Rescue FAQs

Valley Humane Society (VHS) is working to create a brighter future for cats and dogs by encouraging and strengthening the bond between people and pets. Beyond rescuing and rehabilitating abandoned companion animals, VHS supports and preserves existing pet-guardian relationships through pioneering partnerships with groups like Hope Hospice and Bay Area food banks. VHS Canine Comfort teams share the soothing affections of pets with those who need it most, and our humane education programs for children and scouts champion responsible pet caretaking. Our vision of a world in which every animal is loved and every person knows the love of an animal can be achieved by continuing to work hand in hand with the community, bringing together compassionate, dedicated people for the good of all. Whether you’d like to adopt an animal, share your passion for pets, or meet like-minded people, VHS is Your Means to a Friend™. We invite you to join us! VHS is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that receives no government funds, tax dollars, or money from national humane organizations. Our programs and services are available because of the generosity of caring and compassionate private donors.
Valley Humane Society (VHS) has been saving the lives of dogs and cats in the Tri-Valley since 1987. Our primary service area covers Pleasanton, Livermore, Dublin, San Ramon, and Danville, though pet adopters are welcome from any locale!

Additional adoption info

How It Works
Potential adopters can read an animal’s profile to determine if the pet would be a good fit for their home and lifestyle. Copy and paste the application URL from the animal’s profile or click to apply.
Once the application is received, an adoption counselor will call to discuss the match. Be ready to answer the call from Valley Humane as soon as your application is submitted.
Animals shown on our website are ready to go home. We typically schedule an adoption appointment within 24-48 hours of approving an application where you can meet the pet and complete paperwork.
Once you’ve decided a pet is the right fit for your family, the adoption counselor will walk you through our adoption agreement. All pertinent medical information will be provided to you, as well as a take-home packet including information on feeding your new pet. We will also verify that the animals’ microchip is accurate and prepare them for travel. Finally, we will collect the adoption fee. Please allow approximately one hour to complete the adoption process.
After taking a quick picture to share on social media (optional, of course!), you’re ready to head home and start enjoying life with your new friend
