Source: San Diego Humane SocietyJuly 28, 2024 (San Diego) -- The San Diego Humane Society’s Humane Law Enforcement assisted a community member, Friday, who had become overwhelmed by the number of pets in their home. Humane Officers transported 48 cats and two dogs to their campuses for care.
Upon intake, each cat and dog was given flea treatment and vaccinations before being placed in appropriate housing. These pets will receive thorough medical exams and spay/neuter surgeries. Once they are cleared by the team, they will be made available for adoption.
This mass intake comes at a time when San Diego Humane Society is already over capacity, with 1,962 animals in care (including 939 cats and 795 dogs).
The Humane Society is asking the community to help by choosing to adopt if they’re thinking of adding a pet to their family, opening their homes temporarily by fostering an animal, volunteering, or making a donation to support second chances for these animals and the thousands more in our care. More information for getting involved can be found at sdhumane.org.Today’s intake also highlights the incredible importance of spaying and neutering to prevent unwanted litters and reduce the number of pets entering shelters. They offer low-cost spay/neuter resources at sdhumane.org/spayneuter.
Anyone who needs help caring for their animals or finds themselves in a situation where they are overwhelmed can contact San Diego Humane Society for assistance, or visit sdhumane.org/supportservices for more information on their programs and resources to support pet families.
