Find Your Paw-fect Match!

Looking to add a furry (or feathered!) friend to your family? Join us for the Paw-fect Match Adoption Pop-Up Event on Sunday, August 23, from 1-3pm on B Street (at 1st Ave). Presented by the Downtown San Mateo Association and the Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA, this is a great chance to meet potential pets, ask questions, and submit an adoption application.

Note: Animals will not be going home directly from the event, but you can start the application process on-site!

It’s been such an incredible, lively summer in Downtown San Mateo, and our pop-up on July 25th was extra special.

We’ve loved watching Melodic Outreach Endeavor grow over the years performing at Jazz on B, and this set was their final performance with us before heading off to college!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to show love and support. Best of luck on your next chapter, guys!
