Stevens Creek Toyota has announced a month-long pet supply drive, "Tacoma for Tails," benefiting Humane Society Silicon Valley (HSSV). Throughout November, the dealership is collecting new, unopened pet supplies to support HSSV's shelter and community programs. The drive will culminate in a special celebration on Saturday, November 22, 2025, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Stevens Creek Toyota, located at 4202 Stevens Creek Blvd, San Jose, CA.
Donations will help stock HSSV's shelter and community programs that provide food, supplies, and critical care to pets and their families. Most-needed items include dry and canned dog or cat food, puppy and kitten formula, treats, toys, leashes, collars, harnesses, cat litter, grooming supplies, blankets, towels, and enrichment items. Monetary gifts to support HSSV's lifesaving work and fire rebuild efforts are also welcome.
"Community drives like 'Tacoma for Tails' have a direct, immediate impact on pets and the people who love them," said Nancy Willis, Vice President of Strategic Growth at Humane Society Silicon Valley. "Every bag of food, every leash, every toy helps us provide care, keep families together, and create a stronger, brighter future for animals across our region. We're grateful to Stevens Creek Toyota and everyone pitching in."
Ray Khandan, General Manager of Stevens Creek Toyota, added, "This partnership means a lot to us—not just as a business, but as members of this community. Pets bring so much joy and companionship into our lives, and we're honored to help ensure every animal gets the care and love they deserve."
The November 22 event will feature donation drop-offs, the chance to meet adoptable animals, and opportunities to connect with HSSV staff and volunteers. Media are invited to capture interviews, visuals, and moments of community generosity. Visual opportunities include trucks and donation bins filling with pet supplies, HSSV team members and dealership staff in event T-shirts, and photo/video with adoptable ambassador animals. A potential follow-up photo opportunity when collected donations are delivered to HSSV in a Tacoma truck is also planned.
Humane Society Silicon Valley, founded in 1929, has secured permanent, loving homes for more than 500,000 animals. The organization offers adoption, affordable veterinary care, a targeted spay/neuter program, and a pet pantry to support pet owners in need. In 2017, HSSV became the first organization to earn model shelter status according to the guidelines set forth by the Association of Shelter Veterinarians. More information is available at HSSV.org.
Stevens Creek Toyota has served the Bay Area for over 54 years, offering new and pre-owned Toyota vehicles and a commitment to the local community. The dealership's partnership with HSSV underscores its dedication to giving back.
