Project Info

Humane Society Silicon Valley needs some help with a special project! At our current facility, when a person in the community brings their pet to us because they can't keep him or her anymore, we currently end up doing a character assessment right in the lobby before taking the animal!

This is stressful for the animal and frequently, we don't really get an accurate idea of the personality of the animal before taking him or her in. We want all of the animals who come to us for care to have the opportunity for a positive experience with us when they first come to us - and we don't want them to be scared and confused. Having a special character evaluation center will be step one in easing the transition into HSSV's care.

Hello everyone!
We've raised $980 for this $3,500 project!!!! Even though we haven't raised all of the money for the project, we know it's important enough that we had to just go ahead and start it. We are just desperate for a quiet place to do these initial assessments. If you've ever been to our building, you know what I mean - we're just cramming every little bit of life saving we can into every nook and cranny.

So we rented big dumpsters and have been ripping out walls and such - it would be great if we could raise more money to cover the costs of getting this area built.

Won't you help?
