San Francisco SPCA Celebrates 39 Years of Holiday Magic with Iconic Windows at Macy’s Union Square and Name-Your-Price Adoptions
The San Francisco SPCA has announced that it will once again fill the city with holiday cheer as it launches its 2025 holiday season celebrations. The centerpiece of the festivities, the iconic SF SPCA Holiday Windows at Macy's Union Square, returns for its 39th year, bringing adorable, adoptable puppies and kittens to the center of San Francisco, November 21 through December 31, 2025.
The live display transforms the busiest shopping season into an opportunity to save a life and welcome a new family member. The Holiday Windows will be open from November 21 to December 31, Wednesday through Sunday, from noon to 5 p.m. During these hours, the SF SPCA will staff an adoption information station on Macy's main floor to help visitors take the next step toward adoption. Macy's will be closed on November 27 and December 25.
To increase adoptions during the holiday season and help 500 animals find their forever homes, the SF SPCA will have Name Your Price adoptions for all animals over 5 months old throughout the entire holiday period. Those interested in adopting can also visit the SF SPCA's Adoption Center in the Mission District, where hundreds more animals are waiting to find their forever families.
"The SF SPCA and Macy's Holiday Windows have been bringing joy to San Francisco for nearly four decades, and each year we see the incredible impact of this tradition," said Dr. Jennifer Scarlett, CEO of the SF SPCA. "By offering Name Your Price adoptions, we're removing barriers and making it possible for more families to experience the unconditional love of a pet this holiday season. Every adoption creates space for us to save another life."
For those who can't visit in person, the magic continues online with Holiday Live Cams streaming daily on the SF SPCA website, sfspca.org/holiday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., November 21 through December 31.
The SF SPCA will host a special Shelter Animal Toy Drive in partnership with KTVU & FOX LOCAL on Saturday, December 13, at Macy's. The event offers a chance to bring holiday cheer to the animals at the SF SPCA shelter.
