What is now known as the Ramona Humane Society was founded in 1969 by a group of passionate women who wanted to do something about all the lost and abused animals in the area. Lead by sisters Maudie Alticks and Dorothy Berg, the group incorporated and opened the original animal shelter in Homeland, CA. They later moved their shelter to State St. in San Jacinto which currently houses the Animal Medical Center. In 1992, the Society built and opened its current shelter at 690 Humane Way in San Jacinto. The shelter, originally called the Ramona Animal Haven, later became the Ramona Animal Shelter and is now known as the Ramona Humane Society. “The name has changed but not our mission.” stated Jeff Sheppard, Ramona Humane Society’s President/CEO. “Our motto, Advocate, Educate, Adopt, defines who we are and what we have always done. Thank you to all the animal advocates and RHS supporters that have helped us to accomplish our goal of making our community a more humane place for animals. We look forward to another 45 years of serving the people and animals of the valley”.
We suggest you fill out an Adoption Survey. The survey’s purpose is to learn more about your lifestyle and expectations of a new pet. If you decide on a particular pet, please take the cage card to the front counter and speak to an Adoption Counselor. Please ask questions, as Adoption Counselors are knowledgeable about pet care and training and are responsible to know our shelter animals’ personalities. They may suggest other possible matches for a new pet based on all factors involved. We encourage to bring your other dog(s) for “meet and greet” in our “get acquainted area” before you decide. Once the adoption is approved by all parties, the adoption is processed at the front counter. We strongly advised micro-chipping of your new pet in case it ever gets lost or stolen. Microchips are required by law in San Jacinto and the unincorporated areas of Riverside County. All dogs and cats are required by law to be spayed or neutered before leaving the shelter so they do not contribute to the overpopulation problem. This is usually arranged for the next business day and your new pet will go home the day of surgery to start a new life. If your adopted animal appears sick, surgery may be delayed until the animal is better. The animal will remain at the shelter until fit for surgery at no additional cost to the adopter.
