Many animal lovers don't realize that Make-A-Wish Greater Bay Area and SVACA are thriving non-profits that support the homeless. The two organizations work hand in hand to help strays in need find forever homes. Donations are a great way for you to support these organizations. These organizations are dedicated in serving San Jose and providing a safe, loving home for stray animal.

Services provided by SVACA
Two local animal shelters joined forces to form one large organization. SVACA provides 24-hour care for animals in Mountain View and Palo Alto. They also work with the Palo Alto Animal Control Office. SVACA is able to use a new facility while the Palo Alto facility dates back to the 1970s and needs expensive upgrades. Both shelters are dedicated to serving the same geographic area, and the new SVACA contract would give them more time to focus on animal-related crime.
SVACA's Animal Assistance Fund
The Animal Assistance Fund, which is administered by SVACA, helps expand the animal shelter's services as well as provide rehabilitative medical care for injured and sick animals. We can save lives with your help. We can't do this alone. Please consider donating immediately to SVACA’s Animal Assistance Fund. Every dollar counts. A homeless animal's life is saved by your generosity!
FAQ
What is pet coverage?
Pet Insurance provides financial protection when your pet is injured or becomes sick. It also covers routine veterinary care such as vaccinations, spaying/neutering, and microchipping.
In addition, it pays for emergency treatment if your pet gets into an accident or becomes ill.
There are two types of Pet Insurance:
-
Catastrophic Insurance - This insurance covers medical expenses for your cat if it sustains severe injuries.
-
Non-catastrophic: This covers routine vet costs such as microchips and spays/neuters.
Some companies offer both catastrophic and non-catastrophic coverage. Others provide only one.
To cover these costs you will need to pay a monthly Premium. The amount depends on how much you spend on your pet's care.
The price of insurance depends on which company you choose. Do your research before purchasing.
Many companies offer discounts for multiple policies.
You can transfer an existing pet insurance plan from another company to a new one.
If you do not want to buy pet insurance, you'll need to make all of the payments.
There are still many ways to save money. Ask your veterinarian about discounts.

Before giving your dog different food types, always consult your veterinarian.
Should I get a puppy or a kitten?
It all depends on who you really are. Some people like kittens while others prefer puppies.
However, puppies tend be more active and playful. Kittens often sleep a lot and can be very gentle.
Both breeds of animal require constant attention from their owners. They will be able to grow quickly and require lots of care.
They will also require regular medical checkups. So, you'll need to spend time taking them to the vet.

Yes! It is important to spay and neuter your dog.
It helps reduce unwanted puppies and reduces the risk for certain diseases.

Also, spaying or neutering your pet will prevent her from having children.
What do you do if your dog bites somebody?
First, make sure the animal isn't rabid if you are attacked. If that is not possible, get help. Do not attempt to handle the situation yourself, as you could become seriously injured.
If the animal does bite but is not aggressive, you should take it to the veterinary clinic. Your vet will inspect the animal and recommend any further treatment.
Most cases will require rabies shots. These should never be administered by you. Only a qualified person should be able to do this.

How To
How to train a pet canine
A pet dog is an animal companion who provides companionship and emotional support for its owner. It may protect its owner from predators and animals.
The owners of a pet dog should train it to fetch items, protect against intruders, obey commands and perform tricks.
The typical training period lasts from six months to two and a half years. During this time, the owner teaches the dog basic obedience skills, including how to sit, lie down, stay, come when called, walk on command, and roll over. The owner also teaches the dog how to use basic commands and to respect the dog's natural instincts.
In addition to teaching the dog these basic behaviors, the owner should teach the dog not to bite people or other animals and to respond appropriately to strangers and other unfamiliar situations.
