tomorrow will be our one week anniversary of adopting out first kitten from the hssv (and our first kitten in general)! the adoption process was so seamless and a lot simpler than expected. Gretchen was super helpful and informative in letting us see all the kittens and had an amazing attitude that made it all the more enjoyable. And to Michelle who helped us with the paperwork process, thank you for making it and seamless and cracking jokes with us! she made the experience memorable and fun.our kitten came to us in good health and well taken care of. they gave me all of his medical records from foster care to the most updated and let us know what his next vaccines are. they also set us up with pet insurance which i am grateful for, it was such an easy process.i am happy to report that our kitty (previously named grady) has been adjusting very well and is so happy. he was definitely the best choice for us and i would definitely adopt through the hssv again!

We have had two great experiences with this facility. Our sweet puppy was adopted here a few years ago. She was healthy and clean when we got her. The staff was friendly and helpful. The shelter is clean and the furry friends are all well cared for. Currently we are fostering kittens for the shelter. It’s our first time fostering. Its been a great experience for the whole family, especially our teens- they learned how to syringe feed seven week old kittens. Its taught them a lot of responsibility. The volunteers involved in fostering are helpful and they have free back up for non-emergency or emergency issues. The vets and vet techs have been kind and grateful that we are fostering. The food and litter is supplied. They even have some toys. I did buy a cheap large litter box. And our teens can log some volunteer hours too. Highly recommend!

I can't say enough good things about our visit to the Humane Society Silicon Valley. First, this is a lovely site - really well maintained and areas for animals to play indoors and outdoors - just a great facility. We came in looking for a kitty, and were assisted by a really helpful and kind man (unfortunately, we forgot to get his name!). Turns out we went in looking for one kitty and left with two, as two brothers claimed us :) Everyone was so friendly and made the adoption process a really wonderful experience we won't forget. Thank you all!

We wanted to provide HSSV with an update on Mochi's progress since bringing him to his forever home. Mochi is just as sweet as described, enjoying exploring his new surroundings and staying close to his humans. He adores watching and listening to the birds in the backyard, and when tired, he prefers napping on the biggest bed in the house. Here are some pictures of mochi that we're excited to show you.This is my second adoption through HSSV, and I have been happy with their service and care for animals. Thank you so much for allowing us to give Mochi a loving home.

Best place to find your furry new family member. Love the cat rooms that allow you to be in the room with the cats and kittens and see how you interact. Cats are altered, microchipped, and current on vaccinations. Compared to paying for these services yourself, it's a great deal too. Many have been fostered and are extremely friendly. And some are scared and need a calm patient person to allow them to trust, relax, and show the wonderful cat hiding inside. Don't know of a better place to find your newest family member.

I cannot say enough about them, I had to take my 12 year old cat in to be put to sleep. It was a great experience under the circumstances. They were very welcoming, explained everything to me i wish i could remember the ladies name that did the procedure but she was awesome. They really took the time with me and then afterword's let me spend some time with her. They also took her blanket and stuffy to cremate her with. Again I want to thank them so much for the care and comparison they showed in my situation.

I just adopted my little guy on Sunday, February 18th! I was not expecting to meet him, but after some encouragement from the helpful staff who thought he would be perfect for me to meet, I agreed to meet him! He was formally known as “Sizzle” at the HSSV, but I renamed him Charlie. It’s been 5 days now, and I’m just so happy with him. Waking up to him is such a joy. Within the last few days, we’ve gone on lots of walks, had a vet check-up, had lots of play time, and plan to have a visit to the groomers. He’s this bundle of energy that loves his toys! I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you. Thank you so much for providing me with my happy fur baby. My family and I love him so much! He has brought so much happiness to our home, and I’d like to think it’s the same for him too as we experienced his “zoomies” here!! Thank you Margaret for our meet & greet, and thank you Denise for helping process the adoption forms and answering any questions I had. Thank you to the staff who helped encourage me to meet him as well. Everyone was so patient and helpful. I’m truly so grateful! I have attached some updated photos here of our time together so far! Thank you!!!!

I came to this location a few weeks ago with a possible lost cat to get it checked for a microchip. They did in fact check the cat for one, which he did not, but were incredibly unhelpful afterwards. The young lady who initially helped us out and gave us a carrier box to put the cat in, and was the one who checked for a chip, was very nice and accommodating. It was her supervisor, an older woman, that we had an issue with. We were trying to explain to her our situation and why we decided to take the cat with us but she shut us down completely. Not listening to what we had to say at all. Completely dismissing the fact that we told her that the collar we had on the cat was one that WE had put on him and not one that was on him when we found him initially. Telling us that we basically kidnapped someone’s cat and to put him back where we found him. Mind you, during this time there was terrible weather out and the following days after. Which is the reason why we took him in in the first place, afraid that he wouldn’t be able to find shelter or go back to a possible owner. We thought it was the right thing to do, but apparently to this woman, it wasn’t. We also came here with hopes that they could help us try and find an owner, check if anyone has been looking for a lost cat, all of that but did not do that at all. We were only told to post about having found the cat on different forums like “PawBoost” and so on, which we did immediately and still have yet to hear back from anyone. We have grown incredibly fond of the little guy and will be considering adopting him if no one comes around.

