Adoption Fees Waived For Adult Dogs At San Diego Humane Society

SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CA — San Diego Humane Society is waiving adoption fees for adult dogs in an effort to raise awareness, encourage adoptions and make space at its shelters.

The organization has 1,742 animals in care, including 172 adult dogs that need forever homes.

"This has been a challenging summer for us, with a lot of animals coming through our doors in need of our help," said San Diego Humane Society CEO and president Dr. Gary Weitzman. "Now we're asking the community to help us help them by opening their hearts and homes to a new family member."

All adoption fees for adult dogs 7 months and older will be waived through Sunday, Sept. 18.

Dogs available for adoption have been spayed/neutered and vaccinated. San Diego Humane Society offers an adoption guarantee, training advice, pet supplies and educational information to support families for the life of the pet, according to the organization.

San Diego Humane Society is open for walk-in adoptions from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday at its campuses in El Cajon, Escondido, Oceanside and San Diego.
