Did
you know you can find a wonderful animal in need
of a loving home without visiting a shelter?
San Diego based rescue groups across the county
hold regular adoption events. Some rescue groups
specialize in certain breeds of animals, while
some have a great variety of different pets for
adoption. See below for a list of regular adoption
events. If you don't see what you are looking
for, click here for
a list of San Diego rescue groups, and give them
a call to see if they are planning an adoption
event anytime soon!
There are also several permanent rescue group pet adoption
sites located in pet supply stores around San Diego. Click
