Adoptions are completed in person on a first-come, first-served basis. Once you have found an animal you’re interested in, please visit the appropriate campus during adoption hours to speak with an adoption counselor.
Pardon our dust!
We’re renovating the Adoptions Building at our San Diego Campus (5500 Gaines St.). Please read this important update so you know what to expect when visiting us:
Adoptable animals at our San Diego Campus are currently housed at 5480 and 5495 Gaines St. and can be visited Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. All other San Diego Campus services (including admissions, licensing, lost and found, and Community Pet Pantry) will remain available at their usual locations.
- To adopt a pet: If you already know which pet(s) you'd like to meet or adopt, please check in at 5480 Gaines St. when you arrive on campus. An Adoption Counselor will then meet with you on a first-come, first-served basis, introduce you to the pet(s) you're interested in and help complete your adoption. In the meantime, please feel free to browse our adoptable pets!
- You can also see all adoptable animals on our website prior to your visit.
- Visit our other campuses! Our El Cajon, Escondido and Oceanside campuses are not affected by this renovation project.
Thank you for your patience and we hope to see you soon!
