San Diego Humane Society Demands Accountability for Missing Pets Sent to Arizona

The San Diego Humane Society is exploring legal options after more than 300 small pets sent to the Humane Society of Southern Arizona have gone missing. The majority of the animals were adopted by an unnamed private rescue organization, leaving the San Diego Humane Society concerned about their well-being and seeking information on their whereabouts. The Humane Society of Southern Arizona has stated that there is no standardization for recordkeeping in shelter transports, and while they have documentation of the original transport, they do not have records of where the animals were ultimately placed. The San Diego Humane Society has offered to take the animals back but has not yet received a response.
