★★★★☆ 4.0 Macie Chapin · Dec 2025

I adopted my dog here nearly a year ago, and i couldn’t be more grateful. She has been such a well behaved dog, and truly the most loving dog i’ve ever come across. The adoption process was so easy, they even let us foster to adopt so we had time for her to meet our cat in case things didn’t work out, thankfully they did and we adopted her for 20$. My only complaint is the lack of medical history. Our dog lost her eye a year/ two years ago according to them and they weren’t sure on the time frame which was weird to me. Other than that, i highly recommend.

A few days ago I took in my neighbors ILLEGAL ROOSTER which came into my backyard because he doesn't keep his HUNDREDS OF CHICKENS and MULTIPLE ROOSTERS in cages. A few weeks before that I took in a chicken. They squawk and crow all damn day! I live in downtown not in the country!They literally come over my fence and walk on my roof and stink up the air, I cannot even breathe in peace. I get thousands of flies in my front and backyard. It's a living hell and my quality of life is non-existent. Animal Control does NOTHING about this hell hole of a neighbor. I have been calling them for YEARS and for years they've done nothing. And there's an extremely rude lady that answers the phone, she interups you and doesn't let you finish a sentence. She gets off on making you feel like crap and like

Love coming here to see the dogs and the cats can be really sad at times but knowing that they're not out in the street suffering, I like the way that they donate stuff as well always comes in handy. Anything that they donate recommend this place to adopt or visit.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Ym Ch · Jan 2025

I have a mixed feeling about this place. I got my first cat here, and she’s probably my last cat. The adoption was easy and quick. But they didn’t really tell you the current health conditions of the animal. However they do have a medical history record on each animal that they’ll give when you bring your pet home. I should’ve asked and checked it before agreeing to adopt. Long story short, my cat was very sick in guts. That kind of sickness is not what you can tell from the outside physically. I’ve done my best for the past two months and she was getting worse. I was so frustrated and stressed and also struggling with what to do as being a first time cat parent. They made it look like impossible to return the animal. At some point I finally decided to send her back for my mental sanity. T

I didn't think it was true ....but it seems to be... that if the employees have a liking to your dog they won't return them ... . Not even with a court order from a judge to release two cane Corso s -Bella and Ice. The two officers and supervisor even asked the judge to revoke the release of the dogs to a third party .. which is me. The judge denied their request. AND THEY STILL NEVER RELEASED THE DOGS TO ME!. The DA is the attorneys of San Jose Animal Care Center off Monterey Rd in San Jose. I guess that gives them the mentality that they can do as they please. Furthermore , this agency receives 17.1 million tax dollars a year. And feel they know what's best for your dogs over a judges order. Moreover, they will refuse the court order that is in Your hand signed by a the judge. Further
