About this shelter

Palo Alto Humane Society in Menlo Park, CA

Palo Alto Humane Society has been a tradition of compassion since 1908, with a mission to inspire the community to engage humanely with animals. Based in Menlo Park, California, in San Mateo County, it operates alongside 7 other animal shelters and rescues in the county, and sits roughly 20 miles southeast of San Jose.
