After nearly two years of construction, the San Diego Humane Society (SDHS) has reopened its redesigned Adoptions Center at its San Diego campus — 5500 Gaines St.

The facility’s improved layout features:

A transformed adoptions lobby
Expanded outdoor exercise yards — including “catios” for cats
Upgraded animal habitats — 58 dog rooms featuring calming solar tubes for natural light, 55 cat kennels, 11 communal cat rooms, and 53 spaces for small pets

“This marks a new era for San Diego’s homeless animals,” said Dr. Gary Weitzman, SDHS President and CEO.

SDHS hopes the new habitats increase visibility for SD’s adoptable pets, leading to shorter stays in shelters and more forever homes.

The Adoptions Center is open to the public Tuesday-Sunday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Adoption fees are 50% off through Sunday, Feb. 18.

And don’t forget — SDHS also runs animal shelters in Escondido, El Cajon, and Oceanside.
