She was only supposed to foster him for a few days. Then she met Melvin. ❤️
Melvin was just seven weeks old when one of our Riverside shelter volunteers spotted him. He was a tiny, three-legged kitten wearing a giant e-collar and cuddling a pink stuffed elephant nearly twice his size.
She brought him home to foster, promising herself she wouldn’t get attached.
Five days later, Melvin had won over the entire family.
When the time came to bring him back to the shelter, saying goodbye was harder than anyone expected. His toys were still scattered around the house. His bowls were still on the floor. His absence was everywhere.
Two days later, she knew. Melvin was already home.
She talked to her family, everything fell into place, and Melvin came home for good. 🐾
Today, he’s a cuddly, mischievous little foster fail who never lets having three legs slow him down.
Sometimes fostering helps a pet find their family. Sometimes you realize their family is you. ❤️

Meet Sully (A1928027), who was found wandering the streets, dirty and matted, unable to see due to over three pounds of tangled fur in the heat.

Our Animal Control Officer gained his trust with food and brought him to safety. Our vet team carefully cleaned him up, freeing him from the weight he'd been carrying.

Transformations like Sully's are made possible by a dedicated team that shows up every day, giving animals like him a second chance.

You can help pets like Sull by donating to our Care Fund to help us improve care for thousands of homeless and abandoned pets who enter our shelters.

Te presentamos a Sully (A1928027), a quien encontraron vagando por las calles, sucio y con el pelaje enmarañado, sin poder ver debido a más de tres libras de pelo enredado en medio del calor.

Nuestro oficial de control animal se ganó su confianza con comida y lo llevó a un lugar seguro. Nuestro equipo veterinario lo limpió con mucho cuidado, liberándolo del peso que había estado cargando.

Transformaciones como la de Sully son posibles gracias a un equipo dedicado que se presenta todos los días para darles a animales como él una segunda oportunidad.

Puedes ayudar a mascotas como Sully haciendo una donación a nuestro Fondo de Cuidado para ayudarnos a mejorar la atención que brindamos a miles de mascotas sin hogar y abandonadas que ingresan a nuestros refugios.

At only 3 months old, Casper had already been through more than any puppy should.

He arrived at our shelter with his brother, Stimpy, wearing a harness so tight it had to be cut off. During his exam, our veterinary team discovered Casper was also living with an old hip fracture.

Thanks to the skill and compassion of Dr. Snook and our veterinary team, Casper received the surgery he needed. Now he's healing, with his brother by his side every step of the way.

The best part? These brothers are staying together. They're now at the Humane Society of Southern Arizona to continue their journey toward finding loving homes.

Stories like Casper's are possible because of the dedicated people who care for animals every day and the support of our community.

Today an RCDAS Animal Control Officer removed two dogs from a property in Cabazon with assistance from the Riverside County Sheriff's Office. This is in response to a social media video where a dog was seen being repeatedly hit and thrown by an individual.

The department is actively coordinating care during the mandated fourteen-day confiscate hold. The confiscated dogs will not be available for placement during the department’s investigation.

The investigation is ongoing and anyone with more information is asked to contact the department directly by calling 951-358-7387.

While this investigation continues, RCDAS is asking the community to help other shelter pets in need. The department's shelters are currently operating at 230% capacity, creating an urgent need for adopters and foster families.

Every adoption opens space for another animal in need. Fostering gives shelter pets a temporary place to stay while creating critical kennel space. For more information on adoption and fostering, visit www.rcdas.org.