Adopted my first rabbit here a few months ago. The shelter is very clean, and they have big pens for rabbits instead of cages, so very nice. The people who work/volunteer here are friendly and helpful. The adoption process was easy. It was unfortunate hat three days after I adopted my rabbit, he got liver lobe torsion (I’m still not sure whether it’s it)that the vet I took him to said he was unlikely to survive. I was so overwhelmed because I had zero experience of taking care of rabbits at that time. The rabbit volunteer at the shelter followed up with me and offered to help when she knew the situation. She also provided information of the background of my rabbit (although limited because my rabbit was found by a good Samaritan at a park) to help the diagnosis and treatment. Fortunately my rabbit finally survived and he is very healthy and happy now. I hoped that they had vets that I can bring my rabbit to for a second opinion and hopefully cost a little less but unfortunately they don’t (probably because it’s rabbit?), so I had to stick with the only vet I could find available at that time, and I spent a few thousands in that month. So I would suggest anyone to have pet insurance ready before the adoption if you can afford it, also the condition is not related to the shelter, my rabbit was fine before I adopted him, it’s just that anything can happen so you’re better off with an insurance.

Two stray cats wondered into our backyard and the wife just can’t resist the temptation of feeding them! But we are worry they will produce kittens so we found this service for community cats.You need to make appointment before you can drop off the cat. And entrance from the “cat” door.They will deworm, vaccinate, de-fleas, spay and chip the cat for free if you are the resident of Santa Clara county! There will be a $50 charge if you from outside of the county!The people work there are very friendly, knowledgeable and well trained! And they do show the love to animals !We will pick up this cat this afternoon and try to enjoy this new backyard visitor!

How can you not love this place. So many cute animals. And today I got a new addition to my family. Big discount for older cats too 🐈😹.They have dogs, cats, and rabbits! I wish i could adopt them all!!!The staff there are very nice and professional. We thought the adoption would take a while, but it was about an hour, including waiting in line.What a deal, for a $75 fee, i got a cat, fully vaccinated, dental cleaned and chipped. And a sweet one! This is the place to adopt, look here first!I decided to add pics of the rabbits only because you all know about the cats and dogs.

Such nice people work there. Very clean. All the animals are attended to. They have extra support for after adoption. You can come and get food if you need it. Puppy training.We found our furever baby there he was spayed, microchipped, registered, first vaccinations, dewormed. We adopted a puppy named Stanley. Filled our families heart after the passing of our previous doggie.Since then our Stanley dog finished all his shots even his lepto. We do the 30mile dog walk for St JUDES children's hospital. We walk 1-2 miles or more a day. He is living his best life. Shout out to Milpitas animal shelter!

The cat I adopted from the humane society is the most sweet and adorable cat ever! I've been super impressed by the humane society staff both at the Petco Sunnyvale location as well as at their main office location. Unfortunately, my kitty ended up having ringworm and we are having to treat him which is a very difficult process. However, the humane society medical staff has gone out of their way to make sure we have everything we need and that Milo is very well taken care of. I cannot speak highly enough of their staff and their medical center staff!

Adopted our cute pupsters here! The facility is huge and has a great reputation from the reviews we read. At first we wanted to browse around but we fell in love a dog and ended up leaving with her the same day. Weekends we’re busy so we tried to avoid that and went on a Friday instead. We were the fifth ones in line and the four groups ahead of us all got dogs. If you love a dog don’t wait around chances are someone else will pick them right up. Most of them are neutered and have partial vaccines. They also included 6 weeks of puppy training complimentary. Highly recommend this place if you’re in the market for a dog.

I went to the Humane Society from the time I was a second grader to go to summer camp, all the way until I was an eighth grader. I’ve been a camp counselor for two years and volunteer doing service work year round. HSSV is one of the best places to learn and grow and connect with our community. Just before Christmas (2018) we adopted our first puppy from HSSV. The staff were wonderful and helpful and made sure we knew what we needed to before we adopted. The Humane Society of Silicon Valley provides great resources and facilities and is a wonderful place!

What a great place to find a family pet. We adopted our first puppy from here today and all of the staff took great care of us. We were able to walk in and see what puppies they had available (didn’t have an appointment, so I’m glad it wasn’t busy at the time). We checked their website in advance but once we found a puppy we liked online, it seemed like they were listed as adopted afterwards. So we just decided to go have a look in person. We visited with 3 different puppies, and left with an adorable new family member. They even have a small pet store there, which came in handy because we didn’t think we’d leave with our puppy the same day (so we needed some basic supplies). If you’re looking to adopt a new pet then definitely consider going here.

It is a very nice facility!I like the “rooms” each animal has! They are SO MUCH NICER than the standard cages most places have.The wait seemed extra long this time, over an hour if I wanted to go into one of the personal rooms to meet one on one with a dog. Not sure if they were short staffed (on 2-18-24)?Would DEFINITELY recommend this location! Too bad all animal shelters aren’t this nice!

A very clean and friendly shelter environment, with proper partitions and living supplies for cats/kittens, dogs/puppies and pocket pets (eg rabbit). It allows potential adopters to interact with animals with high flexibility and get to know them better. They have a well-established foster program and systematic management for these rescued animals. It is highly recommended for individuals with adoption or rescue needs to come here. It's definitely worth a visit if you are in the bay area.

