San Gabriel Valley Humane Society
Our Mission
The San Gabriel Valley Humane Society is committed to ensuring animals are supported through care, compassion, and community. We believe every animal deserves a place of safety and healing, and we work daily to provide that foundation for pets in need.
Our History
Our organization was founded in 1924 by the fearless trailblazer Fannie Thompson Kessler, who served as a passionate advocate for animal rights. Nearly a century later, we continue her legacy by providing essential animal care and control services to the cities of San Gabriel and Temple City.
Our Open-Access Promise
As an open-access shelter, our doors are always open to every animal in need from our community, regardless of their health or background. We prioritize compassion, providing a second chance to the dozens of stray, abandoned, or homeless pets who come into our care each day. Our team works tirelessly to offer a space of safety and consistent care, grounded in the belief that every animal deserves a better future.
Your New Best Friend
Adopting a pet is a joyful, life-changing partnership that benefits both the animal and your home. We invite you to browse our current pets in our care and see the amazing personalities waiting to meet you. By choosing to adopt, you are helping us advance animal welfare and fostering a more humane community.
