NEW beginning APRIL 1st, 2024! For nearly 60 years, you’ve known Pets In Need as Northern California’s first no-kill animal shelter, rescuing over 1,300 pets a year. Today, we’re thrilled to announce that we have extended our services to rescuing … plants! Below are all of our available perennial pets. Read their bios to learn more about them and help us find them their loving homes. Plants are pets, too!

Donate $5 and Plant a seed

Looking for a furrier friend?

Make a $5 donation today to help more house pets and you’ll plant a (metaphorical) seed to build happier futures! Plus, you’ll have the option to send a limited-edition Pet Plant E-Card! Help us share the news that Pets In Need is now rescuing Plants In Need.

Plants are great, but they won’t cuddle you back. They’re also harder to train to do tricks, or take with you on all of your adventures. Meet our dogs, cats, bunnies, and guinea pigs who are also looking for loving homes!
