I love them! The staff is always so friendly and helpful whenever I've found wildlife that need assistance or stray pets in the past. They're very busy and have a huge amount of animals but are still going full steam to help. Great people here 💖

Of the many volunteers/employees for the intake, I found only a couple that I feel possess the skills of compassion and humanity all the time. You already know who you are… if you can’t be courteous to the human surrendering or asking for T&R, how do you instill their confidence in the level of services provided for the already neglected soul that they brought in??? Overall, you are still performing a great duty and maybe you’re overworked and stressed having to work with so many troubled helpless living beings so none the less wish I could give you more stars. Keep up the good work!!!

We adopted our husky/German shepherd mix here. My parents also adopted their Manchester terrier here. They are abused before they came to the shelter. The husky had a neck scar. The terrier had the end of the tail clipped. They are great pets. They are innocent. They are loyal. They gave us so much comfort, and joy. They deserve another chance.

Please volunteer here. They have so few staff that they are having to kill animals. Please help any way you can. Adopting animals from this shelter literally saves lives. When they don't have fosters to bottlefeed kittens, they have to kill them. They are so full they can't take in animals. They are killing record numbers of dogs and cats. They are under funded, under staffed and struggling. Please donate, foster, volunteer, adopt and write the Governor and City Council to request more funds for this shelter so they can stop killing animals.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

My 6 year son is fond of dogs ,but he never pet a dog. Can we visit the center to get him used to the dogs ? It helps hims to build confidence and may help him to adopt a dog later time.

Sid Annapragada | Aug 23, 2019
Philip Marshall (BOOMER67) | Aug 23, 2019

Absolutely! The whole idea of the Humane Society is to get people to come and adopt the animals that are there that have been hurt, abandoned, or surrendered due to circumstances beyond their owners control. I am quite sure both you and your son will have a great time, and who knows what might happen? 🇺🇸🇺🇸🤠🐧🐾🐾🤘🤙🙏🙏🙌🙌

Douglas MacKallor | Aug 22, 2020

I believe that the fees are listed on the website. But more importantly, be prepared for the total cost. There will be times that vet fees will be much greater than the adoption fees. But saving a soul and getting a great dog is priceless! Good luck!

Ann Higgins | Aug 23, 2019

Just fyi, though, I believe the free checkup is supposed to be used within the first week of ownership. Read the flyer to find out more about the offer. In this case, I think your kitten should be okay.

Yes they have a clinic once a month for low income people, it's on the last Saturday of every month. You'll want to go down there the night before and sign up but you can get your kiffen shots and checked out chipped and everything. They also give away all kinds of food and things you will need.

Douglas MacKallor | Aug 23, 2019

Your spirit is excellent. Good news, if a parent or guardian is willing to complete the training program, then you can volunteer along with them. If not, then you have to wait until your 18. But on its website, there is a link on how you can help animals in your community before you are 18. Such examples include foster homes, collect donations, making toys for dogs, etc. Good luck!

In answer to your question regarding vaccines, the shelter at 2750 Monterey Hwy has a clinic once a month. The next one is on the 23rd of Feb, and they gave my dog all her shots, dewormed her, and gave her a thorough check up. And then, they gave us dog food, treats, and some swanky new gear. Everyone there was sooo helpful!!! 5 stars, for sure!!! 🇺🇸⚓🤘🤙🐾🐾

The adoption animals do have all of their shots. If you are looking to get shots for your dog, they do not do that. On the first Saturday of the month there's a mobile clinic from 9 to 11. That's the only time you can get shots done at the shelter.

Michael Sunday | Jul 23, 2022
Alicia Strickland | Jul 23, 2022

I rescued a stray last Saturday, and they wouldn't take him because they were at capacity. So I took him to MedVet in Campbell because they're affiliated with a rescue shelter. You may just have to call around. Or put up an ad at local vets and pet stores saying you have some kittens you need to find homes for.

We have been feeding a cat’s mom with 5 tiny kitten, they are stray cats, I wish you can help and catch them, so someone can adopt them. I wish I can afford them also I am allergic to cats. I love animals,do you think you can help them?

Lena Kable | Jun 23, 2022
Alicia Strickland | Jul 23, 2022

I went there yesterday (7/9/22) because I was told I could get a cat trap ($75 rental fee, CASH, for one week--refundable when you return the trap) to rescue a stray. When the woman asked if I planned to bring the cat in, I said yes, and she said they weren't accepting strays unless they were sick or wounded. She advised me just to feed the cat but leave it out on the streets. So my neighbor and I caught the little guy, and I phoned MedVet, a 24-hour emergency pet hospital. The one in Campbell took the kitten because they're affiliated with a stray rescue organization. However, you will NOT find anyone willing to come rescue the cat/kittens for you UNLESS they're sick or injured. Apparently, rescuing healthy strays is not a priority of rescue organizations anymore. That task falls on YOUR shoulders.

