About

Founded in 1965, Pets In Need is a charity based in Redwood City, United States working on animal welfare.

Pets In Need is a non-profit animal shelter in Northern California with locations in Redwood City and Palo Alto. It rescues homeless dogs and cats, mainly transferred from public shelters at risk of euthanasia due to space or financial limits, provides medical care and enrichment, and places animals in adoptive homes. It also runs low-cost veterinary and spay and neuter services, a senior citizens and pets support fund, and pet surrender and rehoming services. Operations are funded by donations, adoption fees and programme fees, and volunteers help socialise and train animals.
