I'm so excited to be participating in Give Humane: San Diego Humane Society's Day of Giving on June 27, 2024! This year, I am hoping to raise funds to support our Foster Department.

San Diego is experiencing an unprecedented crisis: Local shelters and rescue groups are caring for more dogs than ever in their history. Animal Shelters are in a State of Emergency, and fostering is a critical – and temporary – way to help save lives.

The benefits of fostering are tremendous: animals get a break from the shelter, help preserve extremely strained shelter resources, and create space for other animals in need. We have numerous fostering options, including adult dogs, often with medical or behavior plans, adult cats, mama cats with kits, litters of kittens, small pets such as rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, as well as our Safety Net program for pet families experiencing hardship or instability, such as housing insecurity, domestic violence, or extended hospitalization.

While not everyone can foster an animal at this time, your donations would enable this program to continue this vital part of our shelter. There is no financial burden on foster parents - the San Diego Humane Society provides food, supplies, and medical care. With your donation, you can ensure our fosters are equipped with everything they need for success.

By supporting our team's fundraising efforts, you're also helping us achieve our goal and making a life-changing difference for animals and the people who love them. Thank you for your compassion for animals and the people who love them, and for supporting our eighth annual Give Humane. Together, we can create a more humane San Diego!
