Regulations

San Diego Humane Society’s fees are collected for the adoption of pets and a variety of services provided to our community. Some services and associated fees apply only to residents of the cities of Carlsbad, Del Mar, El Cajon, Encinitas, Escondido, Imperial Beach, La Mesa, Oceanside, Poway, San Diego, San Marcos, Santee, Solana Beach and Vista.

Every dog is different. Some love being outside, while others would rather curl up indoors. Just like people, dogs handle hot and cold weather differently.

The City of San Diego allows residents of single-family homes, community gardens and retail farms to keep and maintain chickens.
