    Animal Shelters in Riverside, CA

    Riverside has 13 listed animal shelters and rescue organizations, in Riverside County. About half are rescue organizations. Jurupa Valley and Norco, both within about six miles, have listings of their own. There is no shortage of choice in Riverside — old dogs, shy cats, and a fair few who will pick you first.

    Riverside has 13 listed at the moment, and they are shown above with the ones that have photos first.

    A mix of both, and the difference is worth knowing before you set out. A rescue usually places animals from a network of foster homes rather than from premises you can walk into, so you generally arrange a meeting first. A shelter or humane society more often has a facility you can visit during opening hours.

    The Riverside listings all fall in Riverside County, which is worth knowing if you are checking whether a shelter takes animals from your area.

    If nothing here suits, Jurupa Valley, Norco and Corona all have listings within about nine miles. Each one links through from the sidebar.

    Every listing here carries a phone number, and some link to the organization's own website. Calling ahead is worth it — opening hours change, and rescues often work by appointment rather than keeping a building open.
