Friendly quick service. We found 2 stray dogs and they were very helpful.

Lovely campus in a very picturesque scenic area Ive never been to before. Adoption process was a breeze everyone was so friendly and helpful. Got myself the perfect dog I was so lucky when I came across him. Search YouTube for my ZenGROW page to see the video I shot of Rocky my new rescue.

Took our dog in for his license renewal and a rabies shot. The staff was great and very accommodating. We have rescued both our dog and cat from them. They treat all animals with great care.

I love this place so much because I work here however the staff is amazing and so are the potential adopters for all of the fur babies that need homes!

Amazing staff, wonderful volunteers and clean facility in a beautiful location. If you are in need of dog or cat food you can walk up and ask for some. They also have great resources to offer the community for your pets behavior and/or medical needs.

Very Friendly staff. I suppose its actually a positive thing that there were not as many dogs to choose from to adopt than I was expecting. The dog kennel areas were clean and fairly large which was good to see. I would recommend visiting this location if youre thinking about finding a rescue. They also had a very good variety of cats to choose from.

Great staff, friendly and knowledgeable. I adopted Zoe a German Shepherd, friendly, intelligent, and a people dog. Most of all went for a comfort dog and I got that and much more she loves our family and we love her. Sorry no pictures yet.Thank you, Humane society of Escondido

Such adorable kittens and cats waiting for their special someone to take them home to love. I just lost my sweet angel Minnie and my heart is in shatters. Not able to adopt right now but hopefully soon Ill be back to pick out a new baby to spoil and LOVE.

I pulled a wretched little thing of a dog off the street of TJs north zone. It had more ticks then all the Tourette YouTubers combined. It was as disgusting as it was sad. So I took the dog knowing I was going to be taking it to the Humane Society. The dog had issues needless to when I brought the dog in they held it handle it with care and reassured me that they werent going to kill it but theyre going to find it at home. Cant tell you how good that makes me feel knowing they werent just going to off it if they couldnt find a home right away Humane Society doesnt get much better than that

I brought in a cat that could have either been lost or a stray. I told them that we were looking for an owner and that we would keep that cat of we couldnt find his owner. They told us they snip the ear of cats to indicate they are fixed. Never in a million years did I think snipping the tip of the ear meant chopping off half of it. How am I supposed to tell his possible owner that I took him to a place that chopped off his ear? I told them I wanted updates while he was there. I got no calls until he was ready to be picked up. When I do pick him up you tell me he was previously fixed and you still cut off his half his ear. I would understand why it would need to be so much if the cat was definitely a stray. But I had explained multiple times that we are looking for a possible owner! Also the cut is jagged, it looked like the vet didnt even care about this cat because to them it was just another stray. I fully understand that this is partly my fault, because I was naive and did not understand how much of his ear would be removed. But I feel like I put my ultimate trust in this place and was let down. Please be more transparent with people about this surgery. There are plenty of people who are just as naive as me when it comes to this subject and we need more explanation. I will give two stars because the staff was friendly and they did all of the check up for free, which is very helpful in these situations I just wish I knew exactly what I was getting into before leaving the cat in their hands. I am leaving this review for people like me to read and maybe they can ask the staff more questions about it than I did.

Tried a number of time to adopt a puppy. Saw a puppy today and 2 hours later it was gone. Has taken me two days to get appointment when I saw a puppy on the website. Please explain?

Helpful still have not found my dog Otis 🙁

Its so peaceful here. Very nice staff. We went there to pick up our new kitty.

Second great find here! Amazingly well behaved pup! I know many are not this easy... but hes a great dog, very playful and loving!

Wish we ould just put a zero rating down but no have to put a star. Our dog got out and they picked him up. THEY REFUSE to tell us where they out our dog or where he is in general. They are RUDE. They hung up on me and my husband act as if they dont know what we are talking about, avoid our questions and just going around our questions by transferring our calls to somewhere else. How come it is THIS HARD to get back our dog?

Amazing staff and adorable animals awaiting a new home.

We adopted Penelope and our family adores her! We were sad we didnt get the dog we saw online but they had a great selection of dogs/puppies.

My little dog is very scared of other people and I took him there to get his shots and they handled him with such care. When they brought him back he wasnt shaking at all. I was very pleased how they handled my little boy.

Amazing service! Everyone was polite and very helpful with us adopting 2 cats. I even got them for free due to being a Military Veteran. Great place.

So cute tis boy and very smart.

Kind and caring place...happy to have my dog back..

