“We’ve been very pleased that this event really shows how people want to help save a life,” Animal
Services Director Robert Miller said. “We love how families are providing a loving home at a time when
many others might be thinking about another trip to the mall.”
Although pets can be adopted for free, Miller said he wanted to remind dog adopters of dogs aged 4-
months-old or older must purchase a license if the adopter lives within the county’s jurisdictional areas.
A dog license costs $17 for a one-year license.
Riverside County Animal Services shelters are closed on Thursday, Nov. 22, and Friday, Nov. 23, in observance of the Thanksgiving holiday.
The shelters resume regular hours of operation on Saturday, Nov. 24. Click here for shelter addresses and operation hours.
