Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA
A Legacy of Compassion
The Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA is a private, non-profit organization dedicated to building healthy relationships between people and animals. Our mission is to save lives and support our community by providing essential care and finding loving homes for thousands of animals each year.
Our Commitment to Every Animal
As an open-admission shelter, we are here for every animal that needs us, regardless of age, size, or species. Through our charitably funded Hope Program, we provide medical care and nurturing for animals who arrive sick, injured, or too young to survive on their own. We are proud to find homes for 100% of our healthy and adoptable dogs and cats.
Care Beyond the Shelter
Our work extends far beyond our facility walls, as we operate an extensive foster network, wildlife rehabilitation programs, and community services like pet food banks and behavior training. Whether we are rescuing native wildlife or helping a family keep their beloved pet, our dedicated staff and volunteers work tirelessly to address the roots of animal homelessness and neglect. We rely entirely on the generous support of our community to fund these vital programs.
Finding Your Perfect Match
Adoption is a joyful partnership, and our team is committed to helping you find the right companion for your lifestyle. Our adoption counselors provide medical and behavioral insights for every animal, ensuring that you and your new pet start your life together on the best possible footing. We believe in the power of thoughtful matchmaking to create lasting, happy bonds.
