San Diego County's animal shelters face overcrowding, urging adoption/fostering on Adopt a Shelter Pet Day. With daily intake up by 12% since 2022, local organizations maintain their zero-euthanasia policy for healthy/treatable pets, however overcrowding becomes unsafe. They encourage the community to adopt, foster, spay/neuter pets, and rehome before surrendering, to address pet overpopulation and save lives.
