When it's meant to be, it's meant to be! Amy was surprised at how quickly her adopted kitten Clark felt like part of the family, as she shares in today's warm and fuzzy #AdoptionHappyHour update. "We are so happy that we chose to adopt from the humane society, and had a wonderful experience all around. Luke has been renamed Clark and is such a fun, loveable kitten. We were prepared to follow all the recommended steps to get him introduced to our cat and dog, but he insisted o...n a fast-track. It worked out way better than expected and he is fitting right in." Happy snuggling to Clark and his new fur siblings! #HappyHour #RescuePets #HappyStory #FeelGood #RescueKitten

A few minutes is all it takes to fall head over heels in love with Kuma and that adorable smile of his! At 10 years young, this sweet senior appreciates the finer things in life and simply longs for a cozy home with a soft, warm bed and lots of yummy treats! This handsome house hippo loves attention but he doesn't love sharing attention, so he'll need to be your only pup. To help him stay his happiest and healthiest, Kuma's new family will need to monitor a few senior-related medical issues. If you agree that Kuma (717025) deserves only the best in life, come down to our San Diego Campus to adopt this love! #RescueDog #RescuePets #AdoptAShelterDog #RescueLove #SeniorDog #SeniorPets

It's beautiful outside, San Diego! As the days get warmer, plan any outings with your pup for the early morning or around sundown to prevent hot paws or heat-related illness. Before you head out for your adventure, make sure to grab the essentials: a leash, cool water and waste bags. While it's the law to have your dog leashed, it also helps keep your pooch, yourself and others safe! #LoveEmLeashEm #LeashYourDog #DogLovers #SanDiegoPets #HeatSafety #LoveYourDog

It's a tough call! We just aren't sure WHICH baby wild animal is the most adorable while bottle feeding. For scientific purposes, we're taking a poll. Is it: 1- the young skunk, 2- the baby cottontail or 3- the juvenile squirrel?... Our Project Wildlife care specialists will help these wild animals and thousands more grow big and strong before they are released back into the wild! (P.S. If your answer was "all 3" we'd have to agree!) #Wildlife #BottleBabies #Wildliferescue #WildlifeRehab #ProjectWildlife

The only thing cuter than one rat is two (or more!) snuggled together in a hammock. Rats are social pets and are happiest with a friend at home! Each of these long-tailed beauties are individuals. While some love pets and play time with their people, others may prefer to spend more solo time with their toys. What they all have in common are their inquisitive and friendly natures! If you're thinking about adding some of these ruby-eyed beauties to your family, the adoptions counselors at our Oceanside and San Diego campuses are ready to help you find your perfect match! You can also view all of our adoptable ratties at sdhumane.org/adopt. #FancyRats #PetRats #PocketPets #SmallPets #AdoptAShelterPet
