New, Environmentally Friendly Animal Center
Earlier this month, HSSV opened the doors of its new Animal Community Center in Milpitas. The one-of-a-kind facility -- the nation's first environmentally-certified "green" animal shelter to offer an adoption program with a full spectrum of pet and community services under one roof -- represents a radical shift in thinking about sheltering. Animals are housed in cage-less habitats that resemble rooms in homes in order to reduce animal stress and enable real world training opportunities.
