Woof! Meow! One thing before you go…

Do you need to find a loving home for your pet?

Shelters are often inundated with pet surrenders, and do not want to provide a simple outlet that takes away the obligation of responsible pet ownership. Therefore, they would prefer that people try hard to find a solution before resorting to surrendering their pet to a shelter. If you must find a new home for a pet, please try posting to our adoption portal before placing the burden on the shelter. Direct adoptions work well and allow everyone to share in the accountability of their community!

The Mary S. Roberts Pet Adoption Center (formerly the Riverside Humane Society) is a unique domestic animal adoption center.

All of our animals are spayed or neutered, updated on all vaccinations and microchipped upon adoption. They enjoy indoor, comfortable kennels and are socialized by our group of 300 volunteers on a regular basis.

Our mission is to eliminate the suffering of homeless cats and dogs by:

-Providing humane care for pets in transition -Facilitating adoptions to loving homes -Providing humane and pet overpopulation education to the public -Supporting sterilization of companion animals

The Adoption Center is a limited-entry facility that takes in healthy, adoptable animals. Most of our dogs and cats are surrendered by people who can no longer care for their pet. When space allows, we also transfer animals from local animal control facilities.

  • I inherited my son's 85 pound Mastiff mix when he passed away. He is sweet and loyal once he gets to know you but very protective and possessive of the one he is attached to. He only barks if alerted to possible danger and spends most of his time lounging and sleeping. He is mostly a house dog as that is how he was raised. He is actually a great companion for a woman if you like big dogs. I am sharing a house with others and there is not adequate yard space nor do I have time to walk him properly or spend much time with him I also travel and it is difficult to find care as he is quite bonded to me. With love and attention, he will rebond to another and make a great companion and protector. If interested please contact me at [email protected]

  • I am helping friends rehome their 7 year old male Pitbull, named Chili. He is beautifully marked white with brown spots. His owners had to move and unable to take all their pets. Chili is neutered and has a sweet disposition. However, he is not a fan of cats. He is best suited in a home with older children and the only pet. He was raised with small dogs but not sure how he would take to new dogs. His home had a swimming pool but he is not a fan of water and doesn't go near it. I fostered him nearly a week however he was outside on a small patio and I feared the vinyl fencing could not contain him when he played. He can be a couch potato or play and go on walks. He loves females. If you can help this family, please email me immediately before they take him to a shelter. Thank you for reading. [email protected] or [email protected]

  • I'm trying to help my mother find a home for her loving half boxer, half pit, name super. He's 7 years old. He has all his shots and has a chip in him that can be redone to a new owner. He's loyal and loving. Loves kids. Sits, lays and knows yes and no. Goes to his spot when told. Doesnt use the bathroom in the house, ever. And he prefers to be indoors. He's an indoor dog. My mother attempted to make him an outdoor dog, but was unsuccessful. The dog was given to her, and she tried to make it work, but he's to big and to hard for her to handle. He is not a violent dog. He's like a child. He needs a loving home.

  • I just took two kittens to the Moreno Valley Animal Shelter.  I thought they would help them to get healthier and adopt them out.  After I dropped them off and left, my adult daughter in Orange County asked if she adopt one of the kittens.  I called to the Shelter and the lady said that they were put down 10 minutes after I left.  If I had known that they were going to put down those beautiful sweet little kittens, I would have nursed them back to health myself and found them a good home.  There is no reason why those kittens weren't given a chance.  I found them over the weekend, so I had to take care of them.  They were eating on their own and their eyes were staying open after I had been cleaning them.   I think it is discussing that they did not tell me they were going to put them down if I left them.  They did tell me if they were older and could take care of themselves, they would have just taken them back to the area where I found them and dropped them off.  What is the point of having a no-kill shelter, when they lie to the public about the procedures of caring for the animals.  They do not care about the animals. They are telling the public they are are no-kill shelter when they  for sure are not!! Please do not take any stray animals to this shelter.  They will evaluate them to be ill and put them down.   Like I said, these kittens were in good shape and had gotten better just in the two days I was taking care of them.  No excuse.  They could have given them some care and food, and they would have made somebody wonderful companions.  They were already very alert and purring and loving.  Please spread the word!  This Shelter must have new management.  We pay for these services as tax payers.  Animal lovers in Moreno Valley should be extremely angry, as I am.  Discussing!!   Whoever makes the decisions, should be ashamed of themselves.  And lying to the public as to having a no-kill animal shelter in Moreno Valley, just to make them look good!.  Its NOT true!!!  -- Patricia Pfeil, Director Smithson Realty Groupwww.shawnsmithson.com Mobile - 951-325-5585 Buy land, they're not making it anymore. Mark Twain
