My story

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

How this pet arrived:
Chunky was brought in by her previous owner on December 18, 2024.

Why this pet is the one for you:
Meet Chunky, the red-eared slider who's here to steal the show! While she may not belt out tunes, her slow and steady vibe is sure to win you over. As an invasive species in California, Chunky needs a secure, loving home where she can relax without the risk of wandering into the wild. Her ideal home? A spacious outdoor pond where she can swim, bask, and soak up the sun like a true diva. If that's not possible, a roomy indoor tank (100+ gallons) will do, as long as it's equipped with a bioactive system or a reliable filter to keep her waters sparkling clean. Chunky's a long-term commitment-red-eared sliders can live 20+ years-so she's looking for a dedicated fan who'll provide her with a proper omnivorous diet to keep her healthy and happy. Don't forget to turtle-proof her space! A secure fence is a must-no surprise escape tours for this queen. If you're ready to give Chunky her new stage, bring a safe carrier for her big move. She's ready to bask in the spotlight at her new home!

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.
