During our Unleash Your Superpower Adoption Event, Bingo’s adoption fees are waived - including spay/neuter, microchip, and vaccinations.

You can’t have pizza without pupperoni!

As part of the Blaze Pizza Fundraiser sponsored by the ASK Foundation, our amazing staff and volunteers brought along two of our best event ambassadors - Milo (A1864460) and Ollie (A1818950)!

These two charmers soaked up the attention, wagged their way into everyone’s hearts, and made friends with people, pups, and kids alike. After their meet-and-greet duties were done, they even got a well-deserved “pizza party” reward.

The best part? Milo and Ollie are still looking for their forever homes - and they’re ready to meet their future families!

Our shelter is in a space crisis and dogs like Ollie and Milo are counting on the community. All adoptions are currently fee-waived and include spay/neuter, vaccines, a collar, and an engraved ID tag.

A huge thank-you to everyone who came out to support the event and help us make a difference for shelter pets.

Our Year-To-Date Highlights are here!

This is a summary of the progress made possible from our commitment to lifesaving and from the support of community members, rescue partners, networkers, volunteers, nonprofit organizations and everyone who has played a role in helping more RivCo pets thrive.

Intake: Decreased by 20%, resulting in 3,370 fewer animals

Adoption Rates: Increased from 30% to 35% for cats and dogs combined, just shy of the national average for Government animal shelters of 38%

Transfers: Remain higher than the national average with county transfer rates sustaining at 22% for dogs and increasing from 12 to 14% for cats

Live Release Rate: Increased from 70.4% to 78.8% for cats and dogs combined. Cats saw the strongest six-month start in 7 years.

Humane Euthanasia: Decreased by 40%, resulting in 1,513 fewer cat and dog euthanasia

Together, we can keep the momentum going to save more lives and help more people. Help us spread the word about fee-waived adoptions at all shelter locations that include spay/neuter, microchips, vaccinations and engraved ID tags.

📢 Announcing the ***NEW*** RivCo MVP: Most Vulnerable Pets - Riverside (Official) networking group!

We'd like to introduce you all to a new strategy in our efforts to increase lifesaving. As part of our initiative, we have launched a Facebook group dedicated to networking at-risk pets at the Riverside County Animal Services Jurupa shelter.

Our networkers do so much work to find our most vulnerable pets (MVPs) placement with fosters, rescues, and even loving adopters. With this new group, we aim to support their efforts by providing the photos, videos, and notes on these pets so they can jump straight to sharing.

We encourage you to join the group if you'd like to help us find these pets placement! We'll be posting pets at risk as well as injured or ill pets seeking the comfort of a foster home. As this group grows, we hope to see our long-stay residents, kennel-stressed dogs, and bottle baby kittens find their way out of the shelter faster.

As this is a brand-new program, we welcome and encourage suggestions to improve the group - read the FAQ and let us know what other questions you have! More thorough notes and pets at risk for medical reasons are coming shortly.

The Coachella Valley Animal Campus group is already live, and the San Jacinto group will be coming soon. This is just one step towards saving more lives. Stay tuned for more exciting efforts to come!

So, let's get started - join the group and help us find amazing outcomes for Hops, Brie, Lala, Maddy, Nala (all of whom received a 5-day extension to kick off this group), Mator, Spot, and more 🩵

110 Days… and Still Waiting

For 110 days, these incredible dogs have called the Western Riverside County/City Animal Shelter their temporary home - waiting patiently, lovingly, and so often… being overlooked.

Despite the long days and constant noise of the shelter, they greet us with wagging tails and hearts full of hope. They’re not forgotten. They’re simply waiting for someone to see them, to choose them, to give them the life they deserve.

With our shelter over capacity, the need has never been more urgent. These long-stay pups aren’t here because they aren’t amazing - they’re here because there are just too many dogs and not enough adopters.

All adoptions are fee-waived which include spay/neuter, microchip and vaccination costs.

Adopt, foster, or share their stories - every action helps us save lives and makes room for more pets in need. Be the reason they get their second chance.

Meet Rocker - a 13-year-old Chihuahua with a heart full of love.

Rocker was left alone for four days without food or water, but thanks to a kind neighbor and the care of our compassionate team, he received the attention he needed while he waited for a new beginning.

We’re happy to share that Rocker has found his forever home and is now enjoying his well-deserved second chance at love!

This August, Unleash Your Superpower by adopting a shelter pet like Rocker. All adoption fees are waived, including spay/neuter, microchip, and vaccinations!

Don’t forget: we’re open late every Wednesday until 7 p.m.

Come find your superhero sidekick - they’re waiting for you!
