Riverside County Animal Services Removes Two Dogs from a Property in Cabazon
Riverside, CA —July 9, 2026 –On Thursday, July 9, an Animal Control Officer removed two dogs from a property in Cabazon with assistance from the Riverside County Sheriff's Office. This is in response to a social media video where a dog was seen being repeatedly hit and thrown by an individual.
The department is actively coordinating care during the mandated fourteen-day confiscate hold. The confiscated dogs will not be available for placement during the department’s investigation.
The investigation is ongoing and anyone with more information is asked to contact the department directly.
While this investigation continues, RCDAS is asking the community to help other shelter pets in need. The department's shelters are currently operating at 230% capacity, creating an urgent need for adopters and foster families.
Every adoption opens space for another animal in need. Fostering gives shelter pets a temporary place to stay while creating critical kennel space.
