The Mary S. Roberts Pet Adoption Center is in the planning stage for a much-needed low-cost spay/neuter/vaccination clinic on the facility campus. The clinic would provide additional resources to assist the community in responsible pet ownership.

The Mary S. Roberts Pet Adoption Center is a non-profit, public benefit charitable organization serving communities in Riverside County and beyond. As the largest no-kill pet adoption organization in Riverside County, the Center accepts owner turn-ins of cats and dogs and transfers from local animal-control agencies. Prior to adoption, each animal is spayed or neutered, vaccinated, evaluated for behavior issues, and microchipped. Each animal also is monitored for physical, emotional and mental health, and receives ongoing socialization. For more information, visit www.petsadoption.org.