Absolutely amazingly caring staff! Lucky enough to be in the area for their spay/neuter program. I have also been there for their euthanasia service which in my emotional state at the time having to let go, they made me feel better because of how they treat people and their family (pets). Definitely recommended overall. Check them out.

We went in to see a dog I'd seen on their website. When we got there we discussed why we were there and the dog we were looking at. The person who helped us really listened and actually recommend a different dog.. I admit I felt sorry for the dog we'd come to see, but we saw him being handled outside of his pen and he was like a kangaroo on steroids! The enviroment I work in would allow dogs, but a couple of the folks would NEVER be able to handle a dog like that around due to physical restrictions!They set us up with a meet and greet and within the hour we were a happy little family again! This new dog is a Beagle/Border Collie mix and is two years old. The previous owner had given up on her.. We wont! We were a little concerned when within 15 hours of ownership she started this horrible cough! We knew there was a dog flu going around and so the next day took her in.We were told to come back an hour later because she hadn't even been in our care for 24 hours. The exam went well and antibiotics were given. I'd never heard of "Kennel Cough" before.. It's a combination of Germs and bacteria from a lot of animals in a single place. Goes away in about a week to three weeks. Please check with your Vet, don't take my word for it! All in all we are very pleased and would recommend the SPCA for good animals in a human world that need a little help, love and patience!God bless

It is literally a 5-star facility for animals is every respect. The infrastructure is par excellence and so is the staff and their services. I found a stray cat and brought him in when we couldn't find his owner. I worried about his well being and stopped by a few days later to check on him after he was neutered and put up for adoption. I was beyond impressed. The cat was visibly content in their care. His enclosure had everything he possibly needed and more, including large windows for natural light so he could look outside, cat tree, cat toys, etc. The volunteers I talked to genuinely cared. My mind is blown.

Received a call to adopt our neonatal kitten along with another kitten they had raised together during foster care. We definitely advocate for adopting two kittens together. It's comforting to know they can keep each other company when no one is home. They're always together, whether playing or sleeping, which is adorable. But don't worry, they still give us plenty of attention and affection too. We believe it also helped them learn how to socialize properly, when to retract their claws, distinguish between good and bad behaviors, and use the litter box correctly. They quickly learned good behaviors, and now they don't mind belly rubs and follow us around for pets.The adoption process was exciting and seamless. I had the chance to walk around and see all the other animals as well. They simply took my phone number and called me when the front desk was available to assist with the paperwork.I'm not sure if the people who fostered the kittens will see this, but this is for the two kittens registered as Neo and Fang. Just wanted to share some photos of these two and extend a big thank you for your time, dedication, and love (and, of course, to all those who make up the HSSV!).

The best rescue I've ever seen! The dogs and cats all have good sized rooms and get a lot of love, attention. Clean rooms (immaculate) with clean beds and blankets and plenty of toys! The outside play yard is amazing! I was so impressed I gave the facility a donation when we left. We aren't quite ready to adopt, but when we are we will come back and find the perfect puppy! If you are looking for a new pet please do yourself a favor and go here! I promise you won't be disappointed.

Took the ferals here for the trap neutered and release (TnR) program. If you have feral cats issues in your community, this is the place to go to. Free and friendly service to Santa Clara County residents including spayed/neuter, vaccines, deworm and deflea on feral cats. Stabilize the feral population by stopping breeding.

How can you not love this place. So many cute animals. And today I got a new addition to my family. Big discount for older cats too 🐈😹.They have dogs, cats, and rabbits! I wish i could adopt them all!!!The staff there are very nice and professional. We thought the adoption would take a while, but it was about an hour, including waiting in line.What a deal, for a $75 fee, i got a cat, fully vaccinated, dental cleaned and chipped. And a sweet one! This is the place to adopt, look here first!I decided to add pics of the rabbits only because you all know about the cats and dogs.

Such nice people work there. Very clean. All the animals are attended to. They have extra support for after adoption. You can come and get food if you need it. Puppy training.We found our furever baby there he was spayed, microchipped, registered, first vaccinations, dewormed. We adopted a puppy named Stanley. Filled our families heart after the passing of our previous doggie.Since then our Stanley dog finished all his shots even his lepto. We do the 30mile dog walk for St JUDES children's hospital. We walk 1-2 miles or more a day. He is living his best life. Shout out to Milpitas animal shelter!

The cat I adopted from the humane society is the most sweet and adorable cat ever! I've been super impressed by the humane society staff both at the Petco Sunnyvale location as well as at their main office location. Unfortunately, my kitty ended up having ringworm and we are having to treat him which is a very difficult process. However, the humane society medical staff has gone out of their way to make sure we have everything we need and that Milo is very well taken care of. I cannot speak highly enough of their staff and their medical center staff!

