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!
Springer Bounces into Your Heart!
Helen Woodward Animal Center Pet-of-the-Week for April 16, 2018
If you’re looking for lots of bounce per ounce in your new pup, then Springer is your guy! He’s a 35lb, 6-month old Dalmatian blend with a Dalmatian’s characteristic goofy personality. He’s the kind of pup who will want to play hard for about 20 minutes, then lay next to you for an hour-long nap. As a young pup, he still has some growing to do and will likely be 50-75lbs full-grown. Come meet him today and see if he has a spot in your heart…
Springer is waiting to meet you at Helen Woodward Animal Center. His adoption fee is $321. He has been altered and is up-to-date on all of his vaccinations. As with all petsadopted from Helen Woodward Animal Center, he is micro-chipped for identification.
Helen Woodward Animal Center is located at 6461 El Apajo Road in Rancho Santa Fe. Kennels are open daily Monday through Friday from 1pm to 6pm; Saturdays 10am to6pm; and Sunday 11am to 6pm (last application accepted 15 minutes before closing). For more information call 858-756-4117, option #1.
