Riverside County Department of Animal Services (RCDAS) partnered with Wings of Rescue on Wednesday to transport 22 dogs and 17 cats to Seattle Humane, part of an effort to ease overcrowding at local shelters.

The move comes as RCDAS operates at critical overcapacity for dogs, officials said. To help more pets find homes locally, the department has extended fee-waived adoptions through October 31, including spay/neuter surgery, microchips, vaccinations, and engraved ID tags.

“We can all play a part in helping RivCo pets find their way out of the shelter and into loving homes,” said Fourth District Supervisor V. Manuel Perez. “If we can give 39 pets a new chance in Seattle, we can work together to give even more a new beginning here at home.”
