Our Mission The Pet Adoption Center of Orange County connects adoptable pets with loving people and the resources they need to be a family for life. Our Vision A community that cares so deeply for the welfare of its pets that it renders shelter euthanasia not only unnecessary, but unimaginable. Adoption Center » We operate a contemporary, cage-free, adoption-guaranteed facility in Laguna Hills, CA. » We accept pets from local animal control agencies and animal welfare organizations, reducing their operational stress and overcrowding. » All pets in our care receive food, water, shelter, medical attention, and socialization from staff and volunteers in an open, stress-free environment that keeps them happy, healthy, and adoptable. » We help ensure successful placements and reduce returns by matching pets with highly compatible people and families. » All pets receive mandatory sterilization, up-to-date vaccinations, and an identification microchip. Placement Services We provide counseling and placement services to potential adopters, assisting them in selecting a breed or blend whose characteristics are a suitable match for their home and lifestyle, and helping them to locate an adoptable pet through our referral network. Volunteer Program We offer volunteer opportunities for adults, teens, and kids that can help them develop new skills, make friends, build networking connections, and give them a new perspective on life. Community Education To support the community, we offer regular public education courses taught by volunteers and advocates to encourage humane pet care and responsible pet ownership, and we support sterilization programs to reduce pet overpopulation. The Pet Adoption Center of Orange County is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization that connects adoptable pets with loving people and the resources they need to be a family for life. EIN: 47-3705568.
