I called this morning to report a deceased racoon on my property. Their service was excellent, they send out Animal Control Officer Pelren. He removed the animal quickly and efficiently. We are grateful for their help. Officer Pelren arrived in less than an hour and a half after my call for help. He provided excellent, professional service. The person who answered our call was friendly and courteous too. Thank you Devore County Animal Shelter for your excellent service.

Devore = death. No blankets or toys allowed. Sordid water. No euthanasia deadlines or volunteers allowed. Dogs labeled rescue only with inadequate behavioral analysis. Dropping a dog at Devore is agreeing to a death sentence. To the staff at this shelter - shame on you. STAY AWAY!

I brought wild puppies I found in the hills where I live. They wouldnt take them because I wasnt in the right district. Its a stupid practice and we really need to do better. Good Samaritans should not be turned away.

Can you drop off a dog and a cat?

Paul Peterson | Aug 20, 2019
Chris Thomas | Aug 20, 2019

If it's a owner surrender there is a fee. If it's a stray it has to be within certain city limits. otherwise it has to go to the shelter in San Bernardino. This shelter is very limited on space and they are typically reluctant to take an animal unless it's of real importance for this animal to be of the Street. It's a very good shelter with good staff, their resources are limited. I know from going to this shelter.

Devore is a kill shelter so I would suggest that you start there because you would be saving a life if you found & adopted from there. Some people come oftentimes on a daily basis for pets. Check it out !!!

Is there an actual website? The one on Google maps for the county, not the shelter. It would be very helpful to all asking questions regarding availability of adoptable pets. Being able to volunteer and donate. Thank you!

Nat Cia | Oct 23, 2021
Jane Usatin | Oct 23, 2021

Not an answer but a suggestion. (I don't know what you're looking for.) Kitty Devore rescue has been saving cats and kittens for ten years. The cats go to temporary fosters who nurse them back to health if they're ill, get them neutered or spayed, and then adopt them to people like you who may be looking for a cat or kitten. Kitty Devore rescue is a kind and experienced group who've saved hundreds of cats at the Devore animal shelter.

For the boarding of your animal or animals and depending on how many days of boarding as well. The money also goes to helping the other animals get their shots, surgeries, supplies to clean and sanitized the kennels and office areas and etc....

Brent Jukes | Aug 19, 2020
D Salinas | Aug 19, 2020

Unfortunately, it is do to humans not spaying and neutering their pets. An overpopulation of animals then occurs. Sadly, the animals are the ones that suffer. People, please be responsible. Spaying and neutering would help both staff and animals. If you are considering adopting, please stop by. Your new bedt friend could be waiting!

Maria Garcia | Aug 19, 2020
Emily Martinez | Aug 19, 2020

You can look on petharbor.com but sometimes the shelter wont update the site so it's best to go in person and talk to the ppl at the front desk and if you have pictures of your dog to show them itd be helpful.

Why so many killings?? who decides on which pet gets KILLED?? by NOT answering any questions it speaks volumes regarding this so called shelter!! So what are you people hiding???? Lyn

Brent Jukes | Aug 19, 2020
gabriel arteaga | Aug 19, 2020

No one is going to answer these questions here because nobody on here have those answers. It's annoying and irritating to get notifications from you. I've already said you need to go to the shelter yourself in person and ask those questions....you want answers...then take the necessary steps to get them. You keep posting and complaining but yet your running in circles. Get the courage you need and go to the shelter in person and quit looking for answers here. Brent Jukes grow up n be mature about how you do things

Questions again - why so many killings of healthy pets?- who decides which pet gets killed?- what happens to the pets bodies? This speaks volumes about a so called shelter that will NOT answer any questions! What are you people trying to hide?

Brent Jukes | Aug 19, 2020
Gogo GG | Aug 19, 2020

AGAIN.... 2 WORDS: FRANK MACOMBER. Call San Bernadino Mayor and ask why such a bully police officer is in charge of ANIMALS SHELTERS!!

gabriel arteaga you had better take a look at the questions questions and or comments re Devore they are NOT GOOD 99% are NOT good! do you work there??if so you can or will NOT answer my questions -so please furnish me with a name of who can !

Brent Jukes | Aug 19, 2020
gabriel arteaga | Aug 19, 2020

Look up the names yourself

gabriel arteaga - yes this is the place to ask questions regarding Devore - as it states ask a question!! I have several so if you cannot answer them which it sounds like you do not want to - please furnish me with a name of someone who could!

Brent Jukes | Aug 19, 2020
gabriel arteaga | Aug 19, 2020

Yes they are questions but not questions that anyone here can give you an answer to. Again you need to go to a county building or go to the devore shelter yourself and ask questions there or ask them to point you in the right direction. All your doing is asking questions about why they kill the animals and why this and that...like I've said people on here want to seek advice or want peoples input on locations not hear your rants about the cruelty to animals at this location or any other location. Like ive stated as well if it bothers you that much then go do something about it. Take the animal's to your place if you feel you can handle the situation better.

Why do you people keep killing pets/animals???? please refer to my many posts to you people!! - I have real questions and would appreciate answers!!! NOT rude comments!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lyn

Brent Jukes | Aug 19, 2020
gabriel arteaga | Aug 19, 2020

Then take your questions and concerns to community officials. This is not the place for you to find wat you seek

This is now my 4th question request - why so many killings at Devore?? who decides what pets die???? what happens to the deceased pets????? I would appreciate a answer!! Lyn

Brent Jukes | Aug 19, 2020
Echo Wood | Aug 19, 2020

As sad as it is they can't just keep every animal they rescue. They would run out of room.

I have asked my several real questions many times - to date NO reply!!?? why??? this speaks volumes regarding Devore when you/they won't answer any questions!!! Lyn

Brent Jukes | Aug 19, 2020
Echo Wood | Aug 19, 2020

Most places don't even know they have questions on Google maps. Or how to answer. Call them.

Regarding the below are real questions!! Why so many killings? What happens to the bodies??? My name is Lyn not Brent or dude!! I would appreciate a reply!

Brent Jukes | Aug 19, 2020
gabriel arteaga | Aug 19, 2020

Brent...or Lyn...whatever your name is...last time I saw it said Brent...so anywho like I mentioned last time...if you have that big of a problem with the shelter and the way it does things...then go to city council or the mayor. Make your statement and ask if they'll let you keep the animals at your place. Its dumb that your on here asking these questions. People are here mainly to seek peoples input and reviews on locations such as food entertainment or social locations. Not to see you complaining about how these animals are treated or whatever issue u have with the shelter. I think for what it is they're doing what they can to try to make sure these animals can be adoptable for anyone looking to take one in. Unfortunately Not everyone is in need of a pet. So I ask please just maintain your questions or opinions on peoples interests as it relates to the topics I mentioned.

How is this place funded???????

Brent Jukes | Aug 19, 2020
Kaelin Prusa | Aug 19, 2020

They have a few different sources for funding, including grants from the California Department of Food & Agriculture and nonprofit charitable organizations, such as Animals aRe First Fund.

No, but I'll keep an eye out! I highly recommend that you post her/him on PetHarbor, PawBoost, and especially NextDoor, in addition to going to all local shelters IN PERSON. We recently found our kitty who was lost for 5 weeks. We did all this, plus post flyers with her picture around the neighborhood AND attached a postcard-sized flyer to the doors of about 300 of our neighbors.

They are supposed to have a 10 day stray hold if an animal is microchipped. This is to give owner chance to be contacted and respond. They cannot be relied upon to do this since they euth much quicker when shelter is full or animal has medical issues
