"Our names are Sealyham, Airedale, and Norfolk. We are a trio of brothers and kind people from SDHS say we were always so much fun. 318 animals were shipped from San Diego Humane Society to Humane Society of Southern Arizona. We are among the 250+ animals that are missing. No one can account for our whereabouts but Colten Jones admitted to taking us and our friends.  Colten Jones is not a rescue, he breeds pythons and and sells animals like us to feed alive and frozen to reptiles.  

While we were at SDHS we liked running around and playing in our socialization pen, sharing veggies, and doing our share of wheeking and popcorning. We liked to take a few minutes to stop and watch the people visiting SDHS. We had big personalities and each of us were individual souls with our own quirks. We are likely not alive at this point because it has been 71 days since anyone seen us alive and a snake breeder admitted to taking us.

There was no reason for us to be shipped off on that hot summer day in August in a refrigerated truck driven by Jessica Des Lauriers (COO) and Janina Chavarria (an executive assistant), two women with limited knowledge of small pets.  SDHS got a lot of money to care for us and their solution was to send us away. Our lives mattered but not to the people that should have cared to most and get paid very well to care. To them, we were disposable and they could not even make sure we were going some place safe.

Thank you for reading our story, we have our own page on Facebook.
Please share our story and the stories of our friends.

Just an ask from us…If you live in San Diego county and your city (SD, La Mesa, El Cajon, Oceanside, Escondido, Encinitas, Solana Beach, Del Mar, Vista, Santee, Carlsbad, San Marcos, and Poway) uses SDHS for animal control services, write to your council members to let them know you are not ok that SDHS used your tax money to send us to a reptile breeder".
