He's as big as a bear but much friendlier! Bear is a Sable Leonberger and Akita mix who is in desperate need of a temporary, or even better - a permanent home! Leonberger's are known for traits such as companionship, loyalty, confidence and intelligence.

Bear's people surrendered him to the San Jose shelter when they were forced to move. Their new location does not allow large dogs. That was bad news for Bear. 

He lived with children, a cat and a Chihuahua. This 100+ lb lug would wait for the little Chihuahua to finish his dinner before Bear would eat his.

Please help us save this big boy and get him out of the shelter before it is too late. 

If you are interested in fostering Bear, please fill out our foster application here: http://www.sjanimaladvocates.org/sjaa-foster-application.html. If you have questions about Bear, please email us at [email protected].

UPDATE: 6/27/13 - Seamus is no longer sad. He found a wonderful, loving and caring 'foster to adopt' home last night and is settling into his new life.

Volunteers at the San Jose Animal Care Center are concerned about Sweet Seamus A839817. 

This gorgeous, friendly tabby boy is not faring well in the scary shelter environment. He is becoming depressed and stressed. He is not eating and not drinking.

Seamus ended up at the shelter when his person lost their home. He's about four years old and declawed; therefore must be kept as an indoor cat. 

Please adopt Seamus today before his fate becomes more dire. You can meet him at 2750 Monterey Road in San Jose.

This senior girl, estimated age of 14, ended up in the shelter due to neglect by her owners.  Lady has some arthritis (although she is being given meds and gets along fine), a flea allergy, and is in desperate need of a bath and grooming.  Nevertheless, her tail wagged as she was taken out of her kennel at the shelter.  She enjoyed standing in the sun, even for a few moments.

UPDATE: 6/21/13 - We are doing a little happy dance. Sweet Bailey was rescued today! Updates to follow soon.

This sweet older girl needs a temporary home immediately. 

For thirteen years she lived with her family peacefully... until the baby came and then Bailey was abandoned at the San Jose shelter.

Bailey is scared in the shelter environment so her pictures do not reflect her true personality. She is a typical Siamese; therefore, chatty but not overly so, AND she loves being petted.

At 13 years old, this gorgeous girl deserves a safe and loving home with people who will dote on her. Can you provide that? Please email us ASAP if you can help this sweetheart at: [email protected]

UPDATE - 6/12/13 We are delighted to report that Manny was rescued! He will be available for adoption soon. 

This large, friendly tabby boy needs a foster home today! His time in the San Jose shelter is almost up.

Manny is a 'man made Manx' - his tail had an infected wound and needed to be amputated. It has healed up and now he needs a home immediately. 

If you can provide a temporary or permanent home for this young sweet cat, please email us NOW at [email protected] as Manny needs to be rescued immediately. 

Please help us save this beautiful boy!
