ADOPT A PET – PET & ANIMAL ADOPTIONS

Helen Woodward Adoption Center

Help Animals 

ADOPTIONS is open from 11:00 am until 6:00 pm on MEMORIAL DAY, Monday May 27th!

Welcome to our online animal adoption center. At Helen Woodward Animal Center we have an ever-shifting list of beautiful dogs, puppies, cats and kittens available through our San Diego pet adoption program. Please check our website daily for updates! Helen Woodward animals come from a variety of sources, such as the transfer of animals from public shelters to relieve overcrowding (approximately 90%), as well as owner surrender. Every animal in our pet adoption program has received a medical examination, spay or neuter surgery, vaccinations, tons of TLC (tender loving care) and a microchip. Our goal is to adopt out our animals into loving and permanent homes. Helen Woodward Adoption Counselors are here to help you choose a pet that will be your perfect match for life. If you’re considering animal adoptions, please visit us today!

Feel free to complete an animal adoptions application before you arrive!
