General Info

Rancho Coastal Humane Society ( RCHS ) was formed in 1960 by a group of hardworking volunteers, led by animal lover Maria K. Lloyd. The goal was and continues to be to care for the homeless animal population of San Diego County and to educate the public about pet over-population and responsible companion animal care. In the nearly 50 years since our inception, RCHS has grown from a small facility run by volunteers to a professionally managed humane society that provides quality shelter care, adoption services, education programs and an animal safehouse program for the survivors of domestic violence. The Rancho Coastal Humane Society is a non-profit, 501 ( c ) charitable organization. We are not tax supported, nor are we funded by any government agency. Please consider making a donation today!
