The San Diego Humane Society will waive fees starting this week to help dog owners license and microchip their animals.
SAN DIEGO - As Independence Day approaches, the San Diego Humane Society will waive fees starting this week to help dog owners license and microchip their animals to ensure they can be recovered if they run away during booming fireworks celebrations, the organization announced Monday.A one-year license is available to residents who live within San Diego Humane Society's jurisdiction.
According to SDHS, Independence Day typically leads"to a sharp increase in the number of stray animals entering shelter care," because fireworks can upset pets that may escape by jumping fences out of fear and confusion. Owners should take steps to protect their pets from becoming lost, as shelters are already full, SDHS officials said.
Statistics show one out of every three pets will become lost during their lifetime, SDHS said, with only one in 10 found. According to 2022 data, SDHS took in 275 stray dogs, cats and other small animals lost between July 4 and 7.All San Diego Humane Society shelters will be closed on July 3 and 4. Residents who find a stray pet over the holiday should look for identification on the animal's collar and contact the owner if possible, SDHS said.
