Riverside Humane Society Pet Adoption Center

The Riverside Humane Society Pet Adoption Center is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization committed to giving adoptable dogs and cats a second chance for a healthy and happy life by finding them good, loving homes.

The Riverside Humane Society is a private, nonprofit limited-entry pet adoption center. No healthy, adoptable animal is ever put to sleep. When a dog or cat is accepted into the Adoption Center, they stay with us until they are adopted. Prior to adoption, each animal is either spayed or neutered and receives all necessary vaccinations. The average time these homeless little critters reside at the adoption center is 3 to 6 months.

All will be taken care of...The animal residents are owner turn-ins or are rescued from local animal control shelters. Adopting a dog, puppy, cat or kitten from our Adoption Center involves the completion of an application, interview with an adoption counselor and counseling on the health and care of your new pet. This is done to ensure that the animals will be well cared for in a permanent, loving and responsible home. We ask for a placement donation when accepting new animals. The adoption fees range from $65 to $125, depending on the breed of the animal.

Our shelter capacity is currently 100 dogs and 75 cats, and we hope to build a new shelter to replace the existing one that is in major disrepair. The Building Campaign has been kicked-off with a $500,000 donation in matching funds from the Mary S. Roberts Foundation.