The issue I have is they don't have history on the dogs. I've been interested in 2 dogs both times was told they are from Central Valley shelter so we have no information. It's important to understand the environment the dog was in and any past health issues. This is especially important if it was a rescue. I think this would be a great process change. Considering taking back animals is an expensive, emotional and lengthy process, it would be helpful to have as much info on the animal as possible in order to make sure it's a match. I'm

They took so much care for every animal to not feel nervous.I could see that every animal had good temperament and socialized well, probably also because they were well treated. ❤️😻They pay a lot of attention to you, answer all your questions in detail.I saw cats being adopted in less than 10 mins. 💕😻❤️

I so appreciate this wonderful organization. We rescued a small white kitten that was dumped in our neighborhood. Had an appointment to get her fixed. Ended up getting out and got pregs. Had 6 kittens. Able to rehome 2. Now the amazing part. Saw that the Humane Society of Silicon Valley was providing a mobile spay and neuter service. Took 5 cats in at 7am, picked them up at 3pm. Fixed, flea treatment, nails clipped and a tracking chip. Okay, sit down. FREE. FREE. FREE. FREE. FREE. We made a very small donation. And none of them had to be put down. Yay!!

Adopted our cute pupsters here! The facility is huge and has a great reputation from the reviews we read. At first we wanted to browse around but we fell in love a dog and ended up leaving with her the same day. Weekends we’re busy so we tried to avoid that and went on a Friday instead. We were the fifth ones in line and the four groups ahead of us all got dogs. If you love a dog don’t wait around chances are someone else will pick them right up. Most of them are neutered and have partial vaccines. They also included 6 weeks of puppy training complimentary. Highly recommend this place if you’re in the market for a dog.

I went to the Humane Society from the time I was a second grader to go to summer camp, all the way until I was an eighth grader. I’ve been a camp counselor for two years and volunteer doing service work year round. HSSV is one of the best places to learn and grow and connect with our community. Just before Christmas (2018) we adopted our first puppy from HSSV. The staff were wonderful and helpful and made sure we knew what we needed to before we adopted. The Humane Society of Silicon Valley provides great resources and facilities and is a wonderful place!

What a great place to find a family pet. We adopted our first puppy from here today and all of the staff took great care of us. We were able to walk in and see what puppies they had available (didn’t have an appointment, so I’m glad it wasn’t busy at the time). We checked their website in advance but once we found a puppy we liked online, it seemed like they were listed as adopted afterwards. So we just decided to go have a look in person. We visited with 3 different puppies, and left with an adorable new family member. They even have a small pet store there, which came in handy because we didn’t think we’d leave with our puppy the same day (so we needed some basic supplies). If you’re looking to adopt a new pet then definitely consider going here.

It is a very nice facility!I like the “rooms” each animal has! They are SO MUCH NICER than the standard cages most places have.The wait seemed extra long this time, over an hour if I wanted to go into one of the personal rooms to meet one on one with a dog. Not sure if they were short staffed (on 2-18-24)?Would DEFINITELY recommend this location! Too bad all animal shelters aren’t this nice!

A very clean and friendly shelter environment, with proper partitions and living supplies for cats/kittens, dogs/puppies and pocket pets (eg rabbit). It allows potential adopters to interact with animals with high flexibility and get to know them better. They have a well-established foster program and systematic management for these rescued animals. It is highly recommended for individuals with adoption or rescue needs to come here. It's definitely worth a visit if you are in the bay area.

Absolutely amazingly caring staff! Lucky enough to be in the area for their spay/neuter program. I have also been there for their euthanasia service which in my emotional state at the time having to let go, they made me feel better because of how they treat people and their family (pets). Definitely recommended overall. Check them out.

We just adopted "Sol" now Frankie the 8 yr old Chihuahua. The Humane Society of Silicon Valley is well organized and professional. They clearly take great care of the animals as they seek their forever homes. We spoke to three people, one at the front desk, one volunteer who showed us the dog and another who helped with the paperwork. All were SUPER friendly and clearly care about what they do. We are overjoyed to have Frankie. In the few minutes he has been home he hasnt stopped wagging his little tail.

The check in process even you actually adopt is simple and straight forward, and the building was clean. They offer free training classes for puppies, which is awesome, and are very responsive to questions. Great shelter, great staff, great dogs!!

Last year they messed up while giving vaccination to my 1 year dog. Can you believe they gave (4+1) vaccinations on same day despite me asking will that be okay for a small dog. My dog didn’t have reactions but was in a lot of pain later that night for which I’d to take him to urgent care and my regular vet prescribed pain medication and suggested to separate vaccinations next time. Despite their sloppy job last year, I wanted to go here due to close proximity to home and reasonable cost. When I openly shared my experience from last time and asked to separate the vaccinations they agreed at first initially and charged my card. After a minute they had a change of mind and turned me away. The supervisor recommended to go to my personal vet clinic and mentioned that their center is for mass vaccinations only! (probably because they don’t trust their own nurses with their jobs) or put their one and done methodology before the pets needs. What kind of inhumane society is this. Wasted my time and pushed out my dogs vaccinations by at least a month. Don’t recommend going here if you really care for your pet. If you do, don’t share your experience as it’ll be used against you!

