The San Diego Humane Society participated in the second annual California Adopt-a-Pet Day on Saturday.

As part of the state-wide initiative — hosted by CalAnimals, SF SPCA and the ASPCA — adoption fees for all animals were waived in an effort to clear the shelters.

This year's latest tally of pets adopted during the California Adopt-a-Pet Day in San Diego was at least 293, the humane society said in an X post on Saturday night.
