About Our Pets
The RISPCA places owner surrendered pets. We are not an animal control agency, so do not handle lost or stray pets. If you are missing your pet, please contact your local animal control agency as soon as possible.

The dogs you see listed have received a temperament evaluation. All dogs have a temperment test before they are available for adoption. The information we have provided about the pets listed here is based on the behavior we have seen at the shelter as well as the information we were given from the previous home.

You may notice some of our animals listed are Marvin's Friends. Marvin selects special animals to help give them a better chance at adoption. These animals may be elderly, need medication, have a special diet, or maybe they have just been at the shelter for a long time. These are special animals in need of a special home.