We went in to see a dog I'd seen on their website. When we got there we discussed why we were there and the dog we were looking at. The person who helped us really listened and actually recommend a different dog.. I admit I felt sorry for the dog we'd come to see, but we saw him being handled outside of his pen and he was like a kangaroo on steroids! The enviroment I work in would allow dogs, but a couple of the folks would NEVER be able to handle a dog like that around due to physical restrictions!They set us up with a meet and greet and within the hour we were a happy little family again! This new dog is a Beagle/Border Collie mix and is two years old. The previous owner had given up on her.. We wont! We were a little concerned when within 15 hours of ownership she started this horrible cough! We knew there was a dog flu going around and so the next day took her in.We were told to come back an hour later because she hadn't even been in our care for 24 hours. The exam went well and antibiotics were given. I'd never heard of "Kennel Cough" before.. It's a combination of Germs and bacteria from a lot of animals in a single place. Goes away in about a week to three weeks. Please check with your Vet, don't take my word for it! All in all we are very pleased and would recommend the SPCA for good animals in a human world that need a little help, love and patience!God bless

It is literally a 5-star facility for animals is every respect. The infrastructure is par excellence and so is the staff and their services. I found a stray cat and brought him in when we couldn't find his owner. I worried about his well being and stopped by a few days later to check on him after he was neutered and put up for adoption. I was beyond impressed. The cat was visibly content in their care. His enclosure had everything he possibly needed and more, including large windows for natural light so he could look outside, cat tree, cat toys, etc. The volunteers I talked to genuinely cared. My mind is blown.

To the female with the hair bun and the doc marten boots, please learn how to speak kindly and professionally to people who walk through your doors and not be so rude and condescending, and basically kicking them out. We definitely did not appreciate that. The point is to help people feel happy, informed and comfortable about adopting a pet and not feeling like your social demeanor is so horrible they never want to come to this shelter.Otherwise, this shelter has very knowledgeable and friendly staff members, not to mention the animals are clearly in great care. We're still looking forward to coming back and finding our match for the perfect pet for us.

Staff are super friendly and helpful. Great place to visit if looking to adopt an animal, even if you're not completely committed yet. We went in w/o appointment and interacting with some cats helped us to learn about different cats and their activity levels which helps us to make the right decision.

Used to volunteer walking the dogs here. I loved it. The place is clean, the volunteers and staff clearly love dogs, the dogs are not in cages. They have their own rooms with a bed raised off the floor. The volunteer program is flawlessly organized. AND it is a no kill shelter. On the rare occasion a dog has to be put down due to serious biting, they take it very very seriously, let the volunteers know ahead of time so they are not shocked. I moved away or would still be there.Now Im back in San Jose looking to adopt a dog..and I was shocked that the shelters have very few dogs. That is good for the dogs, but makes it hard to find "the one". Oh well..patience is a virtue!

The facility is brand new and beautifully constructed. It has ample parking. There is a private dog park for members only. This location always has plenty of dogs, rabbits, and cats looking for loving homes. The animals always look happy and healthy. I have been a foster parent for years and the vets are very friendly and accommodating.

I recommend making an appointment. It made the process of kitten adoption easier and less stressful. I only visited the kitten/ cat side but it was very clean and the cats seemed happy and playful. I have had my fur babies (2 of them- Tia and Spencer) for about eight months now and they have both remained happy and healthy.

We just adopted "Sol" now Frankie the 8 yr old Chihuahua. The Humane Society of Silicon Valley is well organized and professional. They clearly take great care of the animals as they seek their forever homes. We spoke to three people, one at the front desk, one volunteer who showed us the dog and another who helped with the paperwork. All were SUPER friendly and clearly care about what they do. We are overjoyed to have Frankie. In the few minutes he has been home he hasnt stopped wagging his little tail.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. It took us several tries to find the right dog, but the counselor (Melissa) was never pushy, and always have her honest opinion. She really tried to help us find a puppy that matched our lifestyle and would be good with our cat. The check in process even you actually adopt is simple and straight forward, and the building was clean. They offer free training classes for puppies, which is awesome, and are very responsive to questions. Great shelter, great staff, great dogs!!

Last year they messed up while giving vaccination to my 1 year dog. Can you believe they gave (4+1) vaccinations on same day despite me asking will that be okay for a small dog. My dog didn’t have reactions but was in a lot of pain later that night for which I’d to take him to urgent care and my regular vet prescribed pain medication and suggested to separate vaccinations next time. Despite their sloppy job last year, I wanted to go here due to close proximity to home and reasonable cost. When I openly shared my experience from last time and asked to separate the vaccinations they agreed at first initially and charged my card. After a minute they had a change of mind and turned me away. The supervisor recommended to go to my personal vet clinic and mentioned that their center is for mass vaccinations only! (probably because they don’t trust their own nurses with their jobs) or put their one and done methodology before the pets needs. What kind of inhumane society is this. Wasted my time and pushed out my dogs vaccinations by at least a month. Don’t recommend going here if you really care for your pet. If you do, don’t share your experience as it’ll be used against you!

We have searched for the perfect fur baby for a year now, from getting email alerts about new dogs, even drove all the way to Boise id to see a dog but came back empty handed, till we went to humane society of silicon valley. The facility was the most up kept and best one we been to yet and the staff were wonderful and helpful, and all the wonderful things they do and offer the animals is awesome, we ended up adopting a 3.5 month girl puppy they called hibiscus, witch we going to change but not sure to what yet that day, they gave us a lot of good information and it cool they include 6 free weeks of puppy training with the adoption. We are happy to have our new fur baby, and wish we could take them all home

I went to the gathering at Happy Hollow, where I met Katie. My dog Buddy had teeth issues & I could not find a Vet to take him until after December. When I rescued Buddy he was pretty much a street dog. I have had him for 6 years now. His teeth have been rotting since we got him. Long story short, Katie said she would help us try & get him in to see a dog dentist. After a few weeks, I had my 1st visit. I met with Dr. Jen, who was really concerned. After a week of several medications, it was time to have his teeth checked. Well they ended up taking all his teeth out. They treated him with love. He is back to normal, running around & happy. This place is the best. Thank you so much for bringing back my little Buddy.

