Take I-5 North to the Camp Pendleton off ramp. Go straight until you come to the main gate of the base. After notifying the gate of your destination, enter the base and drive straight for approximately 4 to 5 miles, or about 15 minutes. Turn left on Basilone Road and then right on Vado del Rio Road. Take the first right up the hill and follow the shelter sign. *Directions will differ if you are coming from the I-5 South. You may want to call us for directions
Our Adoption Process
After walking through our kennels and speaking with a kennel attendant or volunteer about the type of dog or cat that is best suited for your home and lifestyle, please complete an adoption application for the animal you are interested in.
All animals are altered, vaccinated, and microchiped PRIOR to adoption. Dogs are vaccinated for rabies/dhlppc/bordatella. Cats are feline leukimia tested, and vaccinated for rabies/rccp. Cats must have pet carriers to leave the shelter. The adoption fee is $110.00 for dogs and $85.00 for cats. (Cash or credit card only) Price includes a one year base registration tag for base residents. Please come and see us the prices are well worth what you're getting. Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group. |
