My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello everyone, my name is Rocky! I'm a 4 and a half year old, 87 lbs., neutered male Pitbull/Staffordshire Terrier mix. I'm a happy, energetic boy who enjoys running zoomies in the yard. I'm the best of both worlds and know how to chill and hang out with my favorite person while we watch the world go by. I am working on my manners and will need my new family's help to become a perfect pup. I would do best with kids 6+ and would love to meet the whole family and of course any resident dog before going home.

I got to spend some time away from the shelter recently and this is what my foster family had to stay about me:

'Rocky is a loving cuddle bug. He loves to spend time lounging and snuggling and is very sweet and playful. He is a very gentle respectful dog, he listens when told “no” and can be redirected to a toy easily if he picks up something. He’s a great companion who wants to stay by your side. He’s easy to love and wants to please. We found it easy to get his energy out with 2-3 walks a day. He is perfect for a homebody who can give him the love and cuddles he so much deserves! He is also fully potty trained, a major plus! Overall, he is one of the sweetest dogs we’ve met.'

I recently went on a hike with my favorite volunteer. This is what they had to say about our day together:

'I took Rocky on the hike today. He had a great time in the yard and loves fetching. He was great in the car. He really enjoyed himself on the hike. No issues with dogs. He did pull quite a bit. He was so happy to be out and about! He thanked me with lots of kisses and drool all over my car :-)'

Unless otherwise indicated, adoptable animals are located at our Lantos Center for Compassion at 1450 Rollins Road, Burlingame, CA 94010.

You may call us at 650-340-7022 to schedule an appointment, or just drop by. Drop-In hours for Same Day Adoptions are 11 am – 5 pm, 7 days a week (closed major holidays).

We do our best to update our listings regularly, but we can’t guarantee every animal you see is still available. It’s also typical for us to have animals who haven’t had their photos taken yet, so you are welcome to visit our adoption center and have a look around!

To check on an animal's adoption status, please call 650-340-7022 during normal business hours to speak with an adoption counselor. Emails will be returned as soon as possible, but please allow up to 48 hours during busy adoption periods like weekends.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

When a potential adopter comes into the shelter and sees an animal he or she is interested in adopting, we ask the potential adopter to first complete an Adoption Profile. Then, one of our knowledgeable customer service representatives brings the adopter and animal together in one of our Get Acquainted Rooms. There they have a quiet, private space to get to know each other better. During the visit, the customer service representative may discuss the following:

- past experiences with animals and current animals in the home
- lifestyle, including work schedule and the kinds of activities they plan to do with their companion animal
- housing situation - own or rent, size of yard, etc
.
In order to make the best match possible for a family and home, we suggest potential adopters bring along all members of the household to meet the new companion animal and bring their current dog(s) to meet a potential dog. Adopters must also be 18 or older. Again, thank you for thinking of PHS/SPCA. We hope you find the companion animal you are looking for.

PHS/SPCA reserves the right to deny adoptions. Our priorities are the health, safety and future well-being of the animals in our care and the health, safety and expectations of people who visit us with hopes of finding a pet who will match their interests, lifestyle and existing companion animal(s).

More about this shelter

PHS/SPCA, a private non-profit guided by the humane ethic, builds healthy relationships between people and animals. As an ethical choice, we accept all animals in need of care and often provide a second chance to the neediest animals: those who would otherwise be turned away at so-called “no kill” agencies that accept only highly adoptable animals. We also serve as our County’s provider of animal rescue and control services and, as such, have no control over the number of incoming animals. Our record is outstanding. Since 2003, we have adopted 100% of healthy, adoptable dogs and cats. Our definition of “healthy” is based on the State’s definition: dogs and cats without medical or behavioral issues, those that are fully weaned and social. It excludes obviously unhealthy animals (those with injuries and illnesses or those behaviorally scarred from past treatment and mistreatment) as well as unweaned kittens and feral cats. Still, donations to our Hope Program allow us to make well, then place into new homes approx. 170 animals every month. In February 2008, the Society celebrated accreditation by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) following a comprehensive review of the shelter’s veterinary program. Community education and outreach, partnerships, and a dedicated volunteer group greatly extend our mission and work. Read more at www.PHS-SPCA.org.