Shelters can be sad and ominous places, so to see this place was more like a good dream. The facility is very clean and well staffed, the 'kennels' are homely and the animals themselves do not look like they are about to cry. They got us started with tons of information on which type of vaccines and surgery our new puppy had received and still needed. We will come back to adopt another in the future!

My boyfriend and I were browsing on the website for some time before we actually went to the shelter and looked at the puppies that they had for adoption.Procedures in adopting were very easy , it takes some time tho since there were only a couple of people helping with the adoption process. The staff were very friendly and clear on almost everything. Please do a little bit of research on getting pets before actually getting one. It will seriously help both you and your future baby. Also weekends are always packed (if you do go on a weekend go early because there's a line of people) and be ready to be there for about 2hrs or more.

Also happy to see so many people here to adopt or support this place.Do not have pets if you cannot take care of them. You are their all of all and without you, you are sentencing your pets to death penalty.Love the animals and be responsible.

Visited for the first time today and was thoroughly impressed with this facility. The staff were incredibly helpful and the pets were obviously well cared for and loved. It was immaculately clean and the grounds were gorgeous. I will definitely be adopting my next pet and donating annually to the Humane Society of Silicon Valley. These places tend to be rather emotional for me but I left comforted that all the adoptable pets here were in caring hands. Much respect to everyone who contributes to this amazing organization.

My fiancee was just trying to get our cats checked, when this employee named Katie was rude and spoke to everyone there like were children. By the sound of it, she manipulated the line and how many people could get seen. So in short that caused my fiancee to not only waste gas going there, but wasting her time because she wasn't able to get our cats seen even though she was there at the right time! Whoever this Katie is, you owe my fiancee and everyone there an apology and I hope your supervisor finds out about this and disciplines you!!!

First of all my 1 star review goes to a specific adoption counselor. I wish I could give this facility 10 stars for the wonderful volunteers and the staff that cares for the animals. This shelter is very clean and all the animals look very comfortable. Ok back to my experience... On Sunday my kids and I went to adopt a cat. We had a wonderful time bonding with the cats we wanted to adopt. We proceeded to talk with adoption counselor. She asked all the standard questions and then she asked if we had a dog. I replied yes and she asked if the dog was indoor or outdoor, I said my dog is both indoor and outdoor. She immediately got defensive and kept hounded me and speaking poorly to me about how me keeping my dog outside sometimes is harmful. Now I understand they have a job to do in placing the animals in the best home possible but she was doing more then her job she was downright rude. She made my older daughter cry because she scared her and we were not able to proceed with the adoption of the cats we fell in love with. This story does have a happy ended because after 3 hours at the shelter we finally were able to find out new fur babies and a new adoption counselor helped us and was great!

My girlfriend and I adopted a dog named Horton on March 25th, 2023 from HSSV. They claimed he was healthy but when we took him home we noticed right away there was something wrong since he was occasionally coughing.First we thought he was just adjusting to a new environment but got worried so we decided to take him to a veterinarian on March 27th, 2023 where they did a general exam and noticed his lungs were a bit raspy. They wanted to perform x-rays for his lungs but our pet insurance hasn't gone through yet, so we decided to just pay for the antibiotics and cough tablets at the time.He seemed very lethargic for a 4 month old puppy, and we wanted to reach a diagnosis so we decided to take him to a different veterinarian on March 29th, 2023. This is where they decided to do a PCR test to check for viral infections and xrays to check for his lungs again. The x-rays of his lungs came back fine and they told us they would contact us in 3 days for the PCR test results.Today March 31st, 2023 they called us back with results they have never seen before. Our puppy that we adopted from HSSV was diagnosed with 4 different viral infections. These infections consisted of Canine Distemper Virus, Boardetella Bronchiseptica, Canine Parainfluenza Virus, and Canine Pneumovirus.We've also contacted HSSV for help in the span of these few days of having our puppy and all they can say is they can't help us because we signed a waiver and that we're on our own.

We have also *always* adopted our pet dogs from HSSV San Jose & Milpitas.

I adopted a kitten called Gigi one week ago. The consultant claimed that she has recovered from several conditions like upper respiratory infection. I trusted her. But obviously Gigi is still sneezing and tearing. She’s very weak. And she got a swollen on her jaw. I took her to ER and the doctor told me it is caused by the infection. This is ridiculous. This makes this place untrustworthy at all. They should not put a sick kitten outside for people to choose. They should not tell us a sick kitten is a heathy. They should not send a sick kitten out and pretend it is nothing to do with them. Gigi is still at the ER. I can’t imagine what will happen if she cannot recover.

To the female with the hair bun and the doc marten boots, please learn how to speak kindly and professionally to people who walk through your doors and not be so rude and condescending, and basically kicking them out. We definitely did not appreciate that. The point is to help people feel happy, informed and comfortable about adopting a pet and not feeling like your social demeanor is so horrible they never want to come to this shelter.Otherwise, this shelter has very knowledgeable and friendly staff members, not to mention the animals are clearly in great care. We're still looking forward to coming back and finding our match for the perfect pet for us.

