San Diego Humane Society Breaks Ground on Community Veterinary Hospital: $15 Million Project to Perform Over 200 Spay/Neuter Surgeries a Week
San Diego Humane Society (SDHS) held a wall-breaking ceremony on November 10 at 5485 Gaines Street in San Diego for its new Community Veterinary Hospital and Canepa Family Spay/Neuter Center. The $15 million initiative brings reduced-cost veterinary care and support services together at one location, helping low-income pet families obtain treatment before manageable conditions become emergencies.
The organization said the hospital will be San Diego County's largest full-scale community veterinary hospital, with four exam rooms, an onsite laboratory and imaging, a surgical suite and a dental suite, staffed by five veterinarians. It is expected to offer up to 30 veterinarian appointments a day and more than 13,000 low-cost vaccinations a year.
The co-located spay/neuter center plans to start at more than 200 community surgeries a week and will serve as a regional training resource for high-quality, high-volume spay/neuter practice. The project also adds 30 double-sided dog habitats. SDHS cares for more than 30,000 pets a year. President and CEO Dr. Gary Weitzman said the hospital will help families before they face an impossible choice between caring for themselves and caring for their pets.
