PREVIOUSLY, TREATABLE ANIMALS WERE AT RISK OF EUTHANASIA IN SHELTERS DUE TO SHEER NUMBERS AND LIMITED RESOURCES. BY TRANSFERRING TREATABLE ANIMALS FROM FULL, OVERCROWDED SHELTERS TO OTHERS WHO MAY HAVE AVAILABLE SPACE OR RESOURCES, WE CAN STRATEGICALLY MOVE ANIMALS THROUGH THE SHELTER SYSTEM AND GET THEM INTO HOMES. THIS IS TRULY A MILESTONE FOR SAN DIEGO AND WE REMAIN COMMITTED TO ENSURING THAT HEALTHY AND TREATABLE ANIMALS ARE NEVER AGAIN AT RISK OF EUTHANASIA IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY.
