The nonprofit’s law enforcement officers took in nine dogs following a request by the Sheriff’s Office after a tenant in Linda Vista had been evicted.
Of those, six had to be taken to the El Cajon campus due to lack of room.
“Across our four locations in San Diego, El Cajon, Escondido and Oceanside, we had 129 companion animals come in yesterday — 78 of those animals were stray and 23 owner surrenders,” according to a statement from the Humane Society. “We desperately need the community’s help to adopt, foster and donate. We also need pet owners who lost their animals to come and reclaim them at our shelters.”
All lost pets are listed at sdhumane.org/lost.
As part of an annual Clear the Shelters campaign, adoption fees for all pets, except horses, are 50% off throughout August. The event culminates with a fee-waived adoption day on Aug. 29 for all animals except horses.

Less than a week ago, the Humane Society assisted two overwhelmed dog owners, one with around 25 Yorkies and another with the same number of huskies.
Adoptions in July have declined while the shelter has taken in record numbers of dogs, according to the organization.
The Humane Society is open for walk-in adoptions Tuesday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., at the campuses in El Cajon, Escondido, Oceanside and San Diego. Prospective adopters can view all available animals at sdhumane.org/adopt.
