Happy tails! Puck (now Sadie) is thriving in her new home! Her family shares:

"Sadie already responds to her name and knows the “sit” and “down” commands. She’s a big-time cuddler and loves sleeping at the foot of the bed. We are looking forward to participating in your exciting training curriculum and are currently enrolled in your Wednesday night doggy manners course. You all must have done a fantastic job with her to make things this easy for us, I have no doubt."

Dilbert came to us last summer and had a difficult time adjusting to the shelter environment, which made him anxious when meeting new people and animals.

Itza, one of our dedicated staff members, is one of many who help us achieve our mission of saving lives. For Dilbert, helping him to overcome his anxiety was important not only for his health but for his future as well.

Itza provided him with the temporary home he needed while he waited for his perfect match. During his time in foster care, Dilbert blossomed, showing a beautiful, soft side. She recalls that once Dilbert got comfortable, it allowed them to form a close bond. Now Dilbert is adopted and getting unlimited scratches from his loving family.

Larger dogs often have an extended stay time at shelters, which is why time in foster care is so essential to their well-being. Visit hssv.org/foster to give large dogs like Dilbert a break from shelter life and increase their chances of adoption!

Foster homes for ringworm kittens needed!

We're deep in the middle of kitten season and we have a lot of kittens coming in to the shelter with a treatable condition called Ringworm. Most shelters don't have the resources to care for these kittens because of the length of time it takes to treat ringworm which is why finding foster homes for them is so important. Our team will provide you with all the tools and resources you need to rehabilitate a ringworm kitten from the comfort of your own home.

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.