I adopted a puppy and the staff were very nice. When I took her to the animal vet to get some of her vaccinations (this wasn't the one at the shelter), they said the veterinarians did a good job on examining her. The only thing I was disappointed about was she came home flea infested. I know that it's not their responsibility but I think shelters should treat fleas on the animals before letting them go up for adoption. The other thing was they didn't tell me she had fleas knowing she did and so the puppy ended up giving my other two cats fleas. Overall it was a good experience and many tips were given. If you are adopting a puppy, expect to pay $375. Another thing is if your puppy hasn't gotten its vaccinations (most likely hasn't), you have to pay a couple more hundred dollars for it.

What a fantastic experience it was adopting our tiny little fur baby from HSSV, Milpitas. Cleanliness of this center is top-notch. We brought our tuxedo kitten home when she was a few months old. Our kitten is now a healthy & happy adult cat. The whole process of adoption was so transparent including kitten’s background (she was found stray), her medical records, her food habits and her personality traits. She has been a wonderful addition to our family. I truly appreciate HSSV following up with me few times after adoption making sure both kitten & we were bonding okay. It really helped me being a first time pet parent. Thank you HSSV for saving these precious animals and doing everything needed to match them with right families. 👏🙏🏻

My girlfriend and I went to see the kittens, they didn't have many so we'll keep looking. This one wasn't crowded at all,& yes hey are doing a fine job sticking to a COVID-19 FREE ENVIRONMENT.👍

Very nice and clean facility. We did not adopt any animals here but the staff are always friendly. Adoption fees are higher compares to San Mateo and East Bay. Our female maltepom were spayed here recently and everything went well. Post surgery healed as expected.

Amazingly helpful and friendly staff. They were quick to greet us and provide us with the information we need.During my last visit I ended up adopting an adorable cat named Cotton. The staff there were excited and sad to see him go, but still gave me all the info I needed to help provide him with a forever home. Heather, the girl at the front desk, kept the mood high and answered all my questions promptly.

First of all my 1 star review goes to a specific adoption counselor. I wish I could give this facility 10 stars for the wonderful volunteers and the staff that cares for the animals. This shelter is very clean and all the animals look very comfortable. Ok back to my experience... On Sunday my kids and I went to adopt a cat. We had a wonderful time bonding with the cats we wanted to adopt. We proceeded to talk with adoption counselor. She asked all the standard questions and then she asked if we had a dog. I replied yes and she asked if the dog was indoor or outdoor, I said my dog is both indoor and outdoor. She immediately got defensive and kept hounded me and speaking poorly to me about how me keeping my dog outside sometimes is harmful. Now I understand they have a job to do in placing the animals in the best home possible but she was doing more then her job she was downright rude. She made my older daughter cry because she scared her and we were not able to proceed with the adoption of the cats we fell in love with. This story does have a happy ended because after 3 hours at the shelter we finally were able to find out new fur babies and a new adoption counselor helped us and was great!

My girlfriend and I adopted a dog named Horton on March 25th, 2023 from HSSV. They claimed he was healthy but when we took him home we noticed right away there was something wrong since he was occasionally coughing.First we thought he was just adjusting to a new environment but got worried so we decided to take him to a veterinarian on March 27th, 2023 where they did a general exam and noticed his lungs were a bit raspy. They wanted to perform x-rays for his lungs but our pet insurance hasn't gone through yet, so we decided to just pay for the antibiotics and cough tablets at the time.He seemed very lethargic for a 4 month old puppy, and we wanted to reach a diagnosis so we decided to take him to a different veterinarian on March 29th, 2023. This is where they decided to do a PCR test to check for viral infections and xrays to check for his lungs again. The x-rays of his lungs came back fine and they told us they would contact us in 3 days for the PCR test results.Today March 31st, 2023 they called us back with results they have never seen before. Our puppy that we adopted from HSSV was diagnosed with 4 different viral infections. These infections consisted of Canine Distemper Virus, Boardetella Bronchiseptica, Canine Parainfluenza Virus, and Canine Pneumovirus.We've also contacted HSSV for help in the span of these few days of having our puppy and all they can say is they can't help us because we signed a waiver and that we're on our own.

Humane Society of Silicon Valley has cremation services which we've used twice in the past when our beloved pets passed away. Reasonable cost, very nice pet urn, other options as well for keepsakes of your pet (paw impressions, lots of URN selections). We have also *always* adopted our pet dogs from HSSV San Jose & Milpitas.

I adopted a kitten called Gigi one week ago. The consultant claimed that she has recovered from several conditions like upper respiratory infection. I trusted her. But obviously Gigi is still sneezing and tearing. She’s very weak. And she got a swollen on her jaw. I took her to ER and the doctor told me it is caused by the infection. This is ridiculous. This makes this place untrustworthy at all. They should not put a sick kitten outside for people to choose. They should not tell us a sick kitten is a heathy. They should not send a sick kitten out and pretend it is nothing to do with them. Gigi is still at the ER. I can’t imagine what will happen if she cannot recover.

