50% off all adoption fees for Clear the Shelters Month

SAN DIEGO – With 2,001 animals in care and more than 800 of them ready for new homes, San Diego Humane Society is reducing all adoption fees by 50% during "Clear the Shelters" month now through Sept. 10. The organization will also waive all adoption fees on Sept. 7 for a special "Clear the Shelters" day.

These promotions are part of NBC Universal and Telemundo's Clear the Shelters month, aimed at spreading awareness about the importance of adoption. With shelters facing record numbers of pets in care, it's more important than ever to choose adoption first.

San Diego Humane Society hit a new record with 852 dogs on Aug. 8, 2024 (644 adult dogs + 188 puppies). "You can be a hero for animals by being part of the solution," said Dr. Gary Weitzman, president and CEO of San Diego Humane Society. "If you want to add a pet to your family, there is no better time than now to adopt because there is a perfect match for you just waiting for a second chance."

Unlike previous years, the shelter has an abundance of puppies and kittens. Adopting a pet from San Diego Humane Society is not only a compassionate choice, but also a cost-effective one.

Every adopted animal comes spayed/neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. Adopters also receive an adoption guarantee, a voucher to a free veterinary exam, 30 days of pet insurance at no obligation, training advice, pet supplies and educational information to ensure a smooth transition for pets into their new homes.

San Diego Humane Society is open for walk-in adoptions Tuesday through Sunday at its campuses in Escondido, El Cajon, Oceanside and San Diego. Adoptions take place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday and 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Thursday and Friday.
