Valley Humane Society

Valley Humane Society Valley Humane Society creates a brighter future for cats and dogs by encouraging and strengthening the bond between people and pets.

Our Vision:

A world in which every animal is loved and every person knows the love of an animal. Our Values:

Compassion- Kindness is at the core of our mission. At VHS we treat everyone with respect and understanding. Animals at VHS are treated individually with the sensitivity and caring they deserve. Companionship- Everyone deserves a friend. VHS creates opportunities for people to experience

the love of a pet, as well as connect with others. We believe that life lived as part of a loving family is richer, happier, and more fulfilling. Optimism- VHS is a warm, happy place, a feeling reflected by the well-being of the animals in our care. We believe visiting, volunteering, and working here should be a fun, positive experience, a vibe we carry out with us into the community. Our good spirits cultivate enthusiasm for our mission and keep us hopeful when things get challenging. Gratitude- We appreciate the many talents brought to bear by our volunteers and staff to achieve our mission. The mental, physical, and emotional gifts offered to VHS are as important as the financial contributions, both large and small, of our many donors. We recognize that these gifts, taken together, are what allow us in turn to serve the animals and people of our community. Collaboration- The task before us is greater than any one person. Our relationships with the community, business, and other rescue organizations increase our capacity and amplify our impact. We work together to achieve a common goal. At VHS we lead the way by actively cultivating cooperative partnerships. Integrity- Our path is paved with more than good intentions. At VHS we strive to act with integrity and honesty. Decisions are based on sound judgment and careful reasoning. We are fiscally responsible and understand our commitment to our animals, donors, volunteers, and community.

City of Pleasanton's newest Ambassadog, Jeter Ball, has taken office!

Last night the City Council issued a proclamation naming Jeter as the City of Pleasanton's 2025 Ambassadog. He was presented with a declaration by the City Council alongside his mom, Bennett Ball, whose generous donation at the Valley Humane Society Tails for Twilight gala last year scored this incredible opportunity. Jeter will also be featured in the City's Hometown Holiday Parade!

The City of Pleasanton recognizes that creating a livable community means supporting the entire household. For those canine family members, Pleasanton offers dog-friendly policies, trails, and parks—including Jeter’s favorite playground, Cubby’s Dog Park. Past Ambassadog titles have been awarded to Winston Burke, Stella James, Gryphon Benn, and Jeffrey Williams.

Join us in giving Jeter a round of a-paws 🐾 as he embarks on his esteemed new role!

Sherlock - My wife and I got Sherlock as a kitten in late 2020 when we were newly married. He lived with us and our older Shih Tzu dog. We had our first baby in spring of 2023 and a few weeks later our Shih Tzu passed. We feel Sherlock took the life changes hard, as that marked a change in his behavior. He had always been very loving, spending lots of time around us and with our small dog.

Lady Grey – The Lady Grey is healthy, friendly, spayed, and box-trained. She is a sweet and gentle former-housecat who was dumped in our neighborhood, then had a litter of kittens in our yard. We have since had her fixed and vaccinated for rabies. She is affectionate and very friendly, including rubbing on people's ankles and sitting politely for treats.

Ollie - Ollie is a 120lb GSD who is an absolute love. He needs lots of walks and to be someone's best friend. He's so handsome and is gentle with kids. His current owners have realized they are not the right fit for him due to not being home enough. He was previously in an abusive home and then kept in a laundry room and then tied up. Currently he has free reign at his home and sleeps in dog beds.

Rocko - Meet Rocko!! He is a Shepherd-Husky mix who wants to be your new adventure buddy and faithful friend. I adopted him 5 years ago. Due to life changes I am no longer able to keep him. Rocko likes to be around people. He will bark when someone comes over but is not aggressive. He does great on a leash and loves most other dogs, especially small dogs.

Aries - We are extremely sad to post our love-dog, Aries. With my son going to the Navy and myself working full-time we are no longer able to give him the attention he needs. Aries is very friendly and loving. Our boy will be two in July; he's about 65lbs and up to date on all his shots.

Ivy - We need to rehome one of our dogs, Ivy. We’ve been trying for 2 years but she just doesn’t get along with our other dog. She’s a sweet, low-maintenance girl who sleeps 70% of the day but needs to be the only pet in the house. The vets think she's around 5-6 years old. My top priority is finding her a comfortable, permanent home with lots of love.

Thyme - 7-week-old blue male puppy. He only has a little white at the top of his back paw. Very energetic. Eats and drinks on his own. Very alert. Pictures of parents and a few of the siblings are shown. I'm not allowed to have all the puppies. We were waiting to get the parents fixed. Parents have very good temperaments.

Maize - Maize is a generally chill, but always down to play little lady (10-11 years old). She was originally a rescue that we brought into our family 6 years ago. While it took a bit to get her into a comfort zone, she quickly became a part of our pack. Not only that, we realized that she absolutely loves people - she's a little star of the show.

Zander - Zander is a great family dog. He has been raised with my small children since he was 11 weeks old. He sleeps indoors but spends his days outside. He does well with known guests that come over, but he does have anxiety with new people which causes him to gently growl. He gets along with our family cat but he doesn't seem to get along with other dogs that he does not know.

Meet Neo! Neo craves time spent with people, usually finding a way to make himself comfortable on your lap! Despite his size, Neo is a lap dog through and through and he’s on a heat-seeking mission to find yours. Neo is friendly and happy to meet new people despite coming from a difficult existence in his previous home. Neo was significantly underfed and now has quite the appetite; not only for food, but a better next chapter! Neo loves his toys; he is so happy chewing on a favorite ball or playing tug with a human friend. Neo is an adult dog (estimated to be aged between 4 and 7 years old) and weighs 41 pounds. #adoptme #dogsofinstagram #valleyhumanesociety #adoptabledogs #adoptabledogs #adopt

Plus, it’s a lifesaving way to help control pet populations. 📢 The Phil Scholz Veterinary Surgery Center at Valley Humane is accepting spay/neuter appointments! 🏥🐾 Our specialized team is ready to provide expert care for your pet. Book your pet’s appointment today and give them a healthier, happier future! 💙 Visit valleyhumane.org to learn more. #WorldSpayDay #SpayNeuterSavesLives #HealthyPetsHappyHomes #ValleyHumaneSociety

Live from Valley Humane, it's time to adopt a dog! 🐕 We have 11 happy hounds ready to meet you this weekend. Visit us in Pleasanton from 10a to 4p and find a new best friend. 🤎 Feel free to skip the bloopers...we are recruiting a new cameraman 😉

Lady Dracula came to Valley Humane in early January 2025. After being spayed at the Phil Scholz Veterinary Surgery Center, Lady Dracula spent a few weeks with a loving foster before being adopted by her new family. She's settled in well and is enjoying her new life. Her new guardian had this to say, "We adopted Lady Dracula (now “Luna”), and she has been the perfect addition to our family. Luna is smart, easy to train, and loves to cuddle. She has lots of energy and likes to run with the kids and go on long walks. She was a little leery about car rides at first, but with her car seat that allows her to see out of the window, she’s now the first in line to get to the car. We love her so much, and appreciate you all for finding such a perfect match for our family."

Meet your new sweetheart ❤️ 🩷 🤍 at Valley Humane Society and @pleasanton_groceryoutlet this weekend! All dogs 🐕 and cats 🐈 aged over 5 months can be adopted for just $14. Find your perfect Valentine 💝 at the shelter on Fri-Sat 10a-4p or at Grocery Outlet in Pleasanton on Saturday 11a-3p.
