Best friends to all animals in need. I love this place. One of the few that truly care for our animal friends.

This placed used to be the best place ever!! I used to volunteer there as a kid and even adopted my dog from there! It was such a special place. But they remodeled and it's much bigger and different. But I also noticed a bit of a change in atmosphere. Whoever runs the place isn't very warm.. I didn't feel welcome by the other people who worked there pretty much every time I've gone in. They are either snarky, force you to sign in like they are the police or something and they won't even let you pet or play with he poor animals locked in glass cages. Hope that they can find more kind helpers and better policies who have good Human customer service as well. They also make it impossible to play with the animals since I have tried multiple times to get on their volunteer list but it's always too full. Feels like you need to be in some kind of elitest "club" in order to just offer some help to the animals. Basically make it hard for good warm hearted helper and volunteers to even get a shot. Doesn't seem right or fair.. maybe you can have some other events with the pups so they can get walks and outings more often and have more volunteer opportunities for those who are interested.

They are amazing! The place is clean and neat. You can really tell they love what they’re doing and they care for all their animals. I adopted a kitty two months ago. It was a great experience. They asked me some questions to make sure the kitty would be going to an appropriate environment and gave me some time to play with and establish the bound. The kitty came with a the shots, already neutered, microchipped, and they also gave me a huge bag of food! Strongly recommended.

I love Pets in Need because they love (unconditionally) and believe in saving animals. I have been fortunate enough to work with them as an adoptee. They are compassionate, affectionate, professional and knowledgeable. And they had my forever baby...thanks so much Pets in Need and a special thanks to those who financially support this amazing organization. ❤

Hey is there anyway I can go to just play with puppies or kittens

Cynthia Ponce | Aug 23, 2019
Paula Allen | Aug 23, 2019

Yes! Become a volunteer (6 month commitment). You'll spend about 2 hours in training, and then get right to cuddling kitties or walking dogs. I'm a volunteer myself and love it!

my dog needs surgery.is their way that i can get help paying paying for it?

mary chappo | Aug 23, 2019
jesse garcia | Aug 23, 2019

If you have a disabled person in your family. They can take them to any SPCA and can work out a payment plan. Or maybe a GO FUND ME ACCOUNT. Where animal lovers can directly donate money to the veterinarian who will be doing the surgery. I hope this helps. Much love. ♡

Do you have shibainu puppy?

Urania Oliva | Aug 23, 2018
Christos Volikakis | Aug 23, 2018

I’m not sure if this helps but Adopting an animal, cat or dog, regardless of breed saves an animal’s life, frees up room in the pet sanctuary, And discourages people from illegally breeding animals for money when there are so many around the world that are euthanized because they have no homes. Please Consider adopting non-specific breeds as they are all wonderful. Thanks for listening to my two cents and good luck finding your pet!

Are you open to walking in and adopting? Or is it virtual only?

Madison Chew | Aug 22, 2021
Pets In Need Redwood City | Aug 22, 2021

Adoptions can be done completely virtually or in-person by appointment. If you would like to take the in-person route, please fill out an adoption application for the animal you're interested and indicate you would like an in-person meet-and-greet. After our adoption specialists review your application, they will contact you to set up an appointment. At this time, we are not conducting any walk-in visits without appointment.

Yes, we do take pet food donations. To minimize possible virus transmission, we are asking members of the community to leave any food and supply donations right outside of our shelter entrances. Donations can be dropped off anytime during business hours. Our hours can be found at www.petsinneed.org/contact-us After you drop off the donation, our staff will bring the items into our shelter.

Do you guys put big dogs up for adoption like German Shepherd, pitbulls,etc?

Daniel Diaz | Aug 23, 2018
Laura Oliver | Aug 23, 2018

I know they usually have smaller dogs, but I know they have some medium. I would check the website for available dogs or call in.

Where can i get my cat spaided for free

Dennis Hurd | Aug 23, 2018
Ro Carbone | Aug 23, 2018

I have a pet cat that I can't keep. Can I drop it off

Robert | Aug 23, 2018
Ro Carbone | Aug 23, 2018

I believe the Pets In Need policy is to not take animals from the public. You would need to try 9Lives Foundation in Redwood City or Companions in Waiting in Half Moon Bay. Good luck to you!
