A Message from Our President and CEO
Dear Supporters and Friends,
As the safety net for animals and their families in our community, I want to assure you that we are here to help during these difficult times.
As our community responds to the COVID-19 crisis, we’re caring for hundreds of animals each day — and we remain committed to keeping animals throughout San Diego safe.
If you’re looking to adopt or foster an animal—we’re still here. If you find a stray dog or cat or injured wildlife—we’re still here. If animal cruelty is taking place—we’re still here.
Our website is being updated regularly to provide current information on our programs and services, and we invite you to follow us on Facebook or Instagram for ongoing updates. You can also call us at 619-299-7012 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day. We are here to help!
Stay well,
Gary Weitzman, DVM, MPH, CAWA
President and CEO, San Diego Humane Society
The news is tough to hear, but in the midst of darkness come striking moments of light.

As the COVID-19 crisis continues, we are committed to fulfilling our mission as a safety net for our community.
Our Impact
A big Thank You to our supporters!
We would not have been able to provide lifesaving care to more than 45,000
domestic and wild animals last year without you.
