Upcoming Dog Adoption Events in Sunnyvale, CA
Adopt a dog at one of our dog adoption events near Menlo Park
Menlo Park is known for its beautiful residential areas, historic downtown, and proximity to the Bay, and it’s about a 20-minute drive to our adoption events in Sunnyvale. That makes it easy for Menlo Park residents to find their new best friend at one of our events.
Getting to an adoption event
Our Sunnyvale adoption events at Petco on El Camino Real are the closest option for Menlo Park 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 Sunnyvale event.
Dog-friendly Menlo Park
Menlo Park offers great outdoor options for dogs. Nealon Park and Willow Oaks Park both feature designated off-leash areas where dogs can run and socialize, while Bedwell Bayfront Park offers scenic paved and dirt trails along the San Francisco Bay for leashed adventures.
Patio dining is popular on Santa Cruz Avenue in Downtown Menlo Park, where local bakeries, cafes, and restaurants provide pet-friendly sidewalk tables. One thing worth knowing: off-leash hours and rules vary by park in Menlo Park, so always check posted signs before unclipping your dog’s leash.

Adoption Event Manager
With a lifelong passion for animals and rescue work, I’ve dedicated decades to community service and helping those in need. My family includes rescues of all kinds—from two aquatic turtles and my German Rottweiler who rescued me to a pack of community cats we adore.
When I discovered Amazing Dogs Rescue in 2024, I knew I had to get involved. Now, as the Event Manager for Pittsburg, I’m thrilled to be part of this incredible team and to help create impactful events for our furry friends. I’m excited to contribute to the mission of giving dogs the second chance they deserve!
