Humane Society Silicon Valley (HSSV) faced significant challenges following a fire at its Milpitas facility on December 16. The damage was more extensive than initially expected, with over half of the facility rendered unusable. Key areas affected included the medical center and a large portion of both cat and dog housing. Despite these setbacks, HSSV successfully placed over 130 animals into homes and continues to operate some services, partnering with other shelters for animal care during the repair period. The organization is actively working to secure necessary equipment, but delays are anticipated.
