Adopt a Pet in San Diego
Helen Woodward Animal Center pets come from a variety of sources, such as the transfer of animals from public shelters to relieve overcrowding, working with local dog and cat rescues, 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 and a microchip. Our goal is to adopt out our pets into loving and permanent homes. Helen Woodward Animal Center Adoption Counselors are here to help you choose a pet who will be your perfect match for life. If you’re considering pet adoption, please visit us today!
Meet Our Pet of the Week!
Grumpy Cat Discovers Love!
Helen Woodward Animal Center Pet-of-the-Week for August 21, 2017
Like the Grinch, Chris was once a grumpy guy who didn’t really believe in friends. When he first came to our Center a few months ago, he didn’t like to be touched at all. After lots of patience from our staff and volunteers, however, this reformed feline has discovered that he can’t get enough lovin’! Imagine living thefirst eight years of your life without much affection. This big, friendly, 15lb fur ball has so much to make up for! His heart has grown to three times its size and it’s not showing any signs of slowing.
Chris is waiting to meet you at Helen Woodward Animal Center. He has been altered and is up-to-date on all of his vaccinations. His adoption fee is $82. As with all pets adopted from Helen Woodward Animal Center, he is micro-chipped for identification. As an added bonus, he also comes with two free passes to Sea World.
Helen Woodward Animal Center is located at 6461 El Apajo Road in Rancho Santa Fe. Kennels are open daily Monday through Thursday from 12pm to 6pm; Fridays from noon to 7pm; Saturdays 10am to 6pm; and Sunday 11am to 6pm (last application accepted 15 minutes before closing). For more information call 858-756-4117, option #1.
