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.

In 2013, we rescued Lola, a mixed breed Vizsla / Dalmatian from the Devore Animal Shelter. She had…read morebeen found in Bloomington. 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 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.

I owe this place a huge piece of my heart…read more My partner and I love cats but didn't have any experience, so we decided to try out fostering so we can learn the responsibilities while also helping out the community. The signup process was straightforward, and soon enough, we found ourselves in our little apartment with six cats all at once: a mom and her energetic five kittens. The shelter provided us everything we needed to care for them. Appointments were easy to schedule, and they were flexible about timing if we needed to pick them up later. Going from zero to six cats, it was a great handful but it was a blast. It helped me with my anxiety because I was too busy with the little rascals for my brain to think up any irrational worries. Between my partner and me, he is the emotionally-minded while I am logic-driven, but in this case, I was the one who fell in love first. By Day 3, my heart was breaking every night knowing that we would have to return mama cat to the shelter. I knew it was for the best so we could foster more, and frankly, it would have been a bit embarrassing to admit failure on our very first since I was very adamant in telling my partner not to get too attached to our first fosters. About two weeks in, we caved, as we couldn't bear the thought of sending our sweet Sesame back to the shelter to live out her days in a small space for an indefinite amount of time. We saw her whole nature and knew her sweetness and thoughtfulness in a way that we knew a majority of the people going into the shelter for a cute kitten would not see in this reserved adult cat. I was scared to bring this up to the foster coordinator since adopting your fosters is generally not encouraged, but they were sooo nice about it. They were very happy and saw it as a positive thing. The process to adopt was also very straightforward, and we couldn't be more happy with the addition to our family. To the new forever family of the kittens listed as Simba, Mushu, Bambi, Rajah, and Dumbo: we are so happy that they were able to find a home within two weeks after being returned to the shelter. We wish you all mutual love and companionship for a long happy life!!!

Found a stray boxer in front of the RUSD office building and called to get Redlands animal control…read moreto come get it. After 15 minutes on hold the girl told me to call her supervisor and gave me a number, the number was for Devore Shelter. Devore said call Redlands, since the dog was found in Redlands they refused to get it--no one would come get it and the worker at Redlands told me if I left the dog there I was breaking the law. She wouldn't have someone come look at the dog unless I posted it on Facebook first, even though i told her I didn't have Facebook and expressed numerous times he was a very LARGE, intact male boxer with an unknown temperament. I expressed the dog seemed fairly nice but I wasn't feeling safe with him and my three year old alone in the vehicle. Animal control said my kid would be fine and I had to bring him in or face legal action. I called a friend to come help me and brought the dog in. When we arrived there were three female staff at the desk. The blonde pictured below kept saying he was a good boy and seemed nice. She proceeded to come out to the lobby to give him treats straight from her palm and pet him while I scanned for a microchip. She went back into their office and he began quietly growling at everyone that walked by. This was making me uncomfortable. It was just he and I in the small lobby and they clearly were taking their time. I asked how long the process would take due to feeling uneasy being alone with this animal. That's when the male employee emerged from his office with an angry demeanor. When he approached the desk everything changed, suddenly they were petrified of this animal they were forcing me to be in close proximity with, the same animal my three year old was "fine to drive with". During the whole process, multiple people had come to meet with dogs and potentially adopt while I was in the lobby. They were asked to wait directly outside the door while the staff (pictured below)proceeded to walk back and forth past the dog to get paperwork and ids from them. The staff expressed they needed my ID for paperwork and couldn't trust me to fill it out without it. The ID was in the car and the staff refused to hold the dog while I retrieved it. They wanted me to walk outside past all the other adoptees with a dog showing aggressive behavior. The same dog they wouldn't let any one of those adoptees be in the room with for their safety. When I came back from the car with my ID the male began yelling at me, that it was my dog and I can't leave the stray dog at the shelter(I thought that was the purpose of an animal shelter but I guess not). They said he was aggressive--no wonder I didn't want my three year old with him. I fully believe the hostile nature of the male employee put the dog on edge and caused him to react. You guys had no problem putting my three year old in danger but you guys couldn't be bothered. The male worker had way too much Suavecito in his hair and a skin tight polo shirt all while trying to intimidate me and make me feel unsafe in the office. He was accusing the dog of protecting me and prosecuting me for turning in my own animal. He sat there staring me down repeating demands and yelling at me. They are incompetent and the whole shelter is ran by idiots. They kept the dog and threatened they are having animal control investigate me for abandoning my dog. They are a joke.

I have seen a steady decline in the quality of their management. Perhaps as a result of their rapid expansion. For several summers the Claremont shelter operated without air conditioning I was in there, I know what it felt like. It bordered on animal cruelty. Last year the volunteers put up a bit of a revolt. Lisa Price, the head of the organization finally called the landlord and got it resolved. Every volunteer I worked with left! In my time as a volunteer I've never seen Lisa Price at the Claremont location. They have a high turnover of staff presumably due to very low pay. They have been reducing shelter hours. However, this didn't stop them from a goal of $20,000 for a duck pond! One has to wonder where the board of directors is? I recently fostered a 12 year old beagle rescued from a medical lab (good for them). The branch manager, Kammi said ( in writing) that he would be with me till he was adopted. Days later they insisted I bring him to the shelter. Matt told me it was a "little miscommunication " and they wouldn't honor it. Yesterday I sent a text to Lisa Price and Matt asking if I could pick Gravity up on their closed days to give him a break from the shelter. No response from either. Heartbreaking what they're doing to this dog! Maybe you saw another of their beagles being dragged down the streets of Costa Mesa by a volunteer on your local news. If you go to charitynavigator.org (priceless puppy rescue corp) you will see they are delinquent on Calif. state registrations. The state has disabled donations to them. I could go on but these are obvious signs of mismanagement. Why won't the board of directors do their job? A new shelter just opened in Ontario (Animal Resource Center of the Inland Empire). Lots of dogs and cats available for very reasonable adoption fees. At first glance they look worthy of support. Ph. (909) 321-1096. On the internet go to arcinlandempire.org
