About Us

Humane Society Silicon Valley (HSSV) has been serving people and pets in Silicon Valley for over 85 years. Having facilitated more than half a million animal adoptions, HSSV is leading the charge for animal welfare through community education programs, creative marketing techniques and effective homeless animal prevention strategies. HSSV also offers quality adoptions, affordable spaying/neutering, vaccinations and microchipping services, and pet care services to enhance the human-animal bond. HSSV’s mission is to save and enhance lives, both two-legged and four-legged.

In 2017, HSSV became the first “model shelter,” an achievement accomplished by meeting over five hundred guidelines for standards of animal care set by the Association of Shelter Veterinarians. At the heart, being a model shelter means that we’re committed to the well-being of animals while they are in our care - both physical and emotional - and we work hard to set them up for success with their future families.
