The Riverside Humane Society Pet Adoption Center wishes to help people find the best companion pet possible, and therefore we consider not only the needs of the pets, but also the expectations of the new owners.  This involves counseling new pet owners about the individual animal's health, diet, grooming, exercise needs, and much more.  Each dog and cat has a distinct personality with individual needs and our Adoption Counselors will help you find the best pet possible!

  Adoption Procedure

  • Check in at office.
  • Tour the facilities. Please do not put hands near or in the kennels/cages. This is for health and safety reasons (yours and the animals').
  • If you are interested, you may visit with a particular animal in one of our play yards or in a "Get Aquainted Room".
  • The most important part of the adoption process is the interaction between the animal, yourself/family, and other dogs (if applicable).
  • All family members (even other dogs in your household) must come in to meet the new animal in order to complete the adoption. The most important step in the adoption process is that everyone goes home happy!
  • If you are a renter we must have a landlords approval or the pet policy.
  • Once you have decided on an animal, you must fill out an application. An Adoption Counselor then reviews the application.
  • If we feel that the adoption would be beneficial to both you and the animal, the adoption will be approved.
  • The adoption fee ranges from $98 - $148. It is based on many factors, breed, age, etc. All animals are current on vaccinations, spayed or neutered, and micro-chipped.
  • The entire adoption process may take approximately an hour. We stop doing adoptions one hour before closing.
  • Cats must leave wearing a safety collar and in a carrier. Dogs must leave wearing a collar and on a leash. Cats and dogs must leave with a permanent name tag. These are made instantly and can be engraved on both sides. Keep in mind that all proceeds from these items benefit our shelter, as we are a private non-profit charitable organization. Prices are as follows: cat collar $6, cat carrier $10, dog collar $8, dog leash $8 (or $15 for a set), and name tags $8 - $10.
  • Sorry, we do not accept checks for adoptions. We accept cash, Visa, Master Card and Discover credit/debit cards.

Thank you for considering adopting a pet from the RHS Pet Adoption Center .
