The Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA (PHS/SPCA) stands as a testament to compassion and dedication in animal welfare. As a local, private non-profit organization, PHS/SPCA has etched its mark not just in the community but also in the hearts of numerous animals and their human companions.
At the core of PHS/SPCA's mission is a commitment to provide a sanctuary for animals in need. The organization prides itself on a remarkable achievement: ensuring 100% adoption of all healthy, adoptable dogs and cats that come into their care. This milestone is a reflection of their unwavering dedication to every animal that crosses their threshold.
Beyond adoption, PHS/SPCA’s Hope Program plays a crucial role in nurturing animals back to health. This charitably funded initiative extends a lifeline to thousands of pets that arrive sick, injured, or too young to fend for themselves. Through this program, countless lives are not only saved but are also given a chance for a loving home.
Embracing the philosophy of an open admission shelter, PHS/SPCA stands apart by welcoming a wide array of animals. This includes not only pet animals that might be turned away elsewhere but also injured and orphaned native wildlife, ensuring they receive the care and rehabilitation they need.
The work of PHS/SPCA is recognized and accredited by esteemed organizations, highlighting their excellence in animal care. They are one of the few shelters in California accredited by the American Animal Hospital Association and have earned a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator. Additionally, their commitment to transparency and effectiveness is underscored by their Platinum-level GuideStar Exchange participation.
With almost 5,000 lives saved each year, the Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA is more than just a shelter; it's a beacon of hope and a hub of compassionate action, making a profound difference in the lives of animals and the community at large.
