Valley Humane Society in Pleasanton, CA
Valley Humane Society is a humane society located in Pleasanton, California, in Alameda County, roughly 25 miles south of San Jose, CA — one of 26 other animal shelters and rescues also serving Alameda County. Founded in 1987, it has worked to create a brighter future for cats and dogs in the Tri-Valley, focusing on strengthening the bond between pets and people. It operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit funded by private donors rather than government dollars or national humane organizations, and runs programs including the Phil Scholz Veterinary Surgery Center, the AniMeals pet food program, humane education, and a Home to Home pet rehoming service alongside its dog and cat adoption programs.

Adopting from Valley Humane Society
Adoption process
Applicants review a pet's profile and submit an online application, after which an adoption counselor calls to discuss the match and schedules an in-person appointment (typically within 24-48 hours) to meet the pet, sign the adoption agreement, and pay the adoption fee; adopters must be at least 21 (or 18 with a co-adopter 21+) and provide legal ID.
