My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

How this pet arrived:
Patches was brought in by her previous owner on February 14, 2026.

Why this pet is the one for you:
Meet Patches #982239 and Cheetos #982242, the ultimate aesthetic duo ready to bring "veggie-chic" vibes to your home. To keep these girls thriving, they require a horizontal lifestyle in a spacious, open-plan enclosure of at least 12 square feet-no cramped prefab cages or fish tanks allowed. Their diet is strictly high-standard: unlimited fresh hay, daily greens, fresh red bell peppers for their essential Vitamin C, and pellets. When you come to collect your new plant-based companions, please bring a secure carrier to ensure they travel in style and safety. If you have room for two indie-attitude "potato girls" with heart-melting squeaks, Patches and Cheetos are ready to roll into your life.

More about this shelter

San Diego Humane Society, an open-admission shelter, is creating a more humane world by inspiring compassion and advancing the welfare of animals and people. Our lifesaving safety net has helped San Diego become the largest city in the U.S. to keep healthy and treatable shelter animals from being euthanized. We are a private, independent, nonprofit organization that is not affiliated with any other humane society or society for the prevention of cruelty to animals.

With campuses in El Cajon, Escondido, Oceanside, Ramona and San Diego, we provide animal services for 14 cities within San Diego County. We not only care for 50,000 animals in our communities but also share the expertise we have gained through our innovative programs with shelters nationwide so they can save more lives in their communities.

While our influence is expanding nationally, our top priority is meeting the needs of San Diego. We provide exceptional care for all animals through world-class veterinary medicine, shelter and most of all: love.
