Meet Our Office Dog, Lailai (A1450930)!

Lailai is a gentle giant with a heart as big as her adorable smile. Her calm and loving personality has already won over the hearts of many of our staff. She loves meeting new people—taking her time to approach and patiently wait for cuddles and affection. Her absolute favorite thing? Snuggling up for a cozy cuddle session.

Lailai’s sweet temperament has earned her some exciting adventures, including attending a Board of Supervisors meeting and the Festival of Lights adoption event in downtown Riverside. While she hasn’t found her forever home just yet, we remain hopeful that the perfect family is out there, ready to welcome her with open arms. Bonus points: she already knows how to sit and shake!

Lailai, along with many of our shelter pets, needs the community’s help to find a loving forever home. Could you be the family she’s been dreaming of?

LOST & FOUND: Do You Know These Faces?

Every week, beloved pets find themselves lost, scared, and far from home. Thankfully, they’ve made it safely to our shelter. Now, they’re waiting for one thing: to be reunited with their families.

If you’ve lost your dog or know someone who has, please visit the Western Riverside County/City Animal Shelter at 6851 Van Buren Blvd., Jurupa Valley, or check our website:
https://rcdas.org/lost-your-pet

Reclaim fees are currently waived, so there’s no cost to bring your pet home where they belong.

Reuniting a lost pet helps open space in our overcrowded shelters for more animals in need. Right now, every reunion truly makes a difference.

Please share this post to help bring more lost pets back to the people who love them most.

Oh, the weather outside is frightful… but these blankets are so delightful! ❄️❤️

A huge and heartfelt thank you to our wonderful friends at H&M Ontario Mills for donating giant boxes of cozy blankets through their donation drive! With the temperatures dropping and our kennels full, this generosity couldn’t have come at a better time.

These blankets mean more than warmth—they bring comfort, security, and a little piece of home to pets who are waiting for their forever families. Watching a scared or stressed pup curl up into a soft blanket is one of the sweetest sights, and it’s made possible because of caring partners like you.

To everyone who donated, organized, or helped make this happen:
Thank you. Our pets will feel your kindness every time they snuggle in.

Kitty’s Life-Changing Dog Day Out

Kitty recently enjoyed a much-needed Dog Day Out adventure, starting with a refreshing hike up Mt. Rubidoux followed by a well-deserved treat and some peaceful relaxation. Getting out of the shelter helped her decompress, feel loved, and let her true personality shine.

And the best news? That special day helped her find her forever family.
A heartfelt thank-you to the wonderful adopter who opened their home—and to the amazing volunteers who gave Kitty the break she needed.

Not ready to adopt? You can still make a huge impact.

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas! 🎄❤️

Some of our wonderful staff wanted to bring a little extra holiday magic to our shelter pets this season, so they created a Giving Tree filled with love, hope, and cheer. Our pets have been very good this year, and they deserve to feel seen, special, and adored.

With our shelters overcrowded, it can be challenging to give every pet the individual attention they deserve—but our team pours their hearts into it every single day. And now, we’re inviting our amazing community to join in the holiday spirit too.

So, if Santa Paws is listening…
Our pets have just one Christmas wish this year: a forever home. 🐾🎁

Thank you for helping make their season a little brighter.

Marina’s Dog Day Out Adventure (A1883091)

Marina recently enjoyed a lovely Dog Day Out, spending her day exploring Fairmount Park and strolling through Downtown Riverside. She met other dogs, greeted kids with gentle curiosity, and enjoyed soaking in all the sights and sounds.
This sweet girl is calm, laid back, and an absolute pro on the leash. Three words that describe her perfectly: shy, sweet, and serene. With a little patience and love, her personality blossoms beautifully.

Marina has been at the Western Riverside County/City Animal Shelter for more than 55 days, waiting for the chance to finally go home. Our shelter is in a space crisis, and dogs like her are counting on the support of our community.

All adoptions are currently fee-waived and include spay/neuter, vaccines, and microchip.

If you’re looking for a gentle, loving companion, Marina is ready to meet you.

Sooki’s Fun Dog Day Out Adventure!

Sooki spent her Dog Day Out exploring not one, but two beautiful parks—taking in the scenery, meeting new doggy friends, and enjoying every moment. Three words that describe her best? Affectionate, intelligent, and loving.

We’re thrilled to share that Sooki has officially found her forever home!

But many more amazing pets are still waiting for their chance. You can make a HUGE difference by volunteering for our Dog Day Out Program. Even if you’re not ready to adopt, giving a dog a break from the shelter provides joy, comfort, and valuable socialization.
