The Pet Adoption Center of Orange County
Connecting Hearts and Homes
The Pet Adoption Center of Orange County is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to connecting adoptable pets with loving people and the resources they need to be a family for life. Our vision is a community that cares so deeply for the welfare of its pets that it finds shelter euthanasia not only unnecessary, but unimaginable.
Our Commitment to Care
We work to reduce shelter overcrowding by accepting dogs from local animal control agencies and welfare organizations. Our contemporary, home-like facility in Lake Forest serves as a sanctuary for small dogs, providing an environment where they are treated as if they are already in their forever home. From personalized nutrition and medication to consistent socialization with our dedicated staff and volunteers, we ensure every dog stays happy, healthy, and ready for adoption.
A Thoughtful Approach to Adoption
We believe that a successful adoption begins with a perfect match. By providing specialized counseling and placement services, we help potential adopters find a breed or blend that suits their home and lifestyle. This thoughtful approach helps us ensure successful, long-term placements and minimizes the stress of transitions for both our dogs and their new families.
Find Your New Best Friend
If you are ready to open your heart and home, we invite you to view our available dogs on our website.

Whether you adopt from our Lake Forest center or through our foster network, we are honored to help you find your new companion and start your journey as a family for life.
