"We have done this event for 39 years. In 39 years, it's totaled over 10,000 animals being sent home. What an amazing number, those are all lives of animals that have homes now. We have a goal of reaching over 500 adoptions, so hopefully folks are going to help us reach that,"
"It is one of San Francisco's most famed and favorite holiday traditions. We are actually seeing folks that came here as kids, bringing their own families and kids to see the window displays. For some, it's a tradition to adopt directly at Macy's Union Square,"
"It is so easy to adopt, and we want to make sure we take away any barriers to adoptions. Everything else is a conversation with you and an adoption counselor, which includes a meet and greet with your potential candidate for adoption,"
The San Francisco SPCA maintains a live adoption display at Macy's Union Square for its 39th consecutive year with a goal of placing 500 animals. The event has facilitated over 10,000 adoptions historically. Animals older than five months are available under a name-your-price policy to reduce financial barriers. New adopters must be at least 18, present valid identification, and show proof of residency. Adoption counselors, volunteers, and staff coordinate meet-and-greets, provide post-adoption check-ins, and offer ongoing resources. The window display operates as a local holiday tradition and enables on-site adoptions.
