Pet Adoptions

Thank you to everyone who welcomed a Joybound shelter guest into their heart and home. Adopters are invited to stay involved through events, programs, and more! They are also encouraged to share updates about their pet via our online upload portal.

New pet guardians can find helpful resources in our Pet Care and Behavior Library. Dog adopters are invited to sign up for training classes or grooming appointments (adoption includes a discount for both). And finally, it’s never too soon for pet guardians to plan for their pet’s future.

pet adoptions since our founding in 1991

Open your heart and home to a new best friend this holiday season! Adult dog and cat adoptions are half-off every weekend between November 29 – January 4*. Our team will help you find the perfect match — so you can start the new year with love, laughter, and wagging tails. Joybound’s intake & admissions team makes multiple trips every week to partner shelters across the state of California, so available animals are updated daily. For information on what to expect, learn more about our adoption process.

*Some exclusions may apply. Standard adoption criteria applies. Does not include ESA adoptions.
