Absolutely a horrible shelter. If there was a zero star option I would put that but there isn’t. They are completely unprofessional. Their staff never answers the phone, they never reply back to people who are interested in adopting dogs that are scheduled to be euthanized. These poor dogs are doomed from the start, they euthanize dogs for “showing aggression” when all they are allowed is 30 hours of yard time a week. You try being stuck in a tiny box all day everyday listening to other dogs constantly barking wondering why you are even there in the first place. You would get aggravated too. Also don’t forget they euthanize dogs due to overcrowding. Completely unacceptable.

Difficult getting past a dispatch person. Sarah left me a massage with an extension. I tried multiple times to reach her and could not. The people who answered the phone were not helpful and said they couldn’t leave a message for me. One said, “I don’t know what to tell you.” I had had oral work done and was having difficulty speaking the day I was supposed to reclaim my cat and one was frustrated with the way I was speaking. and raised her voice at me. Very unprofessional. My cat is an inside outside cat that I rescued, he is fixed and microchipped. A neighbor took him to the shelter for an unknown reason. We are new to the community. I am disheartened by the events including how the staff treated me as though I was irresponsible.

I adopted a pet today and many of the negative complaints on the comments are someone incorrect. The kennels are clean kept, the staff was great and had no issues. What they need to address is the pet trading that is happening outside the shelter. People had boxes of kittens and puppies outside the shelter and would offer them to people. Someone even tried to sell me a puppy. I told them if they don’t want the dog take them in the shelter and I’ll happily take the dog from the shelter. The dogs that are red listed (death row) are dogs who can’t get along with other dogs. Some even returned by rescue because of issues with the dogs. I tried to take a red listed dog but got aggressive in the receiving area for me to take and I can’t risk him attacking other pets so had to pass and took a friendlier dog

I volunteer at the shelter, it's a great place and I've met tons of friendly people who work there or volunteer and the general public. The only sad part is there are several dogs (especially Husky) in need of a home and if they don't get adopted they are euthanized 😞 I groomed this little girl and made her pretty so she could get adopted. If you're looking for a new companion, visit the shelter, your new bff is waiting 😀

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Are you guys a no kill shelter I found 2 Chihuahua female dogs

Dulce Ramos | Aug 20, 2018
Denise Graciano | Aug 20, 2019

There is no such thing as a "no kill shelter". for a shelter to be a no kill shelter it simply has to have a 98% live release which means they can euthanized 2% of their animals and that will still make them a "no kill shelter". This shelter is awesome and does it's best to help the animals that come in.

Sandy Kaopuiki | Aug 20, 2019
Erica Hopp | Aug 20, 2019

That is awesome that you guys are willing to donate! If you are local and in the area of Rialto, Rialto Animal Control has kennels where they board dogs over night and are always in need of some supplies. They would be super grateful. But shelters are always great and need stuff to. Also shelter are always looking for foster mommies or daddies for fur babies until they are of age to be adopted out.

How many dogs are you aloud to have?

Juan Gonzalez | Aug 19, 2020
Riverside County Department of Animal Services | Aug 19, 2020

In unincorporated Riverside County and most cities that contract with Riverside County Animal Services: 4 dogs. You can have more than four dogs if you have a kennel license. When someone has more than four dogs, they would be cited for a "kennel violation," meaning they have too many dogs without a proper kennel permit.

You can request another microchip mail-in form at the facility. Just be sure to ask what the microchip number for your dog is if you don't have it. If it was done at this facility, the dog should have a record of the microchip number in the computer.

I was looking at a dog that was in the lost and found that appeared to be s friends but no longer shows up on the website. It was passed the 7 day pick up day. How do I find out what happened to him the ID on the dogs picture was A1450138

Five Stars | Aug 20, 2018
Steph M | Aug 20, 2018

If the dog is adoptable they probably change the dog to the adoption section. I would just call them up. If you go in person you fill out a paper then they take you to the back where they keep all the dogs. Some dogs are still not on the system. I lost my cat that's what I had to do. The lady also told me if there not on the system then they were adopted. They also keep a folder in the main entrance of dogs and cats that they had to put to euthanize.

I do not recommend dropping off sick kittens since the shelter is not a full service hospital and the kitten can pose a threat of illness to the cat population at the shelter. If you would like to treat the kitten please visit your local vet.
