Your donation dollars at work... For those who don’t know, we are not an animal rescue, we are an actual open- admission, full- fledged animal shelter. Just like your public animal shelters except that we are a private nonprofit 501 C3 organizations. We have a clinic to provide medical services to animal in needs  and animal control officers that go out and rescue animals on the street.

Because of your generous and kind hearts, your donation to our shelter during the Strut Your Mutt campaign in the last 2 years have enabled us to buy a 1 year old animal transport van to replace the old one with over 250,000 + miles. The new vehicle will make our rescue effort faster and safer for our animal control officers and the animals in distressed alike. Thank you so much!

Hello, My name is Jackson Cooper.  I was known as Hoppy. I was a stray, injured on the street and left for dead until a group of good Samaritans picked me up and took me to the @sgvhumanesociety. My injury was so severe, they had to amputate my leg. Yes, I am a tripawd now. But please don’t feel too bad for me, @sgvhumanesociety took a really good care of me and even found me a safe and loving forever home. But many of my friends are still at the shelter and I want to help them. That’s why I am  joining  the “San Gabriel Valley Humane Society Team” for this year’s Strut Your Mutt event in October. Please join us or donate so they can keep helping all my friends that are left behind. Together we can make the difference. Thank you so much.

For this year’s Strut Your Mutt, please consider joining our team  and help us raise $20,000 to build the “Bark and Recreation Zone” for our big dogs to run, have fun, socialize and train.  The event will be held at the Exposition Park ( by USC) on October 22nd 2016.

We are strutting our mutts to raise $20,000.00 in order to raze our back lot and create an exercise and play yard for our big dogs to romp and roam and stretch their paws!

A fully fenced outdoor space with doggie turf, benches for their two-legged companions, shade canopy, splashing pool, plants, trees and a token fire hydrant to prepare them for life with their new family! Please help us make this possible! We regularly walk our dogs on a one-mile residential neighborhood loop, as often as we can, but they are still spending more time in their kennels than we’d like. If they walk for 30 minutes a day, that is still more than 23 hours a day in kennel.

Exercise alleviates cage stress for shelter dogs and improves adoptability.
