Castro Valley Adoptable Pets: Meet Bow, A117358, Button & More
Do you want to add to your family and give back to the Castro Valley community at the same time? Consider adopting a pet from a local shelter. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, shelters have dogs, cats and other animals ready and waiting to be adopted.
For those looking to adopt, a great place to begin the search for an adorable new companion is at Hayward Animal Services Bureau, where Button the guinea pig is waiting patiently, or another local facility. 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 in appropriate homes.
Need some help in your search? Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We create a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. Whether you're a dog or cat person, there are several great options available. Click on any listing for more information, or to start the adoption process.
