Adopt a pet today and provide a shelter animal with a second chance at love. Joybound’s intake & admissions team makes multiple trips every week to partner shelters across California, so available animals are updated daily. For information on what to expect, learn more about our adoption process.
Looking for an assistance or support animal? Through Joybound’s Shelter to Service program, you can be matched with an emotional support animal, a psychiatric service dog, a facility animal, and much more!

Spotlight Pet
Every week, we like to select a very special adoptable animal to name as that week’s “Petfinder Spotlight Pet.” Oftentimes these are dogs and cats who have been looking for homes for longer than the rest of our shelter guests, and could use some extra love. If their adoption fee has not been sponsored by a donor, the Spotlight Pet’s fee is waived that week!
We’d like to thank our partners at Petfinder and Purina for everything they do to make our life-changing work possible.
