The San Diego Humane Society and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Monday they have partnered to allow Ukrainian refugees crossing the U.S.-Mexico border to bring their pets with them.
SDHS transported the first dog from Ukraine across the border at the San Ysidro Point of Entry this weekend, and humane officers are available transfer more dogs as needed.
The dog was taken to San Diego Humane Society late on Saturday. The next day, SDHS' veterinary team performed an exam on the dog, administered vaccines and flea medication. According to the organization's veterinarians, overall, the dog is in good health. She will now be cared for at SDHS' Behavior Center for enrichment and socialization, while on a 28 day rabies quarantine, before she can be reunited with her family.
"Pets are family, and families should never be forced apart," said Dr. Gary Weitzman, San Diego Humane Society president and CEO."As soon as the war broke out in Ukraine, we began looking for ways to support people with pets and the animals left behind by this tragedy.
