The San Diego Humane Society has provided temporary homes to more than 200 pets since program started in 2021
Like many pet owners experiencing homelessness, Carolyn Rodriguez and Graciela Meraz faced a heartbreaking decision.
“Everything just started going downhill really bad,” she said. “We had two cars and ended up with one. I started doing delivery jobs. That helped, but it wasn’t enough.” The safety net foster program helps pet owners going through a period of instability or crisis, such as housing loss, escaping domestic violence, entering a drug or alcohol treatment program or requiring extended hospitalization.
About 67 percent of the fosters are due to temporary homelessness, and most leave the program because they have found housing.
