Since the release of the Chihuahua movie, we've seen a huge influx of these little dogs surrendered to shelters. Many of the puppies we've rescued from public shelters have been surrendered, likely by back yard breeders, due to hernias. Rather than fix the hernia surgically, these little babies get dumped at the shelter when they are typically too young to make it on their own!

Binky is just one of many sweet but obese cats whose life has been saved by prescriptions foods and care from HSSV. Binky’s story: Binky, a ten-year-old whie, male cat came into our shelter weighing a whopping 23lbs 8½ oz. He was so obese that it was very difficult for our vets to be able to palpate his internal organs to make sure they were of normal size or to detect any other abnormalities in the abdomen. Binky also had lameness of the front legs attributed to the stress placed on them from his excessive weight. Binky’s eyes were squinty and crusted with discharge making it almost impossible to see that he has beautiful blue eyes. We found this was because his eyelashes were rubbing on his corneas due to the fat on his face, causing his eyelids to roll inward. Our vets felt that with proper weight loss, Binky’s illnesses might correct themselves. Since being at the shelter, Binky has been on a special diet of w/d canned food and r/d dry food in strict amounts. With this diet and some exercise now that he is feeling better, Binky has been able to slowly lose more than 13% of his body weight . We hope you’ll help us raise the necessary funds to supplement our usual budget for this special food that helps us save so many precious lives!

Sheba is a sophisticated 8 year old cat who landed at Humane Society Silicon Valley (HSSV) after living with one family her whole life. She's been at HSSV for over 8 months, and we're working hard to keep her healthy, social and contented. HSSV believes that every adoptable animal deserves a chance for a new home, regardless of age or breed, and it is expensive to care for animals for long periods of time! Show the community that Sheba is valued by others, not just HSSV staff and volunteers by sponsoring her condo for $500. We'll post the sponsoring friends on a special certificate on Sheba's condo for one year!
