Woof! Meow! One thing before you go…
Do you need to find a loving home for your pet?
Shelters are often inundated with pet surrenders, and do not want to provide a simple outlet that takes away the obligation of responsible pet ownership. Therefore, they would prefer that people try hard to find a solution before resorting to surrendering their pet to a shelter. If you must find a new home for a pet, please try posting to our adoption portal before placing the burden on the shelter. Direct adoptions work well and allow everyone to share in the accountability of their community!

Our Mission
The Pet Adoption Center of Orange County connects adoptable pets with loving people and the resources they need to be a family for life.
Our Vision
A community that cares so deeply for the welfare of its pets that it finds shelter euthanasia not only unnecessary, but unimaginable.
Adoption Center
» Our contemporary, home-like facility in Lake Forest, California houses small dogs approximately 30 pounds and under.
» We accept dogs from local animal control agencies, animal welfare organizations, and certain owner surrenders, thereby reducing shelter operational stress and overcrowding.
» All dogs in our care receive food, water, shelter, medical attention, and socialization from staff and volunteers in an open, stress-free environment that keeps them happy, healthy, and adoptable.
» We help ensure successful placements and reduce returns by matching dogs with highly compatible people and families.
» All dogs receive mandatory sterilization, up-to-date vaccinations, and an identification microchip.
Placement Services
We provide counseling and placement services to potential adopters, assisting them in selecting a breed or blend whose characteristics are a suitable match for their home and lifestyle, and helping them to locate an adoptable pet through our referral network.
Volunteer Program
We offer volunteer opportunities for adults and students 16-17 (with a parent volunteering, too). Volunteering can help people develop new skills, make friends, build networking connections, and give people a new perspective on life.
Community Education
To support the community, we offer public education courses taught by volunteers and advocates to encourage humane pet care and responsible pet ownership, and we support sterilization programs to reduce pet overpopulation.
