Benji Needs A Home!

Like the legendary dog hero beloved by a town who was looking for his permanent home, the Peninsula SPCA has their own Benji looking for his permanent home!

Sharing thier fluffy, brown coats, the original Benji was a mutt, but our available Benji is a 2 year 5 month old purebred Lhasa Apso male.

Unlike the original Benji, the Peninsula SPCA's Benji would do best in a permannent home without very small children who would pull on his tail and try to rough house. Since he is a small dog, Benji would get along best with a mature family who knows how to treat him with respect.

Please come visit Benji today!

You Ain't Nothin But A Hound Dog!

Here at the Peninsula SPCA, we've got some wonderful hound dogs! Sadly, they've been unable to follow their noses home, but we're hoping the Peninsula SPCA can do what their noses can't!

Skean is a beautiful purebread beagle. He's only 4 years old and is such a charmer!



Harley is a 5 year old brown and white beagle mix and she has the sweetest, most soulful eyes! Just look at that please-take-me-home-with-you face! How can you resist?



Flicka is a 7 year old purebred hound that is just baying for her forever home! She's so laid back and easy going, she would fit in to any home and make someone a wonderful pet!



Please come visit our hounds today! They've waited long enough for their forever homes, and you have the ability to take them home forever.

The Peninsula SPCA's Blue Dogs

All of the dogs and cats at the Peninsula SPCA are listed according to their breed, age, and color. These colors are normally very typical, like red or black or brown. But have you ever seen our blue dogs?

Ok, so we didn't dye our dog's fur blue, but they're both named Blue!

Blue (top) is an extra large red hound mix with a really fun attitude! He's three years old and such a happy guy that would love to go home with you today.



Blue (bottom) is a one year old labrador retriever who is in need of some love. He's a little on the skinny side with a shiny black coat but he'll be a beautiful animal once he's gained a little weight. He just needs someone to feed him regularly, bring him on walks, and give him treats!


Please come visit Blue and Blue today!

The Furriest of Them All!

Sometimes all you need at the end of the day is a warm furry pet to hold on to! Sleek and short hair can be nice to the touch, but that thick fur you can just sink your hand into for a good belly rub is sometimes just what you need!

Here are some of our furriest canines at the Peninsula SPCA!

Quincy

Quincy is a 4 year old purebred Australian Shepherd. He's got a beautiful thick white and black coat that he loves to have brushed!


Jeezy

Jeezy is a 3 year old male rottweiler that is a big lazy boy! He's perfectly happy laying beside you while you watch TV.


Barney

Barney is a 5.5 year old German Shepherd mix. His favorite activity is to be taken out on a walk, but he's so laid back, he'll be up to anything!

Please come and visit all of our furry friends today at the Peninsula SPCA.
