I adopted a cat and dog from the Humane Society almost 3 years and it was the best decision ever. The staff is informative and extremely friendly. They don't try to push you into adopting at all. I felt comfortable speaking with all the staff members. Also, adopting is cheap! For $60, everything is included.. spay/neuter, shots, a flea bath, dog/cat tag and even a free bag of the good quality food. I would definitely adopt there again in the future. The only downfall about this place is the cleanliness of the animal cages. I've been to some visiting rooms where the dogs are sharing space with their feces and urine. Its disgusting and it makes you feel sad for the animals. The staff should take extra measures to keep the place cleaner. The animals have no choice but to be in their cages with that atrocious smell.

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!

The San Diego Human Society moved into a new building about five years ago and it is beautiful. Roomy individual spaces for the dogs and big-windowed rooms for the cats. ...

This is a wonderful alternative to buying a pet from a pet store. The Humane Society keeps their animals well. There is a nominal fee you have to pay to adopt a pet, ...

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.
