San Diego Campus Adoptions Building Renovations
Pardon our dust!
We’re renovating our Adoptions Building at our San Diego Campus (5500 Gaines St.). Please read this important information so you know what to expect when visiting our San Diego Campus:
Adoptable animals at our San Diego Campus are being temporarily housed at 5480 and 5495 Gaines St. and can be visited Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.
- To adopt a pet: If you already know which pet(s) you'd like to meet or adopt, please check in at 5480 Gaines St. when you arrive on campus. An Adoption Counselor will then meet with you on a first-come, first-served basis, introduce you to the pet(s) you're interested in and help complete your adoption. In the meantime, please feel free to browse our adoptable pets!
- You can also see all adoptable animals on our website prior to your visit.
- Visit our other campuses! Our El Cajon, Escondido and Oceanside campuses are not affected by this renovation project.
All other San Diego Campus services (including admissions, licensing, lost and found, Community Pet Pantry and more) will remain available at their usual locations. Thank you for your patience and we hope to see you soon!
San Diego Humane Society has embarked on a major expansion of the adoptions building at our San Diego Campus (5500 Gaines St.) to better meet the needs of the thousands of animals and people it serves every year. Adoptable animals at our San Diego Campus will be temporarily housed in our buildings at 5480 and 5495 Gaines St. All other San Diego Campus services (including admissions, licensing, lost and found, Community Pet Pantry and more) will remain available at their usual locations.
Since our San Diego Campus was built in 2003, we have grown into one of the largest shelters in the country and a national leader in animal welfare. With the support of our community and friends like you, we now care for more than 40,000 animals each year, thousands of whom are housed at our San Diego Campus. Reimagining this space is necessary to meet the growing needs of the animals and people who rely on us.
As you can see from the renderings, these improvements will dramatically enhance our animal habitats and our adopters' experience. The new, remodeled space will offer additional indoor/outdoor space for cats, Solatubes® to bring natural light into the animal habitats, better housing for small pets, more dog habitats with drainage that will allow for an easier animal care routine, additional yards for exercise and new technology that will help set the standard in animal shelter design. We envision it as a place that will inspire compassion and serves as a resource for animals and the people who love them throughout San Diego.
While this project is a significant undertaking, we're thrilled that it will support our commitment to exceptional animal care. We look forward to working with animal lovers in our community to continue funding this critical project. If you'd like to support the expansion, we have excellent naming and recognition opportunities available. To learn more, contact our Philanthropy department at [email protected] or 619-243-3434.
We look forward to welcoming you to our new and improved Adoptions Building when the renovation is complete. In the meantime, we hope you'll "pardon our dust" while we continue to improve the way we care for animals in need.
