Did you know that we help nearly three quarters of our adoptable animals overcome medical challenges in our Shelter Medicine department before they can be adopted? Medical care is just one of many ways the SF SPCA has made a difference in the lives of thousands of animals every year for the last 153 years.
As an independent, local nonprofit, we rely on charitable giving to help animals and their people. Donations from people like you ensure animals like those in the windows receive the help they need and the loving homes they deserve. Give today and your gift will be matched.
Macy’s flagship stores–including New York City’s Herald Square–are internationally renowned and preeminent destinations for tourists.
With the collective support of our customers and employees, Macy’s builds community and helps make a difference in every market served, supporting local and national charities by giving nearly $25 million and more than 30,000 hours of volunteer service in 2020 alone.
For more than 160 years, Macy’s has, and continues to, make life shine brighter for our customers, colleagues, and communities.
Many thanks to our longtime supporter, Nestle Purina PetCare Company.
Purina believes pets and people are better together, which is why they support events like Holiday Windows. Purina supports the SF SPCA’s mission to put pets and the people who love them together every day.
Purina generously donates all of the food and litter for the 5,000+ animals at the SF SPCA waiting for loving people like you to take them home. Meow, woof, thank you Purina!
We are excited to have celebrated our 35th year of this time-honored tradition and our 20th year of partnership with Macy's Union Square.
Macy’s was the first department store to feature Christmas window displays and has been enchanting generations of spectators since the early 1870’s. R.H. Macy began the tradition of animated windows in 1899 at Macy’s original 14th Street location in New York, and started the tradition in San Francisco.
Nearly 10,000 dogs and cats have found new homes from the Holiday Windows.

To expedite the adoption process, please complete the cat or dog adoption form and bring a printed copy with you to the SF SPCA Adoption Center (Hours & Location). This helps us better understand what sort of pet you’re looking for so we can guide you every step of the way! Please bring a valid photo ID and verification that you are allowed to have a pet where you currently live.
First, we’ll meet with you to find out more about you and your pet preferences and answer your questions. Our goal is to help you find the pet that best fits your lifestyle and living situation so we want to make sure you have a realistic understanding of the time and resources necessary to provide training, medical treatment, and proper care for your new pet. This can take time so please allow at least one hour for the adoption process.
Once we have a good understanding of your living situation and the type of pet you’re interested in, we’ll make introductions and let you spend some quality time getting to know each other to see if there’s a love connection. It’s important that all household members take part in this important decision so please make sure everyone is present (including any resident dogs if you’re considering adding a new pooch to your pack).
Once love happens, we’ll complete the paperwork, review all the SF SPCA adoption benefits, provide information on any known medical or behavioral issues, and share tips to make the transition a success for both you and your new pet.
We consider you and your new furry friend a part of the SF SPCA family so please reach out with questions ― and be sure to share your adoption stories and pet photos at sfspca.org/stories
Don’t forget to schedule your first free health exam at the SF SPCA Veterinary Hospital within three days of adopting.
