All San Diego Humane Society shelters will be open from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. by appointment only. To schedule a pre-adoption phone call with an adoption counselor, please click here.

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, please review these options. 

We will continue to provide the following services to our community:

• Pet licensing can be completed online here.
• Intake of stray animals and owner relinquishments will continue via appointment only. Schedule an appointment. We understand the need for some owners to relinquish their pets. At this time, we strongly encourage owners to hold onto their pets until the state-wide stay-at-home order is lifted. Here are resources to help you find a new home for your pet. 
• Helping owners find their lost pets – available online and by phone at 619-299-7012. If you are in a position to keep the animal in your home while searching for its 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.
• Humane Law Enforcement to respond to priority calls.
• Providing exceptional care for the animals in our shelter.
