Happy Easter!
Our shelters will be closed on Sunday, April 12 for Easter, and will reopen for normal business hours (10 a.m. – 4 p.m.) on Monday, April 13. If you find a stray pet over the holiday, you have a few options, including:
- Try to locate the owner via your local Nextdoor app or other social media platforms. For tips on reuniting a pet with their owner, click here.
- If you can, please isolate the animal from your pets, keep them safe overnight and bring them to us on April 13. Our normal business hours can be found here.
- If you are in a position to keep the animal in your home while searching for the family, please consider doing so. Visit our lost and found page for tips on searching for an owner, and notify us by email at [email protected] to file a report so we can assist you with reuniting the pet with their family.
- If you are unsuccessful in reuniting the pet with their owner, and cannot keep the animal overnight, call your local law enforcement agency and they will contact our on-call Humane Officers to assist you.
- If you need to report an animal emergency, please contact your local law enforcement agency.
COVID-19 Emergency Hours
San Diego Humane Society is taking necessary steps to protect the health and well-being of the animals in our care, our staff and the community we serve. At this time, we are open, although we will minimize activities that involve groups of people, and are making adjustments to protect everyone's health and safety. This page is intended to provide emergency updates as we have them. We also recommend you follow San Diego Humane Society on Twitter @sdhumane.
Emergency Hours for All Campuses
We are reducing our operations in Escondido to focus exclusively on providing services related to animal care and public safety until further notice. Services being eliminated for now include adoptions, vaccine services, licensing and owner requested euthanasia.
Please call us at 619-299-7012 to schedule an appointment for these services at our San Diego or Oceanside campuses. These locations are open daily from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m., beginning Friday, March 20.
