Volunteer Day with Humane Society Silicon Valley

Last Friday a group of our Doubletree staff got to spend a rewarding morning with the Humane Society Silicon Valley in Milpitas. We began with a tour of their beautiful new facility, which we also learned is one of the first green certified animal facilities in the country! Being a green hotel we were very interested in this fact. Then we spent some time lending a helping hand to tidy up the cat and dog areas. The best part of all was that at the end of our shift we got to spend some time visiting with Clementine, a great dane, and Shay, a pit bull cross.
