Where can I adopt a cat or dog or rabbit?
Usually a great place to adopt a pet is at an animal shelter. You can also find some helpful listings on Craigslist.org or Petfinder.com. Petco and PetsMart also offer adoptions for shelter animals (usually on weekends). You should find your local Petco or local PetsMart and find out when they are holding their adoption days.
Here are some good links for the Contra Costa County/SF Bay Area. Remember, your local shelter is always a good place to start.
