Have you found kittens?

 

Are you missing your pet?

HSSV houses stray animals from the city of Sunnyvale. If you believe your pet was lost in a city other than Sunnyvale, make sure to check all local shelters in the area.

HSSV will hold onto stray felines without identification for a minimum of three days and stray canines without identification for a minimum of five days. This hold period is extended if the animal has a microchip or if the animal is wearing a license tag and/or a personalized name tag. After the hold period ends, animals are considered a candidate for adoption.

All of HSSV’s current Sunnyvale stray animals are posted onto Finding Rover.

Our suggestions for helping to find your lost pet are as follows:

Visit all local shelters

  • Come down to HSSV’ Pet Surrender Lobby  for a Lost Tour. Our staff will take you on a tour of Sunnyvale stray animals currently housed at HSSV, help you fill out a Lost Pet Report, and discuss tips for helping you to find your animal!
  • Don’t just stop at HSSV – visit all local shelters in the area to file a lost pet report and search for your missing pet.

Report the animal to HSSV