We reached out to the Humane Society when we couldn't get the schedule we needed with our regular veterinary provider. We're so glad their staff called back promptly.Letting our beloved pet go was a tough decision for us. The Humane Society made the process so much more stress-free, comforting, and dignified. Thank you for accommodating our wishes at the time we needed it.

We took our 2 year old small husky to this Humane Society to get neutered. It was a horrible experience overall. Let me give you the reasons:1. They made our dog have complete anesthesia, when it was not necessary. They were afraid only because our dog was uncomfortable at the beginning, and they took no time to make her feel at ease before starting to handle her. My boyfriend told them she is a little scared around big people and they took it personally and charged us another $100 to put her to sleep.2. When they shaved her belly, they were very careless which resulted in many razor cuts, irritation, and bleeding.3. A day later, we noticed our dog had acquired an ear infection from being in the Humane Society kennel. We had to go to another vet and spend a lot of money to get rid of the infection and treat the cuts on her belly. We paid much more overall than if we took her to get neutered at a normal veterinarian.

I lost my job due to the pandemic. I was thinking that I might have to give up my cat Bongo for adoption because I was worried about affording all his expenses for his upkeep. Luckily, with the help of HSSV's Pet Pantry program I don't have to worry about that anymore. For those unfamiliar, I am eligible to pick up food(and sometimes litter) every 30 days, Thursday-Saturday. I was also told during my first Pet Pantry food pick-up that they could also provide free vaccines if needed. I didn't need one at the time, but a couple weeks later I got a postcard from the vet notifying me that Bongo was due for a respiratory vaccine and a leukemia vaccine. They stopped doing leukemia vaccines, but I was able to get him the respiratory vaccine, free of charge. The vet was masked, and when I brought him in, I waited about five minutes before Bongo was called up. Then they took him in, and he was back out in less than five minutes, super quick and easy. Everyone, especially Sarah, has been really gracious and kind. Overall I'm very grateful for the services they provide for bonded family members during the pandemic.

I adopted a puppy and the staff were very nice. When I took her to the animal vet to get some of her vaccinations (this wasn't the one at the shelter), they said the veterinarians did a good job on examining her. The only thing I was disappointed about was she came home flea infested. I know that it's not their responsibility but I think shelters should treat fleas on the animals before letting them go up for adoption. The other thing was they didn't tell me she had fleas knowing she did and so the puppy ended up giving my other two cats fleas. Overall it was a good experience and many tips were given. If you are adopting a puppy, expect to pay $375. Another thing is if your puppy hasn't gotten its vaccinations (most likely hasn't), you have to pay a couple more hundred dollars for it.

We were able to visit puppies we were interested in, and take them out for a walk/play to get a better understanding of their personality.I recommend HSSV to anybody that is looking to adopt. If you are a responsible pet parent, HSSV will help you find your pet

What a fantastic experience it was adopting our tiny little fur baby from HSSV, Milpitas. Cleanliness of this center is top-notch. We brought our tuxedo kitten home when she was a few months old. Our kitten is now a healthy & happy adult cat. The whole process of adoption was so transparent including kitten’s background (she was found stray), her medical records, her food habits and her personality traits. She has been a wonderful addition to our family. I truly appreciate HSSV following up with me few times after adoption making sure both kitten & we were bonding okay. It really helped me being a first time pet parent. Thank you HSSV for saving these precious animals and doing everything needed to match them with right families. 👏🙏🏻

He is my spoiled baby boy and i love him so much. I would definitely consider adopting from this shelter again when i’m ready for another addition. Easy process, workers seem to really care for there residents there, It was a great experience.

Most shelters do proper interviews to be sure that the animals are going to proper homes. This location did not. Then they try to guilt trip. Would recommend a different location.

This place is great. Their organization of the dogs and rooms were disorganized but they figured it out. Be aware, the price to adopt a puppy is 8 weeks to 6 months is around $300. For dogs 6 months or older is $20. Seams a little pricy for a 8 week puppy but it includes 6 weeks of behavior classes, shots, chip and spay or neutering.

Took my shih tzu here during peak summer and he came back absolutely ready to rock the summers. The place has a decent amount of waiting but for a place like this it's absolutely worth it. The humane society is just such a happy place . The people working at the grooming center were very pleasant and courteous.Parking was not an issue at all.I had to book an appointment over an email and that works out better for me rather than being put on hold for hours before someone answers my call.So glad I found this place. We will back again here in a few months.

Although I'm not a cat savvy, I wanted to adopt a cat. I would say that this is a perfect place for trying out cat adoption (although the adoption fees are higher than other shelters) especially if you are adopting cat for the first time. The facility is pretty new, each cat is not caged but they are roomed, several well-informed volunteers give you tips on the personality of each cat, and you get to know the cat by playing inside the cozy room.

Kind, professional staff with nice volunteer opportunities, including a doggy day out program where you take a dog out to play from 9am to 1pm. Animals move quickly at this shelter, if you're looking to adopt a specific animal, you'll need to be on your toes and act fast.

Clean and well kept facilities. The place is huge with separate surrender and adoption areas. The staff is patient and supportive and the animals are well looked after. I asked to see 5 dogs before deciding on an adoption and they never rushed me.One star docked because they were VERY late in sending us the puppy's vaccination record, which resulted in confusion at the vet. Now we have to restart the flu vaccination cycle because of their tardiness.
