About This Cause
San Diego Humane Society, an open-admission shelter, is creating a more humane world by inspiring compassion and advancing the welfare of animals and people. Our lifesaving safety net has helped San Diego become the largest city in the U.S. to keep healthy and treatable shelter animals from being euthanized. We are a private, independent, nonprofit organization that is not affiliated with any other humane society or society for the prevention of cruelty to animals. With campuses in El Cajon, Escondido, Oceanside, Ramona and San Diego, we provide animal services for 14 cities within San Diego County. We not only care for more than 40,000 companion and wild animals in our communities annually, but also share the expertise we have gained through our innovative programs with shelters nationwide so they can save more lives in their communities. While our influence is expanding nationally, our top priority is meeting the needs of San Diego. We provide exceptional care for all animals through world-class veterinary medicine, shelter and most of all: love. Operationally, we have set goals to: - Advance Animal Welfare - Support a Healthy Community - Champion a Thriving Organization - Maintain Financial Health Your Support in Action Our commitment is to continue keeping healthy and treatable shelter animals from being euthanized while we expand our innovative programs to help other shelters locally and across the country stay at zero euthanasia. We are deeply committed to meeting the varied needs of animals and the people who love them. But we can’t do it without the generosity of our friends in the community – friends who know that when they donate to San Diego Humane Society, they are making extraordinary work possible. As an independent nonprofit organization not affiliated with any other humane society or society for the prevention of cruelty to animals, philanthropy is crucial to our mission, providing more than 40% of our budget each year. And, what does this giving support? The average cost to care for each of the 31,871 companion animals admitted in 2019-20 was $848. The daily cost to care for companion animals was approximately $74,000 in 2019-20. Every companion animal we place in a loving home is spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and provided the highest level of care while they are in our shelters. Innovative programs such as our Kitten and Foster programs, which nurse approximately 5,000 kittens less than 8 weeks old to health each year, and finds them loving homes. Project Wildlife, which provides more than 13,000 sick, injured and/or orphaned wild animals with emergency and rehabilitative care annually. Our Community Support Services, which provide more than 1 million pet meals each year and offer a life-changing safety-net for pet families in need. These figures are a small snapshot of what we accomplish together with people like you who love animals.
