August 8, 2024 (El Cajon) -- From puppies and kittens to senior companions and small pets like rabbits and guinea pigs - the San Diego Humane Society is overflowing with deserving animals in need of adoption in El Cajon, Escondido, Oceanside, Ramona and San Diego. Through August 10,the county shelters are waiving adoptionfees.
There are thousands of pets in crowded shelters waiting for a second chance.
The San Diego Humane Society now offers an adoption guarantee* per Nina Thompson, so families can have peace of mind knowing that if the pet isn't the right match, they will welcome y/our pet back into care if you adopt her or him through the San Diego Humane Society in the event the pet does not work out.
Visit www.sdhumane.org/adopt to learn more.
* Foster: This is a critical - and temporary - way you can make an immediate impact and help save lives. By opening your home to foster a pet, you give them relief from the stress of the shelter and create desperately needed space for other animals in need.
Visit www.sdhumane.org/foster to sign up to become a foster.
* Donate: Make a gift to help care for the 1,971 pets who are in our shelters right now and counting on us for a second chance.
Visit www.sdhumane.org/donate to contribute.
* Spay and neuter: Increasing the number of spayed/neutered animals is the only way to stop the crisis of pet overpopulation at its root. Reduced access to spay/neuter services during the pandemic has exacerbated the challenges facing our shelters. Visit sdhumane.org/spay for low-cost resources.
With record numbers of pets in our shelters, all San Diego Humane Society campuses (including San Diego, El Cajon, Escondido, and Oceanside) are able to take in owner-surrendered dogs by appointment only. To schedule an appointment, please call 619-299-7012.