I Fell in love with a 7 month old kitten on line...Go figure. .. she was turned in on the 14th of May... by Her family because of Health Issues...she was Spayed, shots, nails clipped & Chipped...on May 15th what a Wild Adventure for this Kitty called Bobby ....I feel in love with Her at 1st sight... on the Eve of the 15th... Ms Chevron is my long Hair Tabby 22 months ... Filled out the paperwork and I prayed a lot that night that Miss Bobby would come home...to Us ..Ms Chevron & Myself praise the Lord ....on the 16th I picked upMs Bobby...who is now “Ms SaBrine” ...she is so lovable ...I’m so Blessed she has joined Myself &Ms Chevron ...I love My Girls...Ms Jaime

Was treated respectful. Staff was caring, understanding and so helpful. Just a wonderful experience through a terrible situation I was handed. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much to the staff at the Escondido Humane Society!! (Specifically Manny and Kiera!) We just adopted our dog Astro from them and he is honestly the best, well behaved, mild mannered dog and we couldn’t be happier. Thank you for helping us find our perfect pup!

Great people helping animals.

Great People So kind caring and understanding absolutely fabulous place

Lovely people, so willing to help . . . Human and otherwise.

Love animals. Just went to drop off a donation. Somebody is outside to help you when you show up.

I donated a case and half of lamb wet dog food.

Easy to work with. Great folks

They take very good care of the animals are very caring when having to give up an animal or lose an animal they are very sweet people

I got catfish thought I was getting a smaller younger animal because they failed to update the photos

Amazing place to find a furry friend(or two). Nice staff, clean facility, and they send you with everything you need to start off with your new best friend...

They only list the # for the call center. When the call center transfers me to the Escondido Campus, no one picks up. The call center wont give me the direct number. I dont expect theyll return my message. I hate to take an animal for euthanasia without giving a heads up.*Follow up reviewFor euthanasia, they cant allow you to be present. You will have to go to a vet if you want to be there until the very end. Calling around nearby I found prices between $300-$115. Here it was $40 + $10 for communal cremation. Its not about being cheap - for many of us on low incomes this is a reality.Despite the negatives mentioned, I changed this to a positive review because the staff here is compassionate and found a way to accommodate me as much as possible within what could be allowed. These are good people doing a good thing.

We adopted Our little bean here awesome service

They were super friendly and took really good care of my dog, who got out. They were professional and compassionate.

The shelter is very difficult to find, as theres minimal signage. When I finally found it, I discovered that they are still closed due to Covid-19. They wont reopen until the 1st week of June.

They suck at scheduling accessibility but they are friendly and I with I could adopt them all

It a good place. Its a little out of the way, & may be confusing to find, but its worth it. Unlike the other Humane Society campuses, this place will take larger farm animals, i.e horses. If you animal assistance in the Escondido area, this is the place to call.

Love,love,LOVE the San Diego Humane Society!!! Escondido campus is beautiful, the staff are amazing and they have all kinds of great animals in need of loving, caring homes. My wife and I are volunteer fosters there and it has been the most rewarding experience ever! If you are thinking about adopting, consider fostering first. They supply everything youll need, you just supply the home and love. Think about it!

I have been looking for a walking companion and I found him at the humane society, he is just amazing and he adjusted in 2 days and he is a very happy dog . He made a big difference in my life ! Everyone at the humane society was so kind . They kept social distance and i thank you all

Is this place a joke? First you have to sit through 2+ minutes of COVID-19 hysteria before you can even get to the menu prompt, then I tried selecting the option for the receptionist (4) which goes to a voicemail box that has not been setup yet - so I tried calling back again, sitting through the entire prompt again on COVID-19 to get their on-call officer, which then just cuts you off as a disconnect. Ive got a tiny 3 week old kitten that we found thats in critical condition and Im just trying to get some advice on what to do and nobody can even bother answering the phone. By the way, Im calling at 10AM on a Friday, so its not like this is an after-hours emergency or anything either. Great humane society. F-

Nice people make adopting easy. Beautiful, spacious, clean campus

I got my GS 12/21/16 - he will be 2 this 9/25/17 - I am so very happy with Oscar , I trained him so well , he is VERY happy , Oscartheballoondoghe has fun with balloons , I got so very lucky finding him , THANK YOU !

Didn’t go inside but the cat I got is super cool. She came with a few medical issues they didn’t tell me about though.

I only interacted with the volunteers on the weekends. Very nice volunteers there! They were all very helpful. Answered my questions politely and knew important things about being a pet owner. Great people to talk to.

I’ve had a long bumpy road with my dog. He was amazing with my kids but he was so aggressive with everything else. Nothing could come in the yard, he couldn’t leave the yard and he had killed other family pets. This past weekend he attacked our newer kitten in front of the kids and I finally lost hope. We brought him in to be put down it was a super stressful and emotional situation for the kids and I. It was pouring rain, I made the mistake of parking by a car that also had a dog in it the kids were crying about the dog. Finally we made it in, the staff was amazing , so helpful! They helped calm the kids they helped muzzle my dog they walked us in and sat us in a room to say our goodbyes. I explained my kids didn’t know and they staff was so helpful about keeping it from them. We spent our last moments with our good boy and things went smooth. The girls were so kind and understanding. Before going in I had called in, thanks so much to Molly I poured my whole heart out and she listened and was such a sweetheart. I appreciate them so much for making such a hard time in our life go so smooth.

