Hailey has been part of HSSV's Adoptions team since 2019, often the first face people see when they're adopting for the first time. 🐾

"I've loved animals my whole life, and I get how big this moment feels." Hailey shares. "I'm here to make sure people feel prepared and supported."

Some come in confident. Others bring pages of questions. Hailey meets them where they are, offering guidance every step of the way.

Because at HSSV, adoption isn't the end of the story. It's where the relationship begins.

Happy tails! 🐾 Luca, now Courage, just celebrated his one-year adoption anniversary. His adopter shared this sweet update:

"We've since renamed Luca to Courage after our favorite cartoon. He's bonded fully with both of us and makes friends with almost every dog he meets. We couldn't imagine a more perfect dog. There's nothing like spending our evenings cuddling after a nice long hike together." - Jessica.

Have you heard about the 3-3-3 Rule? 🐾

It's a simple, helpful guide to ease the transition for you and your newly adopted pet. 🏡❤️

At HSSV, we know that every adoption is the start of something special. But building trust takes time. Pets are creatures of habit, and a brand-new environment can feel overwhelming at first.

The 3-3-3 Rule gives you a simple way to understand what your pet may be feeling and how to support them as they adjust. It's not just about settling in. It's about building a bond that lasts.

Planning a visit to HSSV? Head to https://www.hssv.org/adopt/how-to-adopt/ for more helpful tips and answers to common adoption questions.

We hope to see you soon! 🐶🐱

Estrella's the kind of pup who blossoms with connection. With a little time (and a few treats), she'll be your most loyal sidekick. 🐾

At just 6 months old and 32 pounds, Estrella is the perfect age to grow into your routine, whether it's training, playtime, walks, or quiet time together. She's sweet, curious, and soaking it all in. Meet her here: hssv.org/estrella

Estrella would do best with older, dog-savvy kids and people who understand that puppies need consistency and care. She's eager to learn and just needs someone to show her how.

She's waiting for that person. Could it be you? 💛🐶

About Us

Humane Society Silicon Valley (HSSV) has been serving people and pets in Silicon Valley for over 85 years. Having facilitated more than half a million animal adoptions, HSSV is leading the charge for animal welfare through community education programs, creative marketing techniques and effective homeless animal prevention strategies. HSSV also offers quality adoptions, affordable spaying/neutering, vaccinations and microchipping services, and pet care services to enhance the human-animal bond. HSSV’s mission is to save and enhance lives, both two-legged and four-legged.

In 2017, HSSV became the first “model shelter,” an achievement accomplished by meeting over five hundred guidelines for standards of animal care set by the Association of Shelter Veterinarians. At the heart, being a model shelter means that we’re committed to the well-being of animals while they are in our care - both physical and emotional - and we work hard to set them up for success with their future families.
