Join Us In Lifesaving Collaboration

Our goals are the same: to find loving homes for the animals in our care! We value our Rescue Partners and are committed to working with local rescues to find homes for animals as quickly as possible.
It’s easy to become a Rescue Partner with us!
We value strong collaboration with rescue partners and other shelters to save animal lives throughout our community. San Diego Humane Society cares for companion animals at four campuses located in San Diego, El Cajon, Escondido and Oceanside. Our team is dedicated to working with our colleagues in the rescue community. We welcome all inquiries from our rescue partners and invite your organization to become an official Rescue Partner with SDHS, which offers several benefits.
San Diego Humane Society has transferred in thousands of animals from other shelters, so we understand the importance of maintaining clear, consistent communication and protocols.
We work toward continuous refinement on best practices for coordinating animal transfers between us and our animal welfare colleagues, always striving to find the best possible solutions for all animals.
If you have suggestions on how we can continue improving collaboration and communication, please reach out to [email protected].