I hope I find my cat. Lost in Escondido 😣

Took my cat here to get neutered and chipped all happened rather fast I love this place 20/5 stars

Staff and volunteers were kind and knowledgeable on both the adoption, vet and surrender side. The animals (domesticated, farm and unique) appeared well cared for. The adoption cost ranged from $25 to over 125 ( kind of pricey), I was told it was for general upkeep of facility, animal food, care, community aid and rescue services.

The good to care animal

We had a very positive experience going through an adoption process here. The three counselors took as much time as needed until they felt comfortable with human and dog interactions. As we came with 2 dogs that needed introductions, the dogs met individually then spent time as a group playing. The staff cares deeply that the animals find loving forever homes. We consider each pet we adopt a blessing in our lives.

Location was clean and nice. Saw employees walking some of the dogs which was nice to see that they had some outdoor time. Waiting in the office was a bit annoying. Signed in on the sign in sheet and sat down to go through my papers while I waited .. I soon realized that they were helping other customers coming in after me, paying no attention to the sign in sheet. It was a bit confusing and annoying. Other than that they were helpful

Adoption process is different now because of Covid, but they make sure everything goes smoothly. I made a phone appointment through their website, they called me, and I got my kitten the same day in the afternoon.

They do amazing work here. Whats more important than helping animals that cannot help themselves. Thanks again for Rudolph!

Absolutely amazing place. Most of the staff is nice. They were so busy when we went but the process was fairly quick. We got to bring home our new sweet girl and start showing her the love she deserves within an hour of meeting her. When we are ready to add a new family member again, we will be coming back.

The best of starr and found Brian to be impeccable and devoted. Best of staff!!!

Just got my forever friend...hes super great!!!! He was great with my granddaughter and its only been 1 day!!! Hes gonna be a great dog!!! Love him so much already

We adopted our lovely sweet dog over ten years ago. The staff here are great and you can help give a forever home to these beautiful animals. Stop by and take a look!

We heard rustling at night where some fresh food items are kept. Lo and behold..bite marks in the cantaloupe and some other fruit. Squirrel cage to the rescue along with a few tempting pieces of the cantalope...next morning: a live caught baby possum!! A little far out from town...this humane shelter is so quiet and country like. Extremely friendly workers and this location can take the wild critters...homeless, orphaned, or injured.

Great Animal Shelter, friendly and clean. On Saturdays from 8AM to 11AM they have Vaccination Clinic at excellent prices.

Was visiting CA from out of state to help with cleaning a family members home. The staff were friendly and it seemed like a nice facility. It was awesome that we were able to just drop off donations without an appointment. Glad these towels and blankets will be put to use!

Called them on a neglect dog. When it was all said and done. The dog was put down. The dog was so bad neglect it had to be killed. The owner nothing happened to her. She went and got another dog. So what is the point of calling on a neglect dog if nothing happens to the owner. I talked to the inspector of the case. My thing is if you have to kill the dog. Because of the neglect do something to the owner! A fine or jail time. Just do something it is better than doing nothing. So I can see the point of report neglect to dogs

Escondido Campus, San Diego Humane Society: Amazing place. So many dedicated caring people who work and volunteer here. The best well cared for animals.

Staff was mostly very friendly. They were patient and took a lot of time introducing various potential playmates to our dog, Ross. They were knowledgeable and gave good advice. After about an hour and six different dogs, we ended up with an awesome little Chihuahua who is an absolute sweetheart. Turns out he was potty pad trained and that made life a million times easier for me! They sent us off with food and flea treatment. The only negative was that the chihuahua wasnt bathed and really needed to be. That and one staff tried to convince us to go to another shelter and look for a dog there as the new pup seemed indifferent to our dog. But all in all, place seems clean and staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Will definitely drive from east county to adopt there again.

Absolutely Positively Awesome! The most compassionate and caring people! Thank you for making end of life arrangements for my beloved Midnight so much more easier!

Google maps directions dont quite take you to the correct road, TAKE BEVIN DRIVE. These people were extremely fast getting me in, bringing the dog out and getting me through the adoption process. They have only a few collars and leashes to choose from so bring a collar and leash &/or crate to the adoption; if not CHECK OUT THEIR FREE COLLAR BOX before purchasing one there. The harness was $2, Ill give them that. Overall, it was a happy, quick, hassle free adoption :) just FYI all animals are spayed/neutered before going up for adoption.

