Longtime Peninsula Shelter Animals Find Homes For Thanksgiving

BURLINGAME, CA — A cat, a dog and a rabbit who'd each spent months at a Peninsula animal shelter have all been adopted just in time for Thanksgiving, the Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA said Friday.

The lucky adoptees are an 11-year-old Pit Bull mix named Betty, who spent 11 months at the shelter; a three-year-old cat named Stormy, who'd waited 592 days; and an adult rabbit, Samuel, who waited 564 days before being adopted.

All three will be living with families in the Bay Area, the PHS/SPCA said.

“We are so delighted Stormy, Betty and Samuel have been adopted after such a long time waiting at our shelter,” PHS/SPCA Communications Manager Buffy Martin Tarbox said in a statement. "It’s so heartwarming to know these animals will be not only enjoying the holidays with their new families, but are now in loving homes where they will want for nothing."
