Adopting A Friend
OUR FEATURED PET - Crystal
My name is Crystal, and I am a very dainty white and black Smooth-coated Chihuahua/Jack Russell terrier-mix. Not to toot my own horn, but my Shelter staff say I am very sweet, happy, and quiet in my kennel. I get along with the other small dogs at our Shelter, but I do like to be in charge, so I would probably do best as the only dog in my new home. That way, I can hog all the love and attention you have to give! I don't seem to mind the cats that share our Shelter, so with proper introduction, I can probably live with felines. I do like sniffing their food, though, so I might snitch a morsel or two when they aren't looking. And even if they don't want to share theirs, you can give me my own doggie treats because I really like those. Yum!!
My Shelter staff think I'm about eight-years-old, but I'm very active for my age, and so have many years left to share with you. I love attention, and as you can see, I am happy to settle-in on your lap for some serious cuddling if you let me, which I hope you will.
I am looking for a new forever family to adopt me, keep me safe, and lavish me with lots of love. In return, I will be a dedicated, loyal companion. And guess what! A very kindhearted person already paid my adoption fee, so there's no cost to you to take me home. I am already spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, so I'm ready to go home with you today, and can be snuggling with you tonight!
Please contact my Shelter staff at (408) 686-3900 to learn more about me or ask them any questions you have. Our Shelter is open Mon-Fri, noon - 6:00 PM, and Sat-Sun, noon - 5:00 PM. Please come to our Shelter to meet me and spend some time so we can get to know each other. We could be a perfect match! I am at the San Martin Animal Shelter, and am eagerly awaiting for your arrival. Please don't be late!

FOSMAS has many wonderful cats and dogs that have found themselves in need of loving homes and a safe environment. These wonderful animals require food, shelter, safety, and a little love and attention. In return, you will have a loyal, loving companion for their lifetime. All pets have been altered, tested for disease, vaccinated, and microchipped. Please consider adopting from our or another shelter, and providing a loving home and family life for an animal-in-need.
Who We Are
WHO WE ARE
The San Martin Animal Shelter is part of Santa Clara County Animal Control. The Friends of San Martin Animal Shelter (FOSMAS) was formed in 2002 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to increasing adoptions at our Shelter.
MISSION STATEMENT
FOSMAS is an animal welfare organization dedicated to providing care and comfort to the animals at the San Martin Animal Shelter. Our primary objectives are to increase adoptions at our County Shelter, lower the County Shelter's euthanasia rate, provide foster and emergency medical care to animals-in-need, and to promote respect for companion animals through our education and outreach programs. FOSMAS is an IRS-registered, publicly-supported 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
ADOPTING A FRIEND
Companion animals can be adopted at our Shelter, the FOSMAS adoption center located in the PetsMart-Milpitas store, adoption fairs held weekly throughout Santa Clara County, or from our foster homes.
