Adoption Process

To begin the adoption process, please confirm the location of the animal you are interested in. Our adoptable animals are located at our Redwood City shelter, our Palo Alto shelter, and in foster homes. If you have a specific animal in mind, check their profile on our website to determine their location. You can also find our business hours and locations on the website. We encourage you to visit our shelters with all members of your household. If you wish to adopt a dog and already have a resident dog, it is advisable to bring your current dog along as well. While it is not mandatory, completing an adoption application before your visit can help streamline the process. Please remember that all visitors under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult. We look forward to welcoming you soon.

Pets In Need in Redwood City, CA

Our mission is to offer loving care and secure permanent homes for animals, collaborate with communities that share this goal, and further our commitment to a no-kill policy. We achieve our mission by rescuing cats and dogs from public shelters in the Bay Area and surrounding regions when they face the risk of euthanasia due to space or financial constraints. Pets In Need operates shelters in Redwood City and Palo Alto. We have managed our Redwood City shelter since 1993, and in 2019, we began operating the Palo Alto Animal Shelter in collaboration with the City of Palo Alto.
