The San Diego Humane Society: More Than Just Puppy Dog Eyes (But They Have Those Too)
Let's face it, San Diego is pretty pawsome (get it? Paws? I'll be here all week). But what makes it even more awesome is the San Diego Humane Society (SDHS), a non-profit organization that's been taking care of furry (and sometimes feathery, or scaly) friends since 1880. That's like, older than your grandpa's favorite pair of flip flops!

| What is San Diego Humane Society |
Who are these Animal Angels?
The SDHS is a team of superheroes, but instead of capes, they wear scrubs and big smiles. They run five shelters across San Diego County, taking in nearly 50,000 animals a year! That's a whole lot of tail wags and happy purrs!
They're an open-admission shelter, which means no critter gets turned away, whether they're a three-legged chihuahua or a chatty parrot with a vocabulary that would make a sailor blush. These guys are like the animal version of a universal remote - they can handle anything!
Saving Lives and Spreading Love
The SDHS isn't just about storing cute animals (although, let's be honest, that's part of the job description). They're dedicated to finding forever homes for these furry (or feathery, or scaly) friends. They also offer tons of other services, like:
Tip: Reread sections you didn’t fully grasp.
- Medical care: Because even though your bunny might think it looks tough with that boxing glove chew toy stuck on its head, it probably still needs regular checkups.
- Community outreach: They educate people about responsible pet ownership and how to be the best pet parent ever.
- Support for pet families: Sometimes life throws you a curveball, and the SDHS helps folks who might be struggling to keep their furry family members by offering resources and assistance.
Basically, the SDHS is like a matchmaker for animals and loving humans, and cupid for critters, if you will.
