Adopt
Did you know that close to 4 million homeless cats and dogs are euthanized in the United States every year as a result of animal overpopulation? And approximately 8,000 of those euthanized are homeless cats and dogs right here on our beautiful Central Coast? Coastal Canine encourages dog (and cat) lovers to adopt their next furry family member from a shelter or rescue group.
Here are some great places on the Central Coast to look for love:
