I lost my best friend to a pack of coyotes. The people here were so sympathetic and kind. I was so confused and hurt and didnt know which way to turn. The office lady and the officer who came to my house, were amazing. They were so kind.

One of the cleanest and well kept animal shelters I have EVER been to. Not only were the staff accommodating and super friendly, they’re also super experienced and have such a love for what they do. It makes sense why this establishment has been around for almost 100 years now! Go and give a sweet puppy a forever-home at the San Gabriel Valley Humane Society! 🐶

Only care about the money. Recently I found 5 kittens who looked malnourished and dehydrated we gave them something to eat and water and since we live in san Gabriel we wanted to leave them in our local shelter they didn’t want to take them and told us to put them back where we found them even though there was no mother and it was 95 degrees outside. We told them the information and they decided to tell us that they couldn’t take them and after we told them their conditions they said it didn’t matter. I have been to this shelter before when I wanted to adopt a dog. DO NOT COME HERE there’s other shelters and humane societies that care more about pets and the well being of animals. And when we opened the office door it’s smelled nothing but marihuana so unprofessional.

This is definitely one of the nicer humane societies in the area. The people that work here seem to care about the animals and the people coming to adopt them They make everything very easy for the new pet owners and offer veterinarian services at a low cost. I've adopted from this facility a few times and have had good luck with all of them I would say be patient, expect some strong smells and loud noises, and of course don't forget to wash your hands before and after visiting. You can see some of the animals prior to visiting the facility by visiting their website

There's feral cats on the property and though the other neighbors feed them they sleep on our side. The landlord has 0/zero pet policy and now thinking that they're ours however few are friendly and those we're trying to get a hold of them to relocate them hopefully to good homes. The others just are too wild and smart for the humane animal traps. What's the procedure to get the cats to the shelter?

Can I volunteer here?

Nona Ford | Aug 20, 2019
Miriam Leon | Aug 19, 2020

Yes as a general rule, all of these institutions have a volunteer program. You have to be at least 16 years of age to be allowed to volunteer on your own. Otherwise, they will want you to come with a chaperone because they claim that it is a safety issue. I can assure you that volunteering at anyone of these institutions gives you a very strong sense of accomplishment and an inner peace that you cannot find anywhere else. I am a laundry volunteer at Pasadena Humane Society and I hope that god allows me to continue doing this for many years to come.

Their website says that all family members must meet with the animal before adoption.I have a family of 6 and we are unable to gather us all in one day to meet with the cat that we want to adopt.Can we still adopt the cat if only half of us show up?

Porozil | Aug 20, 2019
Miriam Leon | Aug 19, 2020

They might be able to make an exception if you explain to them at the reception desk that the others are working or out of state. I mean seriously, it would be quite unfair of them to deny you the opportunity to give this poor kitty a loving family and a forever home simply because the rest of your family members are unavailable at this time to come visit the shelter. Not even god would view such selfishness with favor.

Found a small dog might want to keep it what do I need to do as far as checking to see if its chipped and has shots and anything else I need to do to make it legal and how much money will I have to spend?

Richard Sandoval | Aug 20, 2019
Miriam Leon | Aug 19, 2020

You can take him to any veterinary clinic close to your house to get check for a microchip if he doesn't have any collar with tags of identifications on him. But you would stil have to bring him to the shelter to issue his license and you would have to take him to the veterinarian and pay separately for his shots and if you want to sterilize him. They will not charge you anything if they just check to see if he has a microchip. Don't bring him to the shelter until you are absolutely positive that he doesn't have a microchip because they will make you leave him here for at least five business days to see if somebody else comes to claim him. If within those five days nobody comes to claim him he will be put up for adoption and if alot of people are interested in taking him the person who pays more money will be allowed to take him and you might lose the opportunity to do so forever. You will need to spend around $200 for the shots surgery, license and microchip.

I think they charge around $20 for each shot but to be sure call them at the number they have here, go over there personally and ask someone from the reception desk or check their website for more information. Don't forget to ask them if they have a low cost vaccination clinic like they sometimes do at LA animal services. Good luck!

My mother is elderly and wants to adopt a dog. How would she go about doing so and what would her costs be?

Karen Vasquez | Aug 20, 2018
Miriam Leon | Aug 19, 2020

She has to come take a tour of the kennel area and when she finds the dogs she wants to adopt she has to write down the animal ID number, take a picture of him/her or a video if possible. Then she has to take this information to the reception desk, fill out all the paperwork, pay the adoption fee which is around $122 and when he/she is sterilized, microchipped, vaccinated and licensed he/she will be allowed to go home with your mom forever. I sincerely hope that she finds the baby of her dreams very soon. Good luck to her.

How much to surrender a small dog with no shots??

Frank Aversa | Aug 20, 2018
Miriam Leon | Aug 19, 2020

You would have to pay around $30 to surrender him and give them a pretty good excuse for just getting rid of him without and iota of mercy! Are you dead serious?! You are getting rid of your poor dog simply because you don't want to pay a cent for his vaccinations?! You are absolutely, positively despicable! A dog is a family member not an old clock that you can simply throw in the dumpster because it is broken and you don't want to pay a penny to repair it or because you have just purchased a more modern one from amazon! Beware because tomorrow you can be the helpless one and others will donate you to a nursing home because you have become a nuisance! Not even god likes your cruelty! What goes around comes around! Never forget it!

ꨄCendy ꨄ | Aug 20, 2018
Miriam Leon | Aug 19, 2020

You would have to pay around $130 for the surgery plus $20 for the antibiotic and pain medication, as well as $20 for the Elizabethan collar so that she doesn't inadvertently reopen the wound in her effort to try to deal with the excruciating pain. As far as I know, they charge you for this surgery according to your dog's weight. They charged us $130 to spay our French poodel in 2016 and those $40 additionally for the collar, antibiotic and pain medication. But we went to north central animal shelter and took a DWP bill and an ID to request a voucher and they gave it to us. Maybe you can do the same thing here.

Donna Mullis | Aug 20, 2018
Miriam Leon | Aug 19, 2020

I have never heard such a thing. The only thing I have heard is that they want to shut down puppy mills because whoever is in charge of running these facilities exudes too much cruelty. For instance they keep the mothers in very small crates on top of each other and when they pee they wet one anothers' faces, they keep them inside the crates all the time with no food or water, and they don't give them a chance to have any contact with the outside world to name only a few. That is why the government wants the public at large to adopt from shelters or take in strays whenever possible so that the puppy mills can eventually go out of business and in this way they can do away with so much animal cruelty.
