The Silicon Valley Animal Control Authority (SVACA) provides around the clock animal care and control services for the residents of Campbell, Los Gatos, Monte Sereno, Mountain View, and Santa Clara. SVACA's services and programs include the care of sick, injured, lost, and abandoned companion animals, animal cruelty investigations, adoptions, education and outreach programs, volunteer and foster programs, and much more.

We work to provide a superior level of compassionate care for all living beings at our cageless Animal Care Center in Santa Clara. With the support of the Friends of SVACA, our nonprofit counterpart organization, we achieved a 99% live release rate in 2024, which aligns with no-kill shelter standards.

Friends of SVACA is dedicated to amplifying SVACA’s impact by raising funds for key programs like the Spay and Neuter Voucher Program, which helps residents facing financial hardship, the Pawsitive Outcomes program, which covers the costs of special needs care, and a variety of community outreach initiatives.
