San Diego Humane Society
San Diego Humane Society is a nonprofit, open-admission animal shelter in San Diego, California and a national leader in animal welfare. Its mission is to create a more humane San Diego by inspiring compassion, providing hope and advancing the welfare of animals and people. The organization's innovative signature programs save thousands of lives each year and helped San Diego become the largest city in the U.S. to achieve zero euthanasia of healthy or treatable shelter animals in 2015.
San Diego Humane Society provides animal services for 14 cities in San Diego County, with campuses in San Diego, El Cajon, Escondido, Oceanside, and Ramona. It is an open-admission shelter with zero euthanasia for healthy and treatable shelter animals. Across five campuses, the organization cares for more than 40,000 pets and wildlife annually and shares their expertise with shelters nationwide.
San Diego Humane Society is a private, independent, nonprofit organization that is not affiliated with any other humane society or society for the prevention of cruelty to animals.
San Diego Humane Society was organized on March 10, 1880, by George W. Marston and George W. Hazzard, and is the oldest and largest humane society in San Diego County. In 1934, the organization signed a contract with the City of San Diego to operate a shelter under the supervision of the County Department of Health. In 1951, the first animals were moved to the original site, located on Sherman Street (formerly a milk plant).
In 2003, San Diego Humane Society moved into its new buildings on Gaines Street, where the San Diego Campus has been located ever since. Through merger agreements, they absorbed the former North County Humane Society & SPCA in Oceanside, California in 2010, and the Escondido Humane Society in Escondido, California in 2014.
In 2014, San Diego Humane Society merged with PAWS San Diego, to expand programs that help pet owners keep their pets, making this the largest pet safety net service in San Diego. Later that year, San Diego Humane Society merged with Project Wildlife, the primary local resource for animal rehabilitation, conservation and wildlife education.
In 2015, San Diego Humane Society and the San Diego Animal Welfare Coalition announced that San Diego County reached zero euthanasia for healthy and treatable animals. After working for more than a decade to manage the county’s homeless animal population and increase opportunities for pet adoptions, this achievement made San Diego the largest city in the U.S. to reach this goal, and the commitment to “Stay at Zero” has remained ever since.
In 2018, San Diego Humane Society opened the Pilar & Chuck Bahde Center for Shelter Medicine – the first of its kind in California. The hospital offers comprehensive shelter medicine to homeless pets and serves as a teaching hospital to train the shelter veterinarians of tomorrow. The following year, San Diego Humane Society expanded its Project Wildlife program and opened the Pilar & Chuck Bahde Wildlife Center in 2019.
