FYI on San Mateo SPCA

Despite my initial misgiving on the San Mateo SPCA.  They really do well by their animals.  Sure the shelter is the latest and greatest.  But they take in dog that the "no kill" shelters won't.  Also despite being in theory a "kill shelter" they haven't put down a dog in years.  I recently read they adopted out Barb the pitbull in their newsletter.  Nothing online, but there is an old post about her here.  If you are in the bay area it's worth a look.  They have quite a selection of dogs.  Just be aware they will happily show dogs like Indy who other shelter might not take and certainly would keep out of sight.