They try to screen the dogs as much as possible to make sure they go to the best fitting homes! We werent able to find a good match for our family, but that just means that they put a lot of care into rehoming their animals.

Clean, staff is helpful. Volunteers walking dogs and assisting staff. Animals are well cared for.

I am a former employee of this shelter when it was Escondido Humane Society, and started when it was in Kit Carson Park. I love animals and helping them out. I currently volunteer in the kitten nursery, working with scared and shy kittens and of course loving them all. I love working with Denise OMasters, shes the best, and does the best job taking care of the kittens, and of course Jan Steiner also who volunteers with me

Great place to rescue a dog. They go above and beyond to help the animals and new pet owners.

Ive been to a few humane society facilities and this is by far the one with the most helpful and nicest places. Great place to adopt and friendly faces to help you along the road to adoption.On Sundays they give 10 dollar vaccines and chipping.

I didnt know you needed a appointment to go adopt an animal....

The best place to take wild animals that your cat loves to bring home. Very very nice people work there and they love all the animals there. Go there to adopt your next family member not a pet store.

I havent had one yet. But want to Ive heard good things, read good things. They at one of or more of the places to get them back in good health. And the hundreds of Yorkshire terriers and mix my Yorkshire was stolen. I would just love to get 2 of them or even 1.

We rescued three cats from here and the experience was great! They were very helpful and very kind.

The staff is awesome. I got my kitty Chloe Marie here. Their fostering program is so great. I may apply to volunteer there.

Very friendly helpful staff. Thanks to their quick response to my call regarding my lost dog, we were reunited quickly. A massive thank you to the staff

We adopted a kitten. Curb side service was Great!!!!!

I absolutely love this place! No kill shelter and they are so kind! They did my kitties neuter and we also got shots for him too. They were very nice!

Fantastic place! Great customer service.

Nice people having to do a tough job. Treated my old dog with dignity and respect. They also worked with me on cremation places.

Thank God theyre there to help with animals

They are kind, caring and loving to both your pet and you.

Somehow we ended up with a 12 year old Chihuahua with three teeth. My son loves her though. all in all everyones very nice and helpful Id recommend getting your new dog here.

I know a gentle man who loves to volunteer at the shelter. It gives him joy to share his love and in return he knows how important his visits are.Thank you to the shelter for caring for the future pets.

Great people to help you find your forever ______.

Enjoy working with this great team! Nice helpful folks out there. They are dedicated professionals!

Good experience adopting cat, helpful and professional.

I appreciate them for rescuing animal❤🐎🐨🐶🐿🐱🐹🐭🐰🐸🐗

No kill shelter = best shelter. Time and space are not factors here. Best staff, best location, and always compassionate for their animals.

Wonderful place to adopt pets. The adoption fee is low. Staff are kind, helpful and knowlagdable. Dogs, cats, chickens, horses sometimes, hamsters and maybe more.

Wonderful facility and attentive staff. Critters all seem as happy as they can be while waiting to be adopted.

Absolutely thankful for my two dogs being found and held at this location. It was clean and staff weren’t as friendly as I hoped but maybe it was because the power had gone out and they had no computers for the time being. They refused to give me back my dogs until I was able to pay for them being held for the day ($100 each!!) but told me I had to come back to pick them up once the power was back in service so payment could be made. Thankfully it came back up about 30 mins later and I was able to take them home. My dogs were considered to be “aggressive” and were placed in separate but very clean cages with toys. I could tell by the look on the staff’s face that they do not take kindly to pets that aren’t 100% happy go lucky - which only one of mine is.My overall experience with them i’d rate as a 7/10 only because I know they’re probably used to seeing animals everyday and have become desensitized to certain aspects and I totally understand that. Reoccurring training of the staff in regards to customer service would greatly help to improve this. Also, I know there probably isn’t anything that can be done about the pricing, but maybe in instances like the power outage/divine intervention, dismissal of the fee or maybe an invoice sent to their home address?? as telling your “customer” they cannot have their pet back until the problem resolves itself is not the solution.

Animals. Pets, our furry buddies well taken carry of.

Nice facility. They have horses and other animals that alot of facilities dont have. Also, great customer service

I have visited the Escondido Humane many times and am always very pleased to see how well the animals are cared for. The staff have always been pleasant and seem to be very knowledgable about the animals they have available for adoption. I will definitely be going to back and if you are looking for a good experience I would recommend checking them out first. :)

Good staff and youd be rescuing a wonderful new addition to your family.

People here are zealous for what they do (n a positive way) and will go the extra mile to make sure animals get the best of what this place offers

Great place to find your forever four legged friend. As well a great place to Volunteer your time at a shelter or in the field.
