The mission of Pets in Need is to provide animals with loving care and lasting homes, to partner with communities striving to do the same, and to advance their no-kill legacy.
Pets in Need accomplishes this mission by transferring cats and dogs to their facilities from public shelters in the Bay Area and beyond when they are in danger of being euthanized due to space or financial limitations.
Pets In Need has shelters in Redwood City and Palo Alto. They have owned and operated the Redwood City shelter since 1993, and in 2019 they began operating the Palo Alto Animal Shelter in partnership with the City of Palo Alto.
