Adorable Adoptable Pets Of The Week At Pacifica Area Shelters

Looking to add a furry friend to your family and give back to the Pacifica community at the same time? Maybe it's time to adopt a pet! Amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, shelters in the Pacifica area have dogs, cats and other animals ready and waiting to be adopted.

There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages and sizes without a home throughout California — many of whom are located near you. In the search for an adorable new friend, consider beginning at a local adoption center like Peninsula Humane Society And Spca, where Odin the dog is waiting patiently. If you aren't sure if you have time to take care of a pet year round, many shelters also offer opportunities to foster pets until they are placed.

Need some help in your search? Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We put together a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. Whether you're a dog person, or if cats are more your thing, there are several great options available. Click on any listing for more information, or to start the adoption process.
