I adopted a dog and was told that she was about 1 years old. We noticed our dog was having issues so we called the shelter for help, but they kept brushing us off and saying they would call us back. After calling multiple times and getting brushed off, they told us it was too late and that we waiting too long to call the shelter (even though we called multiple times and were told to wait for a call). So, we took her to the vet and they told us that she was actually 8 years old and had a lot of medical problems that the shelter did not make us aware of. These medical issues are important to address and when we called the shelter to see if they could help us but they simply told us to just return her as if she were an object.

Lovely place for potential adopters to socialize with the animals. I met my new kitty here. Please support adoptions and give shelter animals a chance :)

The staff are wonderful! They were very patient and welcoming. We were walk-ins, they told us about the doggies and gave us recommendations based on our lifestyle and other circumstances. They let us take the dogs out and interact with them. The facility is spacious and modern too. Although we did not adopt a dog immediately, we will be coming back when we're ready.

My sister adopted a beautiful kitten through their service. The foster family was very nice and helpful. We went to the shelter to finish paper work and the staff was polite and made sure everything was right.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Dustin Murray | Jan 5, 2022
Misty Malik | Jan 5, 2022

It's supposedly a no kill shelter, it's better to take the kitty in so they can help.

Would we have to call to see the cats in the shelter? Or can we walk in?

Isabella Medina | Dec 6, 2021
J. Patrick Mallahan | Dec 6, 2021

Walk right, sit right down, very helpful staff.

My son loves to pet a puppy, at the same time we don't want to adopt one now. Can he pet a puppy for just half a day or one day and try it out. If yes can he bring the pet to our home for a day (just from morning to evening)?

Magesh Natarajan | Sep 2, 2021
Sonia Fradkin | Feb 4, 2022

You can take an available dog on a day or half day field trip, including to your home. Usually not a very young puppy though as they don't usually have all their vaccines yet and demand to adopt them is usually very high.

Hi I’m going into my sophomore year in highschool and I have tons of experience with different types of animals and I was wondering if you guys offer volunteers work or small low paying jobs for teenagers?

Julianne | Sep 2, 2021

Found two feral kittens bn in our bnb yard, where is best place to take them.

Lucy Martinez | Sep 2, 2020
County of Santa Clara Animal Services | Sep 2, 2020

Hi, Lucy. It depends on where you live since shelters are jurisdictional. If you need help determining which shelter serves your area, give us a call at (408) 686-3900. That being said, we ask that you look after them until they are about 6 weeks until they are old enough for spay/neuter. At that time, if you live in our service area, you can make an appointment with us to get them fixed, microchipped and vaccinated (all free for found kitties). If they end up becoming socialized, we ask that you help to find them new homes. If they are still feral, fixing them will help prevent future litters.

Can I get required documents and paperwork to have my dog as my ESA here

Michael Bariteau | Sep 2, 2020
County of Santa Clara Animal Services | Sep 2, 2020

Hi, Michael. There is no certification for emotional support animals. Typically a note from your doctor will suffice for situations that allow emotional support animals.

Linda Riesenberg | Sep 2, 2020
