What's Happening at Palo Alto Humane Society

It's 2012! PAHS is planting seeds to grow a more humane planet.

Continuing our second century of humane work, PAHS is honored to have contributed to animal welfare in Palo Alto and throughout the mid-Peninsula since 1908. Looking to adopt? The local shelter is Palo Alto Animal Services, and they have many animals who need loving homes. Please call (650) 496-5971. Looking for gifts? Visit our art gallery and gift shop at 520 Santa Cruz Avenue, Menlo Park.
