PHS/SPCA plays a significant role in advancing animal welfare in Silicon Valley. Some key statistics from 2022 include:
1. Leo's Transformation:
Leo, a 10-year-old pit bull, was surrendered to PHS/SPCA after his family could no longer care for him. He was withdrawn and had a history of aggression. PHS/SPCA staff provided him with a safe and loving environment, where he gradually came out of his shell. After working with a behaviorist, Leo learned to trust humans again. He was eventually adopted by a family who understood his special needs and provided him with the love and support he had been missing.
2. Roxy's Second Chance:
Roxy, a stray cat, was found injured and abandoned in a parking lot. PHS/SPCA's veterinary clinic treated her injuries and provided her with much-needed care. She was later adopted by a caring family who gave her a loving home where she could heal and thrive.
3. Lucy's Legacy:
Lucy, a senior dog, spent her final days at PHS/SPCA's hospice program. She was suffering from a terminal illness and needed around-the-clock care. The hospice team provided her with comfort and dignity in her final days. Lucy's story inspired a fundraising campaign that raised over $100,000 for the hospice program, ensuring that other sick or dying animals could receive compassionate end-of-life care.
PHS/SPCA relies on the support of the community to continue its vital work. There are several effective strategies for individuals and organizations to contribute:
