San Diego Humane Society

San Diego, CA

San Diego Humane Society, an open-admission shelter, is creating a more humane world by inspiring compassion and advancing the welfare of animals and people. Our lifesaving safety net has helped San Diego become the largest city in the U.S. to keep healthy and treatable shelter animals from being euthanized. We are a private, independent, nonprofit organization that is not affiliated with any other humane society or society for the prevention of cruelty to animals.

With campuses in Oceanside, Escondido, San Diego and El Cajon, we provide animal services for 14 cities within San Diego County. We not only care for more than 40,000 animals in our communities, but also share the expertise we have gained through our innovative programs with shelters nationwide so they can save more lives in their communities. We provide exceptional care for all animals through world-class veterinary medicine, shelter and most of all: love.
