Dog Rescued From Man Hole in Menifee

Director Orders Banning Animal Shelter Evacuation

Animal Services Director Robert Miller ordered the evacuation of all animals at the Banning Animal Shelter.

Miller directed a team of animal control officers and animal care technicians to immediately evacuate the shelter due to the oncoming storms.

“The Banning Animal Shelter’s drainage capacity is not adequate to provide a safe or healthy environment in light of the onslaught of heavy rains expected,” Miller said.

More than 100 animals will be transferred from Banning, including seven horses and three goats.

Animal Services Launches ‘Pit Bull Project’

Too many pit bulls end up in Riverside County shelters and too many of them do not end up in lifelong, loving homes.

Why? Well, many of them were part of unwanted litters. They came into the world because somewhere a pit bull owner allowed their unaltered dog to roam and procreate.

This endless cycle translates to roughly 4,000 pit bulls flowing into Riverside County shelters every year – not including the region’s other government or nonprofit shelters in other cities such as Corona, Indio, Lake Elsinore, Moreno Valley, Norco or Palm Springs.
