Our mission is to end the suffering of wild animals in captivity, rescue individual animals in need, protect wildlife — including highly endangered species — in their natural habitats, and encourage compassionate conservation globally.

The mission for Humane Society Silicon Valley (HSSV) is "To save and enhance lives...both four-legged and two-legged". HSSV has a new Animal Community Center in Milpitas that is game-changing for animal welfare: dogs, cats, and rabbits live in condos and habitats, not cages or kennels. It's comfortable for people to come and take their time finding their perfect pet. HSSV doesn't euthanize based on time or space, so adoptable animals stay there until they find a home. HSSV has a great education program for children, but also classes for adults, and for dogs (training). And they have a great spay/neuter clinic, helping to reduce future pet homelessness. It's a top-notch organization with programs that other animal welfare organizations are now striving to replicate.

Our mission is to end animal exploitation, cruelty, and abuse by protecting and advocating for the rights, welfare, and habitats of animals, as well as to raise their status beyond mere property, commodities, or things.
