✈️🐾 30 shelter pets. One lifesaving flight. Countless new possibilities!

Earlier this week, 30 shelter pets, nearly all big dogs, took to the skies with Wings of Rescue for a fresh start!

Of the 30 pets, 26 headed to Seattle Humane in Washington, while four made their way to Mountainside Hope in Canada, where they'll have new opportunities to find loving homes.

These lifesaving flights do more than give shelter pets a second chance. They also free up critical kennel space for the animals who continue to arrive at our overcrowded shelters every day.

❤️ Every flight makes a difference, and every donation helps us continue this lifesaving work.

✈️ Help make the next flight possible: rcdas.org/donate

A special thank you to Wings of Rescue, Seattle Humane and Mountainside Hope for helping us give these deserving pets a new beginning! 🐶❤️

From Lost & Injured to Healed & Home❤️‍🩹

Candy (A1936121) was brought to our Riverside shelter as a stray on September 6th. She was frightened, in distress, and unable to tell us where she came from or how she was injured.

Our veterinary team saw that she could not put any weight on her right back leg and could only stand for a few seconds before the pain was too much. After a careful check and X-rays, they found she had several broken bones in her pelvis and thigh. Candy was transported to the Coachella Valley Animal Campus, where Dr. Snook performed lifesaving surgery by amputating her injured leg.

Despite all the hardships she suffered, Candy's spirit remained unbroken. She wagged her tail, accepted pets from every staff member, and melted hearts with her sweetness, showing that even during one of the most painful experiences, she still had love to give.

Candy quickly adjusted to her new situation. She learned how to walk steadily on three legs, and it was clear she was ready for a new home. She was adopted on September 23, and we're thankful we were able to help her continue her journey.
Cases like Candy's are not unusual among our shelter animals. Every day, animals arrive lost, hurt, and scared, and they need a safe place to heal while they recover.
If you want to help animals like Candy, you can visit our Most Vulnerable Pets page and donate to our Animal Health Fund to give pets a second chance.

A fishing hook left this heron injured and unable to fly. Thankfully, help arrived. 🐦💙

Our Animal Control team recently responded to a call about an injured heron at Fairmount Park. When our officer located the bird, they found a fishing hook and line lodged in its wing.

The heron was brought to our shelter, where our veterinary team sedated the bird, took X-rays and assessed the injury. They successfully removed the hook and line, provided pain medication and gave the heron time to recover.

Then came the best part. Our Animal Control Officer returned to Fairmount Park and released the heron back home. 💙

From emergency rescues to veterinary care, your support helps us respond when animals across Riverside County need us.

Donations help provide medical care, supplies and resources for animals in need. Give today and help us continue stories like this one.
