Have you wondered who to call, where to go, if you wanted to surrender or adopt an animal? Have you ever been interested in volunteering to help animals, or working at an animal shelter? Here is a partial list of places in Santa Clara County where I grew up. Please keep in mind that the philsophy, honesty, and quality of services varies from organization to organization, facility to facility.
| | Humane Society of Silicon Valley http://www.hssv.org/ |
| | San Martin Animal Shelter http://www.sccgov.org/portal/site/acc/ and Friends of San Martin Animal Shelter http://www.fosmas.org/ |
| | Stanford Cat Network http://catnet.stanford.edu/ A wonderful group that advocates adoption and TNR instead of mass killing |

| | Save Haven Animal Sanctuary http://www.safehavenanimalsanctuary.org/ |
| | Silicon Valley Animal Control Authority http://www.svaca.com/ |
| | Pets In Need http://www.petsinneed.org/ The first no-kill in the area. I have fond memories of the facility I visited as a child. |
| | San Jose Animal Care Center http://www.sanjoseanimals.com/ |
| | The Milo Foundation http://www.milofoundation.org/ |
| | South Bay Purebred Rescue http://sbprdogs.org/ I don't approve of breedism, but some people are fixated on having a purebred of some type |
