PLEASE DON'T SURRENDER YOUR PETS!

Read this message from our board member Leigh Glerum, DVM, SAGE Veterinary Centers – Redwood City:

As of this time, there is no evidence that the COVID-19 virus can be transmitted from household pets to their human family members. There is also no current evidence that household pets can become ill from the COVID-19 virus.

It is always a good idea to practice good hygiene when interacting with your pets, particularly if you are ill or if they are ill.

For the latest CDC recommendations regarding COVID-19 and animals, please refer to the following website:

The Palo Alto Humane Society is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit, charitable, volunteer-supported organization. PAHS is one of the few humane societies nationwide with no animal shelter. Instead of managing animals inside a shelter, we work to keep animals out of the shelter through humane programs in intervention, advocacy, and education. For a century, our mission has been to alleviate the suffering of animals, increase public sensitivity to animal issues, and elevate the status of animals in our society.
