fee through the Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA. Her shelter listing says she is black with white markings and identifies her as Pet ID A968119. (adoptapet.com) The shelter is based at 1450 Rollins Road in Burlingame and handles adoptions through its Lantos Center for Compassion. Peninsula Humane says dog adoptions can be completed the same day after a meet-and-greet with an adoption counselor. (phs-spca.org) Potential adopters are asked to fill out an Adoption Profile, and the shelter says it uses that conversation to match a dog with a household’s experience, schedule and housing situation. Peninsula Humane also recommends bringing everyone in the home, including current dogs, when meeting a potential new dog. (phs-spca.org) Peninsula Humane describes itself as an open-door shelter, meaning it accepts animals in need of care rather than limiting intake to the easiest cases to place. The organization says cats, dogs and rabbits adopted from the shelter are vaccinated, spayed or neutered, and microchipped. (phs-spca.org; adoptapet.com) The group says it places thousands of animals into new homes each year and has served as San Mateo County’s animal rescue and control provider. In its shelter profile, Peninsula Humane says it has adopted 100% of healthy, adoptable dogs and cats since 2003 under its stated definition of “healthy.” (phs-spca.org; adoptapet.com) For people interested in Remi, the shelter says walk-in adoptions are first come, first served, while appointments for dogs can also be arranged by submitting an Adoption Profile by email. The process ends where this one starts: an in-person visit to see whether Remi fits the home waiting for her. (phs-spca.org)
