Press Release Contact: Humane Society Silicon Valley Holds Renewable Source of Happiness MILPITAS, Calif., May 3, 2010 – Going green? Meet your new best friend and adopt a renewable source of happiness at Humane Society Silicon Valley's (HSSV) Pet Adoption Event! Saturday, May 15 from 11 AM – 4 PM at HSSV's Animal Community Center, 901 Ames Ave., Milpitas. More than 20 rescue groups and shelters will participate in this event, featuring dogs, cats, rabbits, birds and “pocket pets,” such as guinea pigs, hamsters, and rats available for adoption. Additionally, HSSV will offer tips on how to “go green” with your pet and have environmentally-friendly toys and other products available to purchase in HSSV's Whole Pets Store. “We couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate HSSV’s one-year anniversary as a leading environmentally-friendly Animal Community Center than to hold an event honoring the most renewable sources of happiness we know, our pets!” said Chris Benninger, HSSV president. “When you adopt a pet from any animal shelter or rescue group, you not only save the life of the pet you are adopting, but creating space for another animal to be brought in and adopted by another loving family.” With that in mind, HSSV invited the following animal rescue groups to join us with their animal companions: Groups Bringing Animals Available for Adoption Groups Bringing Ambassadors for the Breed In addition to the opportunity to meet a wide array of adoptable pets, attendees can enjoy fresh food and smoothie offerings from Jamba Juice, pet-related giveaways from PETCO, and discount coupons for HSSV’s products and services, including dog park memberships, Whole Pet Store, training and medical services. Partnering in this pet adoption extravaganza are the Presenting Sponsors, PETCO Foundation and PETCO, and event sponsors: KBAY (94.5 FM) and KEZR (106.5 FM) radio stations, The WAVE Magazine, Milpitas Post and HSSV’s official dog park “turf” provider Heavenly Greens.
