Important Update: Dog Owner Surrender Services on Hold
Due to incidents of distemper in our shelter, all San Diego Humane Society campuses are currently unable to take in owner-surrendered dogs, except in cases of emergency that threaten the health of the pet. You can learn more about this temporary change, browse our available resources or contact us to help. Thank you for your understanding.
