San Diego Humane Society

San Diego Humane Society is where I found her!

"She" was waitin fer me, in the last cage I looked in.

They called her Little Dog cause when she curls up to sleep she appears to be much smaller then she is ;)

These folks are GREAT they take the time to make shure bout things medical, and how ya interact w the furfolks.

Shela [ had the name picked out cause I was actually lookin fer an Aussie when I found her ] was expectin to drive my SAR rig away first time she got in, I think, cause she jumped inta the passenger seat, crossed over to the driver's seat, sat down, put her front paws on the steerin wheel spokes, turned and looked at me with a look that said "oK, I'm ready, git IN, and let's GO :)

When I indicated she wasn't goin to git to drive -- her tail & ears went down, and she crossed back to the passenger seat and sat down to lift her front legs one at a time to be strapped inta the safety harness my previous dog had worn -- fit perfect :)

Been 4 years now, with respect to my late Cinder, Shela is the best furperson I've had in my life!

THANKS San Diego Humane Society!

I adopted my cat from the Humane Society and it was a great experience. You are able to view all the different cats and even interact with them. The cats are kept humanely in roomy cages and they even feed them Iams food! There is a fee for adopting your pet, but it will be up to date on all shots and spayed or neutered.

I know everybody wants a purebread dog or cat, but cmon. There are thousands of animals put down every day because noone wants them. The Humane Society does everything in its power to stop this from happening. We have gotten two dogs from here (one from the helen woodward up in Del Mar which is great) and they are part of our family. The kennels are kept clean and the dogs/cats seemed well cared for (despite how badly they were treated before they were submitted to them). Next pet i am definately going here. Adoption fees are high, but then again, it does pay for the animal and all the food and love and help it was given.... well worth it

PROS: great humane place to get a pet
CONS: a little more pricey than you would expect, but worth it

The San Diego Humane Society is a very clean, well kept animal shelter in the San Diego area. It is sort of in a hidden location, but I am sure you have passed by it in many times before, whether you noticed it or not. The people at the San Diego Humane Society are friendly, and they are always looking out for the best interest of the animals in their shelter. You can expect them to help you find the best animal for your family, your home, and your budget. They always have a wide selection of animals available for adoption, and their adoption fees are a bit high, but include many important things such as shots for kittens, and other essential pet things. They are not as affordable as a pet store when it comes to obtaining an animal, but you can help save an animal by adopting from them.

PROS: Adopts out animals who might be destroyed otherwise
CONS: Expensive adoption costs

This animal shelter was somewhere I would recommend going to. They were very helpful and really cared about what deal was best for you. I think i got a good deal with this and i would go again.

The San Diego Humane Society and Spca is well kept. The people there are always very friendly, and are always so nice when you are looking at the animals. You always want to take the animals home with you, because they are so cute.
