You sign in with the front desk clerk and tell them what clinic service you're there for. Most vaccines are only $15 for puppies which is honestly quite impossible to beat. They also have pyrantel dewormer for only $5, a great price. The front clerk on our first visit there was not very welcoming, and mentioned how I arrived 8 minutes prior to the clinic closing. That was one of his first statements to me rather than a nice welcome in. Took over 1hr to be seen and I was the only one in the waiting area. When I was finally called up, they forgot to give me my dewormer so I had to come back and ask again. The vet was very kind and so was the vet tech lady. Overall 10/10, amazing place and they even have free community goods (1 per person), for the community. This is honestly a miracle for all the pet community in the area. Thank you so much to the owner and kind staff that allow this place to be up and running.

When I picked him up I was not told of any complications or anything out of the order for a regular neuter. I put him in the car with a blanket over his carrier to try and calm him for the ride home since he seemed scared. When I peaked to check on him I noticed what looked like blood but I thought it could've been something else so I continued home. I got him in the guest restroom and let him out and he was covered in blood all over from his mid back to his feet, the carrier was covered in blood that soaked through all 3 layers of the cushioning and stained the wood piece. My drive was only 15 mins home. It was traumatic to say the least to see all the blood and not know what was going on. Even more so when i repeatedly tried to call the paw mission and no one answered so I kept leaving voicemails. My cat was also very disoriented so he was running from me when I tried to get him into the carrier. When I got to the paw mission the staff didn't want to answer anything for me they took my cat straight back to the back and they were rude in my opinion. I started crying because I was terrified from all the blood I had seen everywhere and they told me I was putting the staff on edge and being rude. I was on edge because of the situation they put me in . The vet finally came to speak to me and did give me answers finally and reassured me my cat was going to be okay. But this whole experience left me exhausted and it truly could've all been prevented if they had just checked on my cat in the carrier at anytime before they released him to me

Or maybe I just needed the feeling of a living thing nearby again--the kind that looks at you like you exist in a way the rest of the world sometimes forgets to. I first met Tito, who was perfectly good and perfectly himself, but the chemistry just wasn't there. So I told Melissa, one of the shelter staff, something a little strange. I said, "Just pick a dog for me. Anyone. Don't tell me anything about him. Just bring him out." And she did. The dog she brought me was beautiful and bright-eyed and eager in the way that makes you think a dog already knows something about you before you've said a word. I warmed to him immediately. We spent a little time together outside the kennel, and it felt--quietly--like a small pocket of calm inside a very loud world. Then I asked his name. Elliott. Spelled the same way as my daughter's name: E-L-L-I-O-T-T. My daughter Elliott is named after my mother, whose last name is Elliott. Three Elliotts, suddenly converging in the middle of a shelter yard on an ordinary afternoon. The kind of coincidence that makes you pause for a second and feel the strange poetry that sometimes shows up in everyday life. But the part that stayed with me the most wasn't just the dog. It was Melissa. We talked--really talked--for a moment. The kind of conversation that isn't long but still somehow manages to feel human and grounding. She shared a little of her life, and I shared a little of mine. And there was something about her presence that made the entire experience feel gentler, more thoughtful, more real. The shelter requires that every member of the household meet a dog before adoption, so I went home excited to show my daughter Elliott the pictures. She studied them carefully and then said, very plainly, "No Mommy. That dog is too big for us." And in that simple honesty there was clarity. I realized that what I went looking for that day--a companion to fill a quiet space in my life--might not be the right step just yet. But something else happened instead. That afternoon left an imprint on me. Meeting Elliott the dog, and more importantly meeting Melissa, reminded me how much compassion and patience exist in the people who choose to work in places like that every day. So instead of adopting right now, I've decided to volunteer at the shelter and spend time with the dogs there--especially Elliott, if he'll have me. Those dogs need love. And the people who care for them deserve recognition. Melissa, in particular, left a mark on my heart that I won't soon forget. In a world that often feels rushed and transactional, she offered something simple and rare: kindness, presence, and a moment of real human connection. And sometimes that's exactly what you needed all along.

