An orphaned California black bear cub is gaining strength at San Diego Humane Society’s Ramona Wildlife Center. The approximately 7-month-old cub was rescued by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) in Bishop, CA on Dec. 15, 2022 and transferred to San Diego Humane Society’s Project Wildlife program for care.
San Diego Humane Society is facing unprecedented challenges in housing animals who need help and is turning to the community to assist in creating much-needed space in their shelters. On top of being at- or over capacity at its locations in Escondido, El Cajon, Oceanside and San Diego, recent cases of canine distemper virus (CDV), are adding to the challenge. Dogs who have either tested positive or been exposed to CDV, are being quarantined, according to appropriate disease management protocols. In order to prevent and minimize further exposure, the organization has temporarily suspended the intake of owner-surrendered dogs until Jan. 15, 2023.
