A young mountain lion was released back into the wild after spending 4 months at our Ramona Wildlife Center! The cub and her sister were orphaned when their mother was hit by a car in Orange County. The @californiadfw determined the young cubs could not fend for themselves and reached out to San Diego Humane Society for help. The mountain lions have been housed in our large mammal habitats, only interacting with humans when medical care was required to help keep them wild! While the first cub was able to be released, her sister is still recuperating from a forearm fracture which she received initial care for at the Serrano Animal and Bird Hospital. She will remain at our Ramona Wildlife Center while she recovers. #ProjectWildlife #WildlifeWednesday #WildlifeRescue #Wildlife #MountainLion #Lions #WildlifeRehab #WildAnimals #AnimalRescue

Puggie has waited so patiently for a new home, so we decided to brighten his day with a special treat! We are absolutely smitten with this handsome pup who is a pro at "sit" and always excited to play fetch. He's not the biggest fan of hugs — not everyone is — and will be happiest in a home with adults and older children who can give him space and gentle pets while he settles in. Can you picture days practicing positive reinforcement training and plying this happy boy with delicious treats? Visit our San Diego Campus to adopt Puggie (591465)! #RescueDog #DogTreat #TikTokTuesday #AdoptAShelterDog #DogTreats #TuesdayTreat #TikTok #BeagleMix

With her faithful canine companion, Samantha Eastburn is helping dogs and their humans bond through aquatic adventures! Sam founded SUP Pups, a local company dedicated to teaching dog lovers to stand-up paddleboard with their furry friends. Her rescue dog Jack is always present on the nose of her board, enjoying the sun and fresh salt air. In our Animal People interview, Sam told us how Jack changed her life and inspired many adventures on the water. "While looking online at adoptable dogs, I stumbled across this handsome guy with soulful eyes and just knew he was the one for me. Instantly, Jack became my best friend. We BOTH fell in love with paddle boarding — getting out on the water and escaping from the stress of life. Jack loves to cruise on the nose of the board and is so intrigued with the wildlife and spending time with me. Jack inspired me to found SUP Pups. SUP gave us this feeling of serenity and life fulfillment, and helped develop even a stronger bond between us. Once I saw how much Jack enjoyed paddle boarding and taking out others to teach, I knew I wanted to share our passion with others. Everyone says Jack lives the best life, and they are so true. He is able to be outside with me and live the life of adventure. I couldn't imagine my life without Jack. He has helped me find a passion that developed into a career."

After five and a half years missing, Pipo is finally reunited with his family — all thanks to his microchip! When Pipo went missing, his family never stopped looking for him. Pipo came to our Escondido campus this past weekend as a stray and a quick scan of his microchip helped us contact his owners. They came first thing the next morning to get their long-missed dog! Reunions like this happen every day thanks to microchips. If your pet doesn't have a microchip, you can get one for only $25! Simply visit sdhumane.org/microchip to make an appointment. #Microchip #MicrochipYourPets #Reunion #Reunited #AnimalRescue #RescueDog #AnimalLovers #DogLovers
