San Diego flood help: What to do if you were impacted by the floods
Humane Officers and their Emergency Response Team have been visiting the most heavily hit neighborhoods this weekend, like Southcrest, Mountain View, Logan Heights and Shelltown, offering assistance and pet food to pet owners while looking for pets left behind after the flooding.
If you were forced to leave your pet behind during the floods and haven’t been able to return, can’t keep your pet on your property due to damage, mold or other issues, or if you can’t find your pet after the storm, the Humane Society wants to help.
