The San Gabriel Valley Humane Society is dedicated to ensuring animals are supported through care, compassion, and community. We believe in creating a world where every animal is safe, loved, and valued.
Our journey began in 1924, when our founder, Fannie Thompson Kessler, established the organization as a fearless advocate for animal rights. Nearly a century later, we continue her legacy of kindness by providing essential animal care and control services to the communities of San Gabriel and Temple City.
As an open-access shelter, our doors are open to every animal in need of a second chance. We lead with empathy and kindness, ensuring that every pet receives the respect, protection, and consistent care they deserve while awaiting their forever home.
We believe that adopting a pet is the beginning of a beautiful partnership, and we are committed to helping you find the perfect match. Our dedicated team is here to support you with resources, behavioral advice, and guidance to ensure a smooth transition for your new family member.
Whether you are looking to adopt, volunteer, or simply learn more about our services, we invite you to be part of our compassionate community. Visit us at our San Gabriel campus or explore our website to discover the many ways we can help you and your pets thrive together.
