"I just adopted my little guy on Sunday, February 18th! I was not expecting to meet him, but after some encouragement from the helpful staff who thought he would be perfect for me to meet, I agreed to meet him! He was formally known as “Sizzle” at the HSSV, but I renamed him Charlie. It’s been 5 days now, and I’m just so happy with him. Waking up to him is such a joy. Within the last few days, we’ve gone on lots of walks, had a vet check-up, had lots of play time, and plan to have a visit to the groomers. He’s this bundle of energy that loves his toys! I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you. Thank you so much for providing me with my happy fur baby. My family and I love him so much! He has brought so much happiness to our home, and I’d like to think it’s the same for him too as we experienced his “zoomies” here!! Thank you Margaret for our meet & greet, and thank you Denise for helping process the adoption forms and answering any questions I had. Thank you to the staff who helped encourage me to meet him as well. Everyone was so patient and helpful. I’m truly so grateful! I have attached some updated photos here of our time together so far! Thank you!!!!"

"My husband and I adopted our first baby together on Thursday, Feb 16th 2024. Her name was sweet dee, she's so sweet so lovely she's loves her brother too, thank you! You guys are the best! We appreciate all you guys do there. Taking good care of those animals."

"A very clean and friendly shelter environment, with proper partitions and living supplies for cats/kittens, dogs/puppies and pocket pets (eg rabbit). It allows potential adopters to interact with animals with high flexibility and get to know them better. They have a well-established foster program and systematic management for these rescued animals. It is highly recommended for individuals with adoption or rescue needs to come here. It's definitely worth a visit if you are in the bay area."

"Such nice people work there. Very clean. All the animals are attended to. They have extra support for after adoption. You can come and get food if you need it. Puppy training. We found our furever baby there he was spayed, microchipped, registered, first vaccinations, dewormed. We adopted a puppy named Stanley. Filled our families heart after the passing of our previous doggie. Since then our Stanley dog finished all his shots even his lepto. We do the 30mile dog walk for St JUDES children's hospital. We walk 1-2 miles or more a day. He is living his best life. Shout out to Milpitas animal shelter!"

"What a great place to find a family pet. We adopted our first puppy from here today and all of the staff took great care of us. We were able to walk in and see what puppies they had available (didn’t have an appointment, so I’m glad it wasn’t busy at the time). We checked their website in advance but once we found a puppy we liked online, it seemed like they were listed as adopted afterwards. So we just decided to go have a look in person. We visited with 3 different puppies, and left with an adorable new family member. They even have a small pet store there, which came in handy because we didn’t think we’d leave with our puppy the same day (so we needed some basic supplies). If you’re looking to adopt a new pet then definitely consider going here."
