City of Mission Viejo Animal Services Center

Morgan, a long-haired tuxedo cat, is waiting for her forever home at the Mission Viejo Animal Services Center.  She was originally relinquished to the shelter when her former owner could no longer care for her.  She was quickly adopted but then returned because the other cat in the home was not fond of the newest addition. However, she would do well in a home with other well-behaved cats.  

Mr. Nice Guy has earned his name like a badge of honor.  He is a sweet 10-year-old pit bull mix who needs a loving home to live out his twilight years.  He may be a bit older, but that just means he is smarter and wiser.   He is ready to be your friend, couch-mate and enjoy leisurely walks with you.  He may romp like a puppy on occasion but not all the time, which is something you'll appreciate after a long day.

Bennie has a good blend of affection and loyalty making him an ideal family dog for any family willing to giving him stability and consistency.

The Mission Viejo Animal Services Center is expecting several litters of kittens to come through its doors anytime now. Because of this, the center needs foster parents who can care for the kittens until they are old enough to be adopted.

Kittens arrive at the shelter as tiny as just a few days old, needing to be bottle fed, all the way up to 8 weeks old. Learn about the foster program and how you can help homeless kittens in our community by attending a special Kitten Shower at 2 p.m. on March 3 at 28095 Hillcrest.

Peyton is a large and handsome 3-year-old tabby. His has classic tabby coloring with bold, swirling patterns along his sides — much like a marble cake. His pale green eyes are luminous and piercing.

Berry the terrier is a 6-year-old scruff ball with the most endearing underbite you’ve ever seen.  At roughly 35 pounds, he’s the perfect size – large enough to take on adventures but small enough to share your bed.

Dana is a special 2-year-old calico cat.  Found by a Good Samaritan on the side of the I-5 freeway, Dana was brought to the Mission Viejo Animal Services Center with a severely injured leg that required amputation. 

Since then, Dana has healed beautifully and has no problem getting around on only three legs.  She even climbs cat trees!  Dana is extremely loving and just wants to be around people – but not other cats.  Therefore, she needs to be in a home without other felines.  

Weighing in at a hearty 97 pounds, Mozart is a young pup at only a year old. Based on his large stature and classic looks, he’s most likely a King Shepherd.  Larger than the more common German Shepherd, these types of dogs are extremely intelligent, easy to train and eager to please their owners.  They are a naturally courageous breed, showcasing their strength and bravery in their role as the family protector.

Kahlua is a beautiful 8-year-old smooth collie/lab mix, who arrived at our shelter after her owner tragically passed away.   She suddenly lost her beloved mom and the only home she had ever known.
