My story

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

Hi, my name is Chikis! I came to the SPCA because my owner could no longer care for me. Not only am I a bit older, I am a lot wiser! I am looking for a home where my quiet attitude and worldly wisdom will be appreciated and adored. Since I am unable to hold a toothbrush or floss my teeth, I have some dental issues. The nice folks at the SPCA have helped me with dental work, but I will likely need more in the future. There's also a bit more of me to love as you can see! The kind folks at the SPCA have me on a diet and exercise plan that they would be happy to share with you. Please give me a chance and I'll show you how fit and perfect I'll be with just a little more work. I'm currently available for adoption behind the scenes, but if you're interested in getting to know me please speak with our customer care team.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Four simple steps to adopt a pet
1. Visit the SPCA at 1002 Monterey-Salinas Highway across from WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. Visit with the pet you are interested in adopting to see if his personality fits your lifestyle.
2. If you are adopting a new dog and already have one at home, you will need to introduce them at the SPCA to ensure a good match. When adopting, please bring your current dog with you. Our animal care staff will assist you with introducing your current dog to the dog you are hoping to adopt. We also prefer when possible that all family members living in the home meet any new pet before adopting.
3. The SPCA adoption process takes approximately 20-30 minutes to complete. All paperwork, vaccination records, and microchip information will be provided at this time.
4. Take your new lifelong family member home!

We understand that sometimes potential adopters are at work or school, coming from long distances, or need time to gather pets and family together to meet their potential new adoptee. Because of this, the SPCA offers a 24 hour hold on adoptable pets.
Holds cost $30 for a 24 hour period.
