Help us Clear the Shelters!
This August we are once again partnering with NBC Bay Area and Telemundo 48 to Clear the Shelters! This nationwide initiative is a month-long pet adoption and donation campaign that helps animals in need find loving homes. Our goal this month: help find 150 animals new homes, and raise $25,000 to support more animals and families in our community. We hope you’ll join us to help Clear the Shelters!
Free Adoption Days!
Dates: Friday, August 22 - Sunday, August 24
Adult dogs and cats: Waived fees!

Pet of the week: Hot Pocket
Hi, I’m Hot Pocket, the cutest little kitten ready to melt your heart. I’m 17 weeks old and was found as a stray before being rescued by Pets In Need. I might seem a little shy at first, but once I warm up, I’m basically a purring microwave on high. My specialties include head tilts, gentle cuddles, and being ridiculously adorable. Looking for a pocket-sized buddy who’s always hot on love? That’s me! Come visit Pets In Need all week for Clear the Shelters!
New! After-Hours Emergency Help
Pets In Need now offers after-hours emergency support through VetTriage, a trusted telehealth service staffed by licensed veterinarians. You can connect via live video to assess your pet’s condition, receive home care guidance, or be directed to the nearest emergency hospital if needed.
Affordable Care for Your Pets
Pets In Need offers affordable clinic options to keep your pets healthy. Our Community Veterinary Clinic provides affordable, high-quality preventative care, including wellness exams, vaccinations, flea and tick prevention, microchipping, deworming, basic diagnostic testing, and pet health advice. Our Low-Cost Vaccine Clinic offers walk-in vaccinations and flea prevention available every Wednesday, 9:30 AM - 11:30 AM, at our Palo Alto shelter.
What we do
As a 501(c) 3 non-profit animal shelter, we transfer in dogs and cats from public shelters where they are in danger of being euthanized due to space or financial limitations. We then provide them with the best possible care and enrichment until we can help them find their forever homes.
Get Involved
As a non-profit organization, everything we do is made possible through donations of funds, supplies, and time from members of the community. There are many ways to support Pets In Need, including fostering, volunteering and donating cash or in-kind gifts that help us carry out our life-saving mission.
Volunteer your time
We are constantly in search of animal lovers to join our volunteer team and help socialize, exercise, and train our dogs and cats.
Make a Donation
Gifts from the general public are our lifeblood. They allow us to provide our animals with essential care. We are totally supported by private gifts, adoption, and program fees.
