Animal Shelters in San Diego, CA
San Diego has 41 listed animal shelters and rescue organizations. Most are rescue organizations. Coronado and La Jolla, both within about seven miles, have listings of their own. Most are living in foster homes rather than kennels, which means someone has already learned what makes each of them tick.
San Diego has 41 listed at the moment, and they are shown above with the ones that have photos first. Open any of them for the full address, contact details and opening hours.
Mostly rescue organizations, and the difference is worth knowing before you set out. A rescue usually places animals from a network of foster homes rather than from premises you can walk into, so you generally arrange a meeting first. A shelter or humane society more often has a facility you can visit during opening hours.
The listings fall across San Diego County and Los Angeles County, so it is worth checking which one a shelter serves before travelling.
If nothing here suits, Coronado, La Jolla and Bonita all have listings within about 12 miles. Each one links through from the sidebar.
Most listings here carry a phone number, and most link to the organization's own website. Calling ahead is worth it — opening hours change, and rescues often work by appointment rather than keeping a building open.
