Tiny was one of our April Project Get Out pups, and her story is a reminder of why this program matters. ❤️ At 104 lbs, she was severely overweight and declining in the shelter, but stepped in and pulled her just in time. Thankfully, her vet exam came back healthy which gives her the chance to start the next chapter focused on healing, movement, and becoming the happiest, healthiest version of herself. We can't wait to see Tiny thrive!

Skin irritation in dogs can happen for a variety of reasons, from seasonal allergies and environmental triggers to underlying health concerns. Knowing what changes to look out for and keeping track of symptoms over time can help pet parents catch discomfort early. If signs worsen or persist, it’s important to consult your veterinarian to help keep your pup healthy, comfortable, and supported. 🦮

Introducing 'Project Get Out'

In partnership with Jason Heigl Foundation and Two Pups Wellness Fund, we are launching a new program designed to help dedicated rescue partners save more lives. Project Get Out is simple: transfer a dog that’s been in RCDAS care for more than 21 days and receive $500.

The first dog to be rescued from the program is one-year-old Buckaroo, who was at the Western Riverside Animal Shelter for 34 days. The Mary S. Roberts Pet Adoption Center is now helping the playful Doberman Pinscher find a home!

“We understand the huge effort that goes into rescuing a single dog from a shelter, and we are eager to support rescues who step up to save a life through Project Get Out,” said Nancy Heigl from the Jason Heigl Foundation.

Due to the generosity of the Jason Heigl Foundation, RCDAS is launching the first iteration of Project Get Out and will need ongoing fundraising to cover future costs. The public can support this effort by donating directly to Two Pups Wellness Fund, where donations will go directly to saving RivCo dogs: www.twopups.org/donate/

“Two Pups Wellness Fund is excited to partner with Riverside County and the Jason Heigl Foundation to expand our already successful Arizona-based program,” said Two Pups Wellness Fund Executive Director Bip Haley. “By working together, we can save even more lives in Riverside County.”

This initiative is part of several new programs implemented by RCDAS as part of the RivCo Rise commitment to help more pets leave the shelter system and improve the live release rate for dogs and cats. The first phase of Project Get Out will be available to rescues by invite-only. Interested rescue organizations can send an email to [email protected] to learn more about the program.

For 302 days, Doobie waited. 💔
He entered the Pinal County Shelter just shy of 6 months old and spent nearly 10 months of his young life growing up behind kennel doors, watching other dogs get chosen while he continued to be overlooked. Despite being a volunteer and staff favorite, Doobie somehow kept getting passed by. At only 1 year and 4 months old, this sweet boy has already spent most of his life waiting for someone to finally see him. Thankfully, was able to pull him from the shelter through Project Get Out to start decompressing from him long journey in the shelter. 🐕
