San Diego Humane Society and SPCA

Serving San Diego County since 1880, the San Diego Humane Society and SPCA provides vital services to animals and people alike through sheltering and adopting animals, providing positive reinforcement behavior training for adoptable animals and for owned animals through public training classes, investigating animal cruelty and neglect, providing adult and youth education programs, sharing animals through pet-assisted therapy and rescuing animals in emergency situations.

A private nonprofit organization that receives no public or government funding, the San Diego Humane Society and SPCA is supported solely by contributions, grants, bequests, investments, proceeds from the society’s antique consignment store in La Jolla (Glorious Antiques) and some fees for service.

As one of oldest animal welfare organizations in San Diego, the San Diego Humane Society and SPCA is more than just an animal shelter. The Humane Society offers San Diegans a wide breadth of programs and services that promote the human-animal bond.
