Penelope's Story

Penelope is an absolute sweetheart who lights up when she's around her favorite people! She adores treats (especially if you tell her what a good girl she is while handing them over) and will happily show off her best manners in exchange for a tasty reward. Snuggles and gentle pets are high on her list of favorite things, and she leans right in for all the love she can get. Whether she's by your side soaking up attention or curled up close for cozy cuddle time, Penelope is happiest when she's sharing her big heart with her humans.

Mary S. Roberts Pet Adoption Center's Adoption Policy

Upon visiting the Adoption Center, you will immediately be greeted by one of our volunteer receptionists or an Adoption Counselor. If it is your first visit, you will be instructed as to where you can see all of our animals available for adoption. Once you find a pet that you think you would like to adopt, you would locate an Adoption Counselor to help you: 1. Staff will make arrangements for you to visit with the animal. Depending on the size and species of the pet, you may be outside in a play yard or inside in one of our “meet and greet” rooms. 2. Once you have been matched with the perfect pet, one of our Adoption Counselors will make sure you are fully informed about the pet and answer any questions that you may have. 3. The adoption process takes approximately one hour. Adoptions will stop one hour before closing time at 6pm. 4. All of our pets are spayed or neutered, current on vaccinations (including rabies) and microchipped. Puppies 1 year & under $275 Dogs 1 year+ $135 Kittens 1 year & under $150 Cats 1 year+ Name Your Price! Senate Bill No. 245 allows Veterans in California to adopt a pet for free. Beginning January 1, 2020, veterans may show their driver's license or ID card with the “VETERAN” designation on it to Pet Adoption Center personnel and have adoption fees waived. The law limits the free dog and cat adoptions to one every six months. Although the bill waives adoption fees, a microchip fee of $21 still applies. 5. We complete all adoptions digitally, so we can either text a checkout link to your mobile phone or you can complete the process using one of our devices. Checks are not accepted for adoption fees. 6. All cats must leave in a carrier. Carriers can be purchased in our Pet Store. Cats over the age of 1 year must leave with a collar and ID tag. 7. All dogs must leave wearing a collar and leash and ID tag. Adopters may bring their own or they can be purchased in our pet store. All sales from our Pet Store benefit the Adoption Center.
