Here at San Gabriel Valley Humane Society we:

• Scan each animal for a microchip (or visible tag) and attempt to return the animal to its owner.​

• Provide both a medical and a behavioral evaluation of each in care animal upon arrival.​

• Facilitate the adoption of all healthy and adoptable animals into permanent, loving homes. Occasionally we reach out to animal rescue organizations to ensure an optimal placement for the animal. In a few situations animals with untreatable health or behavioral issues may be humanely euthanized.​

• Offer a low cost vaccination and spay/neuter clinic to the public. Encouraging responsible pet ownership, we help make pet ownership affordable.​

• Provide Animal Control services for the cities of Duarte, San Gabriel and Temple City.​

• Provide educational programs for local schools and community groups regarding animals and animal sheltering programs.​

• Work with Scouting and community volunteer groups to provide volunteer opportunities that provide educational and leadership experiences while helping the shelter and the animals.
