Human Animal Support Services’ Post

Community, community, community... I'm going to keep saying it for the people in the back! One of the best ways shelters can support pets AND people is by using tools like ecosystem mapping to figure out what's already readily available at their finger tips. See the resource below and let me know what you think!

Myth: If you adopt a pet, you'll have to deal with a lot of behavioral problems. Truth: Most pets in shelters are there due to circumstances unrelated to their behavior.

𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗥𝗬 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗬. Behind every stray is a story of survival, of resilience, and of a longing for love. Today, we recognize that these animals are not just looking for shelter; they’re searching for a family, for a chance to give and receive the unconditional love that only a pet can offer. Research shows that adopting a pet can significantly reduce stress and increase happiness in humans. But the impact goes both ways. By opening your heart and home, you’re not just saving a life, you’re transforming your own in ways you never imagined.

As we continue to explore the City Service Areas in the Year in Review video series, Chapter 3 focuses on Neighborhood Services. City leaders share how we are working as One Team with the community to combat vehicle blight and assure cleaner neighborhoods; how the City encourages youth to be future leaders; how the San José Public Library provides free community WiFi to 200,000 households in under-connected neighborhoods; and how the Animal Care and Services Center staff provide services to residents and cares for thousands of animals every year. Don’t forget to come back for Chapter 4! #WeAreSanJose #SanJose