Thirsty Hobo | Jun 23, 2022
Jaiden Athanassias | Jun 23, 2022

I'm sorry but you are part of the problem. Separate your guinea pigs and STOP allowing them to breed. What is wrong with you? Few people adopt them because they can get them at pet stores. You are making the over population problem worse. Over population is the number one killer of pets in the USA. More animals are killed at shelters every year than are killed by ALL OTHER CAUSES COMBINED. Every time you breed them, a corresponding number are killed in shelters. Be responsibe, animals are not disposable.

minteria henri | Dec 25, 2021
Maria Carmen Zavala-Morales | Dec 25, 2021

You call the center and they will answer any questions you have. They are very professional and they make any process less complicated to us that have very little knowledge of how to adopt surrender or just get vet care or what the animal we have needs to stay healthy. Please give the animal shelters near you a call. You will feel much better then letting the animal out on their own. Best wishes hope I helped you.

Then send an email to the address listed with the numbers of the pets you're interested in. They will call you after that to tell you more about the pet and set up an appointment. It's very easy and the staff are great.

Douglas MacKallor | Aug 22, 2020

If you are getting a dog for the whole family, then it really is a good idea to make sure its personality is compatible. Adopting a forever home dog is not an overnight sensation. Take your time. There will be plenty of good dogs to choose from.

my daughter was taken into custody she had her dog he went to the animal shelter i dont know what to do

Cheryl Zamora | Aug 22, 2020
buster martin | Aug 22, 2020

Call the shelter they will tell you what proof if any you might need I'm sure they are more than willing to help you get your daughters dog back to his family it's just as traumatic on the dog as it is your daughter I wish you all the best of luck and you will be in my prayers

Yoandraa Lovee | Aug 22, 2020
Douglas MacKallor | Aug 22, 2020

If you live in these areas: Residents* San Jose, Cupertino, Los Gatos, Milpitas, Saratoga then it's $15 for males and $20 for females. For nonresidents, it's $65 / $75. Your cat must be in excellent health and vaccinated. Vaccinations are available at the clinic. Extra fee if your cat is pregnant. See the website. Good luck!

Did you talk to a live person? My experience is that they are responsive. Maybe there's a dog rescue group that you can contact now. At least if you can safely do so give the dog some water and a little food (maybe a neighbor has some dog food available). Also post a picture on the app Nextdoor. Some good neighbor should be able to bring the poor dog in to start its way to finding its forever home. Good luck!

Is this a no kill shelter??

Chloe Jackman | Aug 23, 2019
Aminah Ameeri | Aug 23, 2019

There is no such thing as a no kill shelter. San Jose is a very good shelter that has achieved a 91% live release rate. Meaning 91% of the animals coming through the door have left alive where it was through adoptions, rescues pulling them, TNR or Working cat program. This is a county shelter that has to take in any animal in its district. They do an amazing job and try to save as many animals as they can.

Can I adopt a dog for a day??

Lena Tafff | Aug 23, 2019

Is this a no-kill shelter?

Spag hetti | Aug 23, 2019
Douglas MacKallor | Aug 23, 2019

Nearly no kill. Wounded animals and sometimes unwanted cats and rabbits go before their time. The Shelter does make every effort to give the little one a very good chance at getting a forever home.

Can you bring stray kittens here, and is there a fee?

Spag hetti | Aug 23, 2019
Douglas MacKallor | Aug 23, 2019

I am assuming that you would bring the stray kittens and surrender them for adoption? If yes, then there certainly no fees for doing the right thing. Bless you for saving little lives and helping them find their forever homes.

Do you have a male Alaskan malamute that is 1 month old because I am willing to buy him

Angie Blossom | Aug 23, 2019
Douglas MacKallor | Aug 23, 2019

You need to check the website, frequently. Instead of getting a pure bred, better to be in pursuit of a great dog. Partial Alaskan Malamute would have better health and less issues. There's plenty of dogs needing a forever home. Just come down and open your heart. See the potential. A great companion is just waiting for you. Good luck!

Is it illegal to keep a stray cat in your house without telling the shelter?

storme ehys | Aug 23, 2019

It would appear that the cat is no longer a stray cat if someone is caring for it. Licenses are not expensive and it's in everyone's best interest if the cat is vacinated and fixed. Good luck!

