    Lola

    We adopted from this organization and they made the process super easy. They are very caring and the animals are well cared for. They gave me as much background information they knew on my pet to help our dog adjust to her new home. We are so happy with our Lola and I highly recommend you to rescue from them.

    I was inquiring about adopting a kitten and their online form did not work so we drove an hour to the Petco in San Bernardino to adopt the kitten. Me and my 12 year old were super excited, we already have a dog and I myself grew up on a ranch so I love animals and know how to care for them as my sister is a veterinarian. During the waiting time there at Petco filling out the online application I have to say some questions on the application are really weird, like "if you and your spouse break up, who's keeping the pet?", wanting to come to my home, and their policy of never letting cats out, I mean are they pets or prisoners? I've had cats as lifelong pets when I was younger living with my parents and they were all leash trained and lived extremely happy and long lives, so since their passing of old age I finally decided I wanted another cat now with my daughter interested in adopting a kitten to grow with her. Just saying, she no longer likes this rescue organization because they denied us for the reason that we wanted to leash train in our backyard to acclimate our cat with our dog who is really friendly with cats The lady helping did have some attitude, and I mean you guys should have your policy posted as soon as people get on your site, and at the events so if people are interested in cats they know they're paying for a prisoner not a pet. Leash training kittens is a safer and healthy alternative to be with them in the outdoors, get them familiar with your homes surroundings, and comfortable for them to experience nature as well, it's a healthy way to bond with your cat. This non profit has that "we are better and know better than you" attitude and it's very dislikable and discouraging to those that think about "adopting". It's organizations like these that are the reason people don't adopt pets as much anymore and rather get them from strangers. And then these organizations complain that people don't adopt but also look at how these situations are handled. No wonder they don't accept more pets because they keep the ones they have for so long since they don't get adopted. It's ridiculous.

    We got our beautiful Loki from paws 4 a cause. It was love at first sight. Drove 5.5 hours each way to pick him up so very glad we did.

    We adopted a kitten from Nancy and Paws 4 A Cause Rescue. While running errands I stopped at Petco and saw this beautiful little kitty. I was able to call Nancy fill out the application and adopt her the same day. I greatly appreciate that Paws does a very thorough application and screening process. Our tiny baby is now a big girl.

    Oliver & Olivia adopted from Paws 4 A Cause! They are happy with a bit of celebrity! They are featured in Nancy's pet rescue books!

    Nancy and the team at Paws 4 A Cause have a true passion and love for animals. The cats and dogs are given wonderful care and medical treatment while waiting for adoption. Potential families are screened through a thorough and thoughtful adoption process making sure to pair the right pet to its fur-ever home. We have adopted 3 rescue dogs from Paws 4 A Cause and we are so happy with the entire process.

    I found a baby kitten appears to be 7 weeks old no mom around can I bring it in?

    Can I bring in a 3-4 month old kitten? My step daughter left the cat with us but it is too much for elderly mother and the cat is just into everything. A lot of energy

    Yes, that is the right age. The vet will examine and weigh the kitten first, to make sure she is healthy enough to undergo the surgery and anesthesia.

I appreciated that Alicia listened to what we were looking for and didn't try to get us to take animals we were not prepared to take home with us. Alicia went the extra mile and took my contact information and contacted us when a kitty that met our requirements came in. We literally found ourselves bringing our little lady home within an hour and we couldn't be happier! Everybody we encountered were very friendly and helpful.

    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 walked to the Rancho Cucamonga Animal Shelter that day because I thought I might be ready for a…read moredog. 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.

    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.
