Shelter & Adoption Center

Pets Unlimited finds and rescues as many injured and neglected pets as possible, providing them quality medical treatment and finding them loving homes no matter how long it takes.

Every year, thousands of cats and dogs end up in local shelters across the Bay Area.  Sadly, if these pets aren’t claimed or adopted quickly, their futures become uncertain. Some animals are euthanized because of illness or injury. Others are lost because their owners can’t afford medical care when needed. Even more pets are simply unlucky – the perfect family ready to welcome a new pet into their lives didn’t pick that week to come into the shelter.

That’s where Pets Unlimited comes in. We make weekly rescue trips to shelters in the Bay Area and surrounding counties to save these pets from a hopeless future. Many of our animals are adopted into loving families mere days or weeks after being admitted to our shelter. Others take months – and some of our dog and cat residents have been with us more than a year before finding a permanent home.

Take a look at the cats and dogs in our Adoption Center, and find out how you can become a foster parent or adoptive family.