Q I need to be eligible to adopt a dog

Jesus Alvarado | Aug 23, 2019
Douglas MacKallor | Aug 23, 2019

Is this what you mean? WHAT do I need to be eligible to adopt a dog? You need to be a responsible adult who will unconditionally love AND care for your dog. You will need to live in a place that accepts dogs and be able to give your dog walks and outdoor privileges as needed. You must be willing to study and learn how to care for dogs and train dogs. You must have a lot of patience and understanding. It is like having a small child that always needs care. Most importantly is to know that giving a dog a forever home is a forever obligation. The fact that you asked is a good sign that you are at least near ready to share your life with a canine companion. Good luck!

Do you accept used animal items such as a cat tower?

Julie Heinrich | Aug 23, 2019

User home | Aug 23, 2019
Douglas MacKallor | Aug 23, 2019

There's a process. First, the shelter will make every effort to identify and then reunite the dog with its human. If there's no immediate human owner, the dog is examined and treated for any medical issue. Then the dog is assessed for human compatibility and if further socializing is needed as well as compatibility with other dogs. If fast tracked, then the dog could be ready for adoption in two or three weeks. Otherwise, it could take up to a couple of months. Hope that this helps.

Hi I have a 6 mouth old Pom and his eyes are red not bloodshot just red . I can’t afford to take him to get checked is there any place we’re they can do it for free by any chance ?

Sly Cooper | Aug 23, 2019
Douglas MacKallor | Aug 23, 2019

When you take on a soul into your life it is important that you provide for the little guy. Red eyes could range from allergies to glaucoma, which can lead to blindness. Cut out eating out, alcohol, movies, etc. You will be able to find the money. Most importantly, you can make your pet have a basic quality of life and you can live with yourself. To find a quality low-cost vet, ask caregivers at a dog adoption fair. They know which vets are both good and reasonable. Good luck. Your little guy is depending on you.

Joy Coit | Aug 23, 2019

I heard that stray cat was safely return to the same as address as I found (after surgery) but the cat is nowhere to be seen. I can only take care of the cat outside. Will cat come back to usual spot to get fed?

Chiharu | Aug 23, 2019
Cindy Torrez | Aug 23, 2019

Yes. Feral/strays are returned to location where they were trapped, after surgery. Usually 3-5 days after trapping. Sometimes the cat will show up right away, where it's used to being fed. Other times, it might take a wk +, as happened to a woman I know. When I, personally, released 'her' cat, it made an initial appearance (briefly) the next day, then she didn't see it for 8-9 more days. But the cat is now regular again. Just like before. All's right with her world again & no more babies to worry about in the future either. 🤗

After stray cats get fixed, they always get dropped off to the same address as the cats were found. Who is responsible of dropping off cats? Have they ever dropped of cats in the different address by mistake?

If the animal is microchipped, then they will give ample time to needed to reunite the pet with its humans. The Center will only allow an animal to be adopted once it is healthy and social enough to be with humans. The fastest route is about two weeks. But I would check with the Center.

E.V.E.R.!!! Who/whatever ur moving to Tenn for, is not right for you!

My old boy (dog) sports a doggie sweater because his hair won't grow back.

Jessica Williams | Aug 23, 2018

As long as the cats have been captured and fixed (they'll have a notch in one ear) it's the best for population control. They're actually great for keeping the rodent population down. If the cats are not fixed ask the neighbor to borrow a trap from the shelter to capture them safely and bring them in to the shelter.

Gina Oliva | Aug 23, 2018

Animal Control will come pick him up. Unfortunately it usually takes a while for them to get to you and unless their policy has changed you have to have him confined to a carrier,trap, or a room in your home so they know where he's at.... i think though that if you trap him, or bring him in a carrier, you can surrender him. I'm not a 100 on that part though.... good luck

Patty Dellinger | Aug 23, 2019

I’m a native Californian. I had a rescue in San Jose in 2004. I’m glad to see that the shelters are getting better, even though they have a ways to go. Although I haven’t lived in California since 2006, I still deal with this particular shelter on occasion. I was not impressed the last time I dealt with them. A tiny dog had gotten hit by a car and was turned in to them. I got a local rescue to pull her. I flew here to check to make sure she didn’t fall through the cracks and end up killed. They brought her to me caked in dried blood, and they warned me she was vicious. They stepped out of the cage very quickly, as soon as I opened the crate. The poor thing was in pain and weighed less than 3lbs. For someone who works in a shelter to be afraid of a 3lbs dog just baffled me. It had been two days and the doctor hadn’t even looked at her. No pain meds were given. I was very upset, took her out and gave her to a foster mom. Nothing too major wrong and she got adopted very quick.
