Pets Unlimited was founded in 1947 by a group of citizens who wanted to find homes for dogs at the city pound. It has evolved into a nonprofit organization that offers a variety of free and low-cost pet services like spaying and neutering, 24-hour vet care, grooming, and boarding, in addition to running a shelter.

|
|
|
In 2004, the Adoption Center placed 328 cats and 59 dogs into new homes.
|
|
|
|
They are taken from shelters around the Bay Area.

|
|
For dogs under 7 years old the fee is $125. The rate for senior dogs is $75. The fee includes a microchip, spaying or neutering, vaccines and parasite treatments.

You will be interviewed by an adoption counselor and asked to fill out an application.

|
|
|
Proof that pets are allowed in your home is required, so bring a copy of your lease or mortgage statement. If everything checks out, someone from the shelter will visit you at home to make sure everything is a-ok for a new dog.

|
|
Pets Unlimited is funded by contributions and by the revenue from its veterinary, grooming, and boarding services.
