SD Humane Society ​Reduces Adoption Fees To "Clear The Shelters"

SAN DIEGO, CA — San Diego Humane Society is reducing adoption fees for dogs, cats, kittens and small pets during a nationwide campaign to "Clear the Shelters."

In partnership with NBC Universal and Telemundo, dogs, cats and kittens are available for adoption for $20, and small pets are available for $5 through Aug. 31 at the organization's campuses in San Diego County. The event will span a month to help people continue to practice safe social distancing, just like in 2020 and 2021.

A total of 703,048 animals have found homes during the nationwide Clear the Shelters campaign since 2015, according to San Diego Humane Society. Of those animals, 4,402 have been adopted from San Diego Humane Society.

"Every year, we look forward to clearing our shelters and getting deserving pets into homes," said Dr. Gary Weitzman, president and CEO of San Diego Humane Society.

"Right now we have more than 600 animals available for adoption and they are all ready to give and receive love," he added. "Adopting a pet is incredibly rewarding, because each time we find one of them a new home, we create space for another animal who needs our help."

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. Visit sdhumane.org/adopt for more information.
