Adopt a dog at one of our dog adoption events near Laguna Woods
A dog can bring a lot of joy to the retirement years, and Laguna Woods has plenty of residents who know it. With its quiet streets, gentle walking routes, and a community that values companionship, it’s a wonderful place for an older dog or a calm, easygoing companion. Our adoption events are only a short drive away.
Getting to an adoption event
The drive from Laguna Woods to our Mission Viejo event is roughly 15 minutes, and it’s a straightforward route down El Toro Road and over to Santa Margarita Parkway. Take your time looking through our available dogs page first. Once you find a dog who catches your eye, reserve a spot so you can meet them without any rush.
Dog-friendly Laguna Woods
Pet rules in Laguna Woods Village vary by community, so check with your HOA about size limits and guidelines before adopting. Beyond the Village, Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park is nearby and welcomes leashed dogs on its trails, and the flat, shaded paths in the area are good for relaxed daily walks.

Adoption Event Manager
I have been in love with dogs my entire life. I became a part of the Amazing Dogs family early 2024 and have committed myself to the cause. One of my greatest accomplishments has been working at these adoption events to find these dogs their forever homes with their forever families and then seeing them a few months later happy and adjusted. This is what Amazing Dogs Rescue is all about. I am a mom to 5 fur babies and have fostered and adopted from this rescue before I took on the role of Event Manager.
Petco Store Manager
I have proudly served the Petco Mission Viejo team for 2 years and 9 months. Throughout my time with Petco, I’ve been passionate about building lasting relationships with pet parents, supporting my team, and making a positive impact on the lives of pets every day. As a proud dog owner to two dogs, my love for animals extends beyond the workplace, making Petco the perfect place to combine my passion with my career. I enjoy helping every pet and pet parent find the right solutions while creating a welcoming experience for everyone who walks through the doors.
