As of July 1, San Diego Humane Society will be the new animal service provider for residents of Carlsbad, Del Mar, Encinitas, San Diego, Santee and Solana Beach. Pet owners will have expanded resources and services available to them and their pets, including:
– Lost and found;
– Licensing;
– Increased adoption services, humane law enforcement and specialty programs like the Kitten Nursery, Behavior Center, PAWS San Diego and community outreach;
– Expanded service hours and coverage seven days a week.
“We couldn’t be more excited about extending our safety net to more of San Diego and we look forward to working with these communities to provide great animal services,” said Dr. Gary Weitzman, president and CEO of San Diego Humane Society. “This is one of the biggest milestones for animal welfare in San Diego. With our new services, we’ll be able to care for more animals as well as the people who care about them, which translates to more lives saved. Our expanded services will help keep animals with their families, which is where they belong,” Weitzman said.
Each City Council voted unanimously to approve a three-year agreement with San Diego Humane Society for animal control services. To learn more about the services available and how to contact San Diego Humane Society, visit sdhumane.org.
