Print Vista Community Clinic has been giving out fresh and boxed food to support the health of patients and community members in need through food distributions for more than a decade. Since the onset of the pandemic, food distribution has increased and is offered up to four times a week, based on need, thanks to a number of local groups and nonprofits ranging from Feeding San Diego, Poder Popular and Coastal along with grants to the clinic. Diapers are also currently available, in various sizes. Parents and guardians of babies and young children can request a box of diapers when they call to schedule their food pick-up. To make an appointment, call (760) 631-5000 ext. 7014.
Animal: Muggles, 6-month-old, 16-pound, male Australian cattledog mix.
Where: Rancho Coastal Humane Society, 389 Requeza St., Encinitas. Appointments will be offered every day except Tuesdays. The first step is fill out a pet adoption survey at rchumanesociety.org/adopt/adoptions-by-appointment-only and email it to adoptions@sdpets.org. If the initial telephone interview suggests a “good fit,” an appointment to meet your desired pet will be made. If you can’t adopt now, you can be a “Virtual Foster” by sponsoring pets online at rchumanesociety.org/foster-pet-parents-we-need-you-especially-the-virtual-kind.
Adoption fee: $195, including microchip registration. Adoption fee includes spay/neuter and up-to-date vaccinations.

$75 for dogs more than 7 years old.
Adoption fee Includes medical exam, spay or neuter, up to date vaccinations, registered microchip, and a one-year license if the dog’s new home is in the jurisdiction of San Diego Humane Society’s Department of Animal Services.
If this isn’t the right time to adopt, become a Virtual Foster by sponsoring a pet until it is adopted. For more information call 760-753-6413 or log on to www.sdpets.org.
