About Berkeley Humane

Berkeley Humane operates as a vital animal adoption center and community hub in Berkeley, California. While the Adoption Center at 2700 Ninth St is temporarily closed due to BAARC construction, Berkeley Humane’s programs continue from temporary locations and will relocate to a new campus on the same West Berkeley site as BAARC. The upcoming BAARC project envisions a 6,000 sq ft Medical & Adoption Center and a 2,500 sq ft Dog Pavilion, expanding care and community programs for local pets and their people.

Whether you’re looking to adopt, support, or participate in community events, Berkeley Humane is here to help with straightforward, reliable access to programs, events like Bark (& Meow) Around the Block and Pints For Paws, and practical guidance on parking and transit in the Berkeley area.

Note: For events, there is no fixed seating chart. Outdoor events may take place on a closed street or on-site with vendor booths and stages as applicable. Plan ahead for parking and public transit to ensure a smooth visit.
