Amber visits San Diego Humane Society for a behind-the-scenes look at one of its largest campuses, where thoughtful shelter design, behavior programs, enrichment, veterinary medicine, and community outreach come together to help animals thrive. President and CEO Gary Weitzman shows Amber how the organization reduces stress for shelter dogs, supports animals with behavioral and medical needs, and provides lifesaving care through its specialized shelter medicine center. Amber also meets Red, a longtime resident still searching for the right family, and gets an inside look at the veterinary team helping injured animals recover. Plus, Dr. Tiffany Tupler discusses the importance of consistency in training, Dr. Courtney Campbell shares trusted resources for new pet parents, Dr. Ross Henderson explains how to create a safe space for a new dog, and we meet more adoptable dogs ready for their second chance.
