Lots of lost pets recovered at the shelters after the 4th fireworks. If anyone is missing a pet, please check the shelters every few days.

The days following July Fourth celebrations are always especially busy at San Diego Humane Society. Unfortunately, we’ve already had more than 63 stray pets arrive at our shelters (including those pictured here), and our teams are working to get them back to their families as quickly as possible. If you or someone you know is missing a pet, please visit sdhumane.org/lostpet to see all of the found pets in our online database, as well as additional tools to help your search. You may also text "LOST" to 858-SAN-LOST for helpful tips and resources. Please share this information to help even more pet families in our communities know where to look for their missing pets!

Do you have one of these breeds?

It’s important to keep all dogs cool in the summer, but some breeds are more susceptible to heat and humidity. Here are 10 dog breeds that can’t tolerate summer heat.

I experienced one of the most touching euthanasia experiences today. I walked into the room to find a beloved Shepherd named Hero laying under the drape of an American flag. Hero was a retired military service dog who used to detect explosives. He was adopted out to the wife of his handler when his retirement came. Both parents have lovingly cared for him until his body finally wore out on him. He passed peacefully to the rainbow bridge with his parents watching over. There is no measure of how many lives his service may have saved. I was honored to help him pass peacefully even as I choked up on tears along with mom and dad.

We have two kittens in need of a loving home. Adoption cost is just the cost of the well kitten package to include all vaccines and dewormings microchipping etc from now until 4 months of age. Kittens have already been spayed and neutered.

Congratulations to this amazing vet who completed this insane race. If you haven’t seen it yet, watch the documentary on this race. It’s crazy!

Any guess as to how we spent our Friday evening?
You know it’s going to be an interesting X-ray when the techs all start “oohing” and “gasping” at the X-ray when they take it, causing everyone else to stop and come into the X-ray room to take a look.

Saturday's Continuing Education Class...where you never know what you're gonna get, but you can always count on a good laugh and learn a thing or two! Here we learned "Weave", "Bow", "Paws Up", and one day, Kate pulled out Dobie, the CPR dog dummy, to teach us some basic CPR and Emergency Care for our pets. No matter what the topic is for the day, it always focuses on reinforcing all the skills you already learned in our Basic Obedience Class and having fun. It's also a great way to reconnect with Kate, ask questions, and tire out your pup. It's only $5 per class, and for an hour with Kate, you can't beat it! So, what are you doing this Saturday? (Sign ups at pawpartner.com under "Continuing Education". Pre-requisite-Must be a KSCEC Basic Obedience Graduate and have a sense of humor😁.)
