We have incredible news! The animals we set out to rescue earlier this month are finally safe and settling in with us. After facing so much uncertainty, they now have food, shelter, and people who care about them. Their journey isn’t over yet, but for now, they’re safe and loved, and that’s what matters most. Thank you for making this rescue possible. We couldn’t have done this without your help.

@Bronwyn If they went to the #SPCA adoption center on Florida at 16th St, that's technically in the #MissionDistrict not on #PotreroHill, but the distinction would only matter to a "local." 😉

Back in my day, the heart of Potrero Hill was considered to be located at the top of the hill on Wisconsin between 23rd & 25th where the housing project & the rec center are located & I don't think that has changed.

It was a VERY dangerous place back then & I doubt that it's much better now.
