In recognition of World Spay Day on Feb. 25, the San Diego Humane Society urges pet owners to spay and neuter their pets to protect their health and reduce the staggering number of animals in shelters.
For 2.5 years, the organization has been significantly over capacity with dogs, underscoring the urgent need for community action to prevent unwanted litters.
“By spaying or neutering your pet, you’re taking a proactive step toward preventing unwanted litters and helping reduce the strain on our community shelters,” said Dr. Gary Weitzman, president and CEO of San Diego Humane Society. “It’s one of the most responsible choices a pet owner can make.”
Why Spay & Neuter?
Behavior – Reduces roaming, aggression, spraying and marking.
Health – Lowers the risk of certain types of cancer and increases lifespan.
Community – Prevents pet overpopulation and reduces the number of animals in shelters!

All animals adopted from the San Diego Humane Society are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and assessed. Despite common misconceptions, shelters receive many desirable breeds, reducing the need to buy from breeders.

1,200 Labrador retrievers
321 French bulldogs
