Our story begins more than 40 years ago, in the cold winter of 1958, when a small group of dedicated men and women turned their passion into a purpose. Quite simply, they loved animals. And they wanted to make our community a safer, healthier place for pets and people alike.
Adoption of a pet from the Bay Area Humane Society & Animal Shelter is a simple and easy process. We recommend that you plan to bring members of your household to meet and interact with the pet(s).
Visiting with animals can help people feel less lonely or
depressed. Visits from pets can provide a welcome change from routine, or
the renewal of old friendships. People become more active and responsive
both during and after visiting with animals..
