Adoption Fees Slashed This Weekend At San Diego Humane Society

SAN DIEGO, CA — San Diego Humane Society is kicking off summer by slashing adoption fees for adult dogs and cats this weekend.

Adoption fees for adult dogs and cats age 7 months and older will be $20 on Saturday and Sunday, thanks to a promotion sponsored by Purina.

The nonprofit organization has a record 2,524 animals in care, and 1,202 of them are available for adoption.

"Adopting a pet is more important than ever, especially as the organization enters the busy summer months with their shelters over capacity and expecting a sharp increase in stray pets over the July Fourth holiday," San Diego Humane Society said in a news release.

San Diego Humane Society currently has 350 adult dogs and 180 adult cats available for adoption at its campuses in El Cajon, Escondido, Oceanside and San Diego. The organization is open for walk-in adoptions from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday.
