Upcoming Dog Adoption Events in San Diego, CA
Adopt a dog at one of our dog adoption events near Chula Vista
Chula Vista is about a 20-minute drive from our San Diego adoption events, which makes it easy for South Bay residents to find their new best friend at one of our events.
Getting to an adoption event
Our San Diego adoption events at Petco on Sports Arena Blvd are the closest option for Chula Vista adopters. Once you find a dog you’re interested in on our available dogs page, you can reserve a spot to meet them at our next San Diego event.
Dog-friendly Chula Vista
Chula Vista has more than ten dog parks, and several are close to where you’d live. Otay Ranch Town Center has a fenced dog park on Birch Road, and the surrounding shopping center is dog-friendly too. Montevalle Park has an off-leash area with a separate section for small dogs, plus water stations and waste bags. Eucalyptus Park and Mount San Miguel Park also have off-leash areas, and Mount San Miguel separates large and small dogs. For a leashed walk with more room to stretch out, the Bayshore Bikeway along the waterfront is a good option.
Outdoor dining is easy to find, especially around Otay Ranch Town Center. Policies vary by business, so it’s worth checking before you head inside with your dog. One thing worth knowing: leashed dogs are welcome in most Chula Vista parks, but they need to stay on leash everywhere outside the designated off-leash areas.
