Adopt a dog at one of our dog adoption events near San Jose

San Jose is the bustling heart of Silicon Valley, filled with diverse neighborhoods, urban parks, and cultural hubs, and it’s about a 15-minute drive to our adoption events in Sunnyvale. That makes it easy for San Jose 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 San Jose 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 San Jose

San Jose boasts numerous dedicated spaces for canine companions. Ryland Dog Park, Miyuki Dog Park, and Butcher Dog Park feature fully enclosed off-leash play yards, while the Saratoga Creek Trail offers scenic off-leash designated areas alongside leashed trail systems.

Patio dining is thriving across San Jose, from Santana Row and San Pedro Square Market to Willow Glen’s Lincoln Avenue, where dog-friendly patios routinely welcome pets with outdoor seating and water dishes. One thing worth knowing: city regulations mandate six-foot leashes in all un-fenced public parks.

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!
