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!

“Mikey” Makes the World a Sweeter Place
Helen Woodward Animal Center Pet-of-the-Week for June 19, 2017
Mikey just wants to make your life a little sweeter. He’s very enthusiastic about enjoying life’s little moments like; basking in the sun, enjoying snacks, and giving kisses. He’s a Chihuahua blend and at just over one year old and 16lbs, he’s fully grown with heaps of puppy charm. Mikey can’t wait to expand his heart and his horizons with his forever family.
Mikey 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 $279. 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.
