The holidays are here — and so is one of the most impactful adoption events of the year. PAWS of Coronado is excited to join the Empty the Shelters event from December 6–15, 2025, in partnership with the San Diego Humane Society and shelters across the region.
Shelters are working together to relieve overcrowding and help more deserving animals find loving homes before the year ends. Thanks to generous sponsorships, all adoption fees at PAWS are fully covered during this event. Every adopted pet will also go home spayed or neutered and microchipped at no cost.
Why this event matters
Shelters across San Diego County are currently stretched beyond capacity. By adopting, you’re not only giving a homeless pet a second chance—you’re also helping open space for the next animal urgently needing care.
