The San Francisco SPCA is excited to be partnering once again with Macy’s on the presentation of the 21st Annual Holiday Windows Adoption Outreach event. From now through January 1, adorable cats and dogs, kittens and puppies seeking loving homes take up residence in their very own magical pet place in the windows of Macy’s Union Square store at Stockton and O’Farrell Streets. The SF/SPCA and Macy’s kicked off the 2007 holiday season on Friday, November 16 with a red curtain unveiling of the windows by former San Francisco 49er quarterback Steve Young.

USA Today has described the SF/SPCA Holiday Windows at Macy’s as one of the 10 Great Places to Press Your Nose Against the Glass. This year, Holiday Windows at Macy’s will feature six, five-foot diameter snow globes set within a panorama of San Francisco landmarks. The globes will house the SF/SPCA shelter dogs and cats within a setting that salutes other San Francisco holiday traditions, including A Christmas Carol, The Nutcracker, Beach Blanket Babylon, and the tree lighting in Union Square. The centerpiece of the windows will be an animated ice rink complete with skating dogs and cats.
Last year’s Holiday Windows inspired the adoption of 200 cats and dogs and over $25,000 in donations for the SF/SPCA. Every cat and dog offered for adoption at Holiday Windows is vaccinated, spayed or neutered, microchipped and screened for medical or behavioral issues. Each animal comes with a 30-day medical assistance plan, gift collar and ID tag (for dogs), a new leash or carrier, and an adoption kit, courtesy of our sponsors, filled with coupons and tips on raising your new pet. SF/SPCA staff and volunteers will provide information about cats and dogs, and guide adopters through every step of the adoption process (adoptions stop one hour prior to the store’s closing time).
