San Diego Humane Society is in its final push to cross the finish line for More Humane: The Campaign for Animals.
One year ago, the organization launched the public phase of this ambitious fundraising effort to inspire $250 million in gifts to fuel its lifesaving work. To date, thanks to the generous support of the San Diego community, the organization has raised more than $220 million toward their goal.
More Humane: The Campaign for Animals invites animal lovers to make a life-changing impact for pets and wildlife by donating to San Diego Humane Society. As San Diego County’s primary provider of services to homeless pets, injured and orphaned wildlife and pet families in need, San Diego Humane Society is committed to keeping animals throughout our community safe — now and into the future.
At the same time, the organization’s innovative programs develop solutions to some of the most complicated challenges facing animal welfare across the country, creating a better future for animals everywhere. This effort comes at a critical time, as shelters in California and beyond face the crisis of overcrowding.
Support generated through More Humane will help San Diego remain one of the safest places in the world for pets like Naya, one of the 40,000 animals who depended on San Diego Humane Society for care last year.
Naya had been hit by a car and was in desperate need of medical attention when she arrived at the shelter’s doors. She was suffering from a ruptured eye and a wounded leg as a result of the accident.
The team at San Diego Humane Society performed advanced surgery to remove her damaged eye, tended to her wounds and helped her heal. Then, they cared for her for more than three months before she found the perfect family.
Naya is healthy and thriving in a loving home today thanks to support received through More Humane.
As the organization enters the final year of the campaign, the original goals remain the same:
• SAVE the lives of vulnerable animals while addressing the systemic issues that put their lives at risk.
• LEAD the field of animal welfare nationally to reduce suffering and save lives.
• BUILD by investing in infrastructure that protects our animals and welcomes our community.
• SUSTAIN the work of San Diego Humane Society to ensure animals are safe for generations to come.
More animals in our community need support than ever before. San Diego Humane Society is committed to continuing to be our region’s largest safety net for pets and wildlife, now and into the future — but they need our community’s help.