I wanted to share my experience fostering for Riverside County Animal Services because this entire…read moresituation has been heartbreaking, confusing, and deeply traumatic. I initially agreed to foster a sick black kitten with a severe eye infection. There were supposed to be two kittens, but the second was not there when I arrived. The shelter then asked me to return the following day. I called beforehand and was told they still needed me to come. After driving approximately an hour back to the shelter, no one seemed to know anything about the second kitten or what had happened. Instead, I was urgently asked to take home a litter of neonatal bottle babies because they reportedly had no placement available and otherwise faced euthanasia. These kittens were visibly very sick and severely flea infested, to the point that fleas were crawling around their eyes. One kitten passed during transport home. Another passed shortly after arrival. Others passed despite my efforts to stabilize and care for them. I spent days trying to save them while also seeking veterinary guidance and emergency support. When the kittens passed, I wrapped their tiny bodies in the same blankets they had been packed with, including the microwavable heating block provided with them, because everything was heavily flea infested. I then kept them frozen until I could make the hour-long drive back to the shelter. At no point was I told there was urgency regarding returning their bodies or given any instructions on how they should be handled. I brought them back the same day I volunteered for one of the shelter's "dog day out" programs. Instead of compassion, appreciation, or even basic humanity after everything that had happened, I was told I could no longer foster based upon the "condition" of the deceased kittens. Those statements absolutely destroyed me emotionally because the kittens had already been critically compromised when they were transferred into my care. They died in essentially the same fragile condition in which they had been given to me. What makes this especially painful is that I recently lost my heart dog, Kublai, after sixteen years together. Part of the reason I stepped into fostering was because I was trying to channel that grief into helping vulnerable animals in his honor. My animals are my family and, quite honestly, caring for them is one of the only things holding me together emotionally right now. To be made to feel like an abuser after desperately trying to save these tiny lives was devastating beyond words. I absolutely support rescue, fostering, and adoption, and I know vulnerable animals desperately need people willing to open their homes and hearts. I would still encourage people to foster and adopt. However, I also believe prospective fosters deserve honesty, support, clear medical guidance, and basic compassion from the organizations asking them to take home critically ill animals. I sincerely hope Riverside County Animal Services reevaluates how medically fragile neonatal animals are handled and how volunteers are treated during already traumatic situations. Deflecting blame, especially when it stems from the negligence of the paid employees (ie a supervisor who has never contacted me, sent me home with kittens she knew needed immediate flea treatment, and then accused me of abuse) is beyond horrific. My heart is with the kittens we lost and the ones still fighting. Also keep in mind that I spent over $1000 out of pocket thus far trying to save these kittens. I don't want to in anyway discourage anyone from fostering but at the same time think it's best for everyone to know the realities of it, especially when they will be on the losing end of the blame game.

They turned her down? Maybe our mobile home didn't meet their requirement? So I drove by the Devore Shelter when I was using the 215 freeway. They had several cats that looked nice. I got my wife and she wanted one of two. One had already gotten the attention of someone else, so we took the other. It was a lovely calico with a great personality. It had the shots, was spayed, and when I went to pay for it... it was free!! I saved $250, got a better looking cat, and it was in great shape with a great personality!! And all the workers at the shelter were very helpful. They even gave us time with the cat in a playroom before we got it. So, this shelter gets my highest rating. My thanks to the Devore Animal Shelter and staff.

Her expiration date had passed and she was scheduled for extermination. She gave us eleven years of companionship and protection. This year (2025), we rescued Brandy, a mixed breed Shepherd / Chihuahua (? not sure yet!). She had been found in Phelan. After a favorable meet and greet, I adopted her on her first day of availability because the clerk told me, "First come, first served." My tip: Go there often and look at the animals. Like a thrift store, the shelter has a different inventory of animals every week. I saw puppies on FB that were no longer available when I went there; the attractive ones advertised online go fast. The adoption fee is $20. The shelter sent Brandy to Dr. Rex in San Bernardino. (See my review of Dr. Rex.) Final note: This shelter has a reputation of being a "kill shelter." That is probably an unfair but accurate description. Too many critics online blame the shelter, but we as a society are more to blame for failing to spay and neuter our animals and for failing to provide for them safe and secure homes from which they cannot escape. My 4-star rating is based on the service provided by the shelter. I downgraded my review for the crowded and unfortunate conditions in Devore.

(I do understand and respect prioritizing the mental health of the cats, but I'm sure the cats, especially the adults, would prefer a compromise, like being required to fill out a one page form on the spot before meeting). Every serious adopter that goes into a pet store and sees one of this organization's animals that they are interested in adopting and is told they have to go through this and this and this step before they can even interact with the cat and know if the personality is a fit. Everyone loses out. In my experience, even if you do go through all the steps, they won't call you back, and a cat that could have had a home I know had that opportunity taken from them because of the seemingly righteous or superior attitude of the rescue people. They surely know how many people go in and out of those cat and kitten rooms at the Animal Friends of the Valley shelter. Having a few people go in one at a time to meet one particular cat, I don't feel, is any more dangerous or unhealthy for the cat than them losing the opportunity to be adopted and eventually being put down. I just don't understand rescues like this. If you're too small to actually help, then let somebody else do it.

She responded to emails as late as 11PM on a weekend and her demeanor was always welcoming and reassuring, like an old, caring friend. Mindy's words and actions convey that she truly truly love all of her rescued cat babies and she only wants what's best for them and she works extremely hard to find them good homes. I was very sad that neither cat babies from her rescue matched the particular personality I was looking for (I was trying to fill this big hole in my heart with the tragic loss of a stray cat named Cookie I cared for) and I really wished that given all the hard work she and her daughter put into, I'd adopt either Teddy or Khabib. Despite these big, affectionate sweet boys were not the best match I was searching for, I don't think any less of them, I sincerely hope they will find their forever home they deserve and I cannot be more grateful for Mindy's time, patience and understanding she's extended me and my family.
