Pet Adoption In The Del Mar-Carmel Valley Area: See New Dogs, Cats & More
Like Tweet Pin it Share Share Email

Looking to add to your family and have a positive impact on the Del Mar-Carmel Valley community at the same time? Then you should consider adopting a dog, cat or other kind of pet from a local shelter or organization. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, many facilities in Del Mar-Carmel Valley and environs are still working to find forever homes for dozens of cats, dogs and other adorable critters coming through.

Across California, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home — many of whom are located within driving distance. In the search for a lovable new fur child, consider beginning at a local facility like A New Life Charitable Foundation Inc, where Jasper 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. If you’re a dog person, meet Mason, a Terrier mix up for adoption. If cats are more your thing, there are several great cats available, too. Click on any listing for more information, or to start the adoption process.
