We are also the first animal community center in the nation to receive Gold LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. We are passionate about and guided by our five core initiatives: • Preventing unwanted births • Treating and rehabilitating animals • Finding homes for animals • Helping people to keep their pets • Educating youth and community members Through these initiatives, HSSV gives animals in our community more than a home, we give them a second change for a better life.
