Unconditional Love

In San Francisco there are many places to consider when thinking about acquiring a dog. For instance, you can purchase a dog from a breeder, a pet store, or adopt one from a shelter. When deciding to make a dog part of your life it is important to consider the many options available. Adopting a dog is the best option because it means you are providing a home to an unwanted animal and ultimately saving it's life. There is no better place to adopt a dog then at Pets Unlimited, located at 2343 Fillmore Street @ Washington.

Pets Unlimited was founded in 1947 out of concern for the stray animals that roamed the streets of San Francisco. Over the years Pets Unlimited has been instrumental in saving the lives of 250,000 animals and has grown to include an adoption facility, a 24-hour emergency hospital, extended shelter services, foster family program, and community education programs. The mission of Pets Unlimited according to their website is, "to find and rescue as many injured and neglected pets as possible, providing quality medical treatment and find them loving homes no matter how long it takes." Some of the pets in the adoption facility have been there for over a year and they continue to treat them the same as any other animal.

If you are contemplating making a dog part of your family consider choosing one from Pets Unlimited. Currently they have eight dogs waiting for good homes and any of them would make a great companion.

To the right is a photo of Oakley, an eight year old male Cocker Spaniel. He was rescued from the Fremont Animal Shelter and brought to Pets Unlimited to be given a second chance. If Oakley had not been rescued, he would no longer be on this earth. If you would like to adopt Oakley or play with any of his friends go to Pets Unlimited on Fillmore Street. The adoption center is located upstairs. You never know what four-legged friend you may find.
