We Love Our New Home!
The Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA had been in dire need of a new home for our programs, which save and change lives daily. With a final push from supporters, that home opened in September 2011 and has transformed our adoption program and visitor experience. Warm. Inspiring. Bright. Creative. Fun. These are words visitors are using to describe our new Tom and Annette Lantos Center for Compassion at 1450 Rollins Rd. in Burlingame. And, the animals are already benefitting. We have had multiple days placing 20+ shelter animals into new, permanent homes (the average # of adoptions per day from our Coyote Pt. facility was 10-11). And, adoptions are just part of what makes our new Center special. One of the commonly asked questions is “What is happening with your old facility at Coyote Point?” It’s still a vital part of our organization. Click here for a quick overview of programs, services and functions for our two sites. To learn about how our Lantos Center became a LEED-certified green building, click here.

Our 2nd floor Humane House is a unique 400 sq. foot learning/exploring center for kid and kids at heart.
 
The Humane House, features x-ray viewing, microchip scanning, a Sniff Zone where kids can test their noses to identify items, a dress-up area, a litter box scooping game and animals tips throughout.
 
Our third floor is all about cats. At any given time, 50-70 are awaiting new homes.

Personalized Bricks & Pavers

Personalized bricks and pavers are a great way to provide permanent recognition for a variety of occasions. Bricks/pavers are laser-engraved with wording of your choice and an optional graphic, and placed in our Path of Kindness that leads to our new Center for Compassion. Demonstrate your love for the animals, and reserve a piece of our shelter’s history!
