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!
Magical Uni-cat Discovered at Helen Woodward Animal Center!
Helen Woodward Animal Center Pet-of-the-Week for October 16, 2017
Daffodil is truly a magical creature- even without her festive unicorn cat-stume! Meet her and you’ll immediately notice her sparkling personality, her charming chatter, her infectious affection… and her over-sized paws! She’s not a freak, she’s a polydactyl cat. She’s purr-fectly healthy with extra toes to kneed the perfect spot on your lap. She’s two-and-a-half-years old, weighs ten pounds, and is looking for an extra-ordinary human to make magic with.
Daffodil is waiting to meet you at Helen Woodward Animal Center. She has been altered and is up-to-date on all of her vaccinations. As with all pets adopted from Helen Woodward Animal Center, she 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 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.

It’s Kitty BOGO!
Did you know TWO cats or kittens are better than one? In fact, it’s so important that our felines grow up with a best feline friend that when you adopt two, we WAIVE the adoption fee of one. It’s Kitty BOGO!
Kitten season is in full swing, so we have kitties both big and itty bitty clamoring to meet you. What are you waiting for?
SPAY. . . DON’T LITTER
Helen Woodward Animal Center offers a “Spay…Don’t Litter” program for people looking to surrender litters of puppies or kittens. The Center will cover the cost of having the mother spayed at a participating veterinarian.
