Dogs connected to an ongoing animal welfare investigation in Newberry Springs are now available for adoption through San Bernardino County Animal Care, giving residents an opportunity to provide the dogs with permanent homes.
The dogs, including puppies born since arriving at the Devore Animal Shelter, have been receiving daily care and veterinary evaluations. Animal Care staff can help prospective adopters find a dog that is a good fit for their family and household.
“Seeing these dogs reach the point where they are ready for adoption is an important milestone,” said Shannon Bailey, acting assistant director of the San Bernardino County Public Health Department. “We are grateful to everyone who has supported their care, and we hope our community will now help give them the loving homes they deserve.”
Adopting the dogs will also help create additional shelter capacity and allow Animal Care to continue serving animals throughout the county. Residents who are not able to adopt can support the shelter by fostering an animal or partnering with Animal Care through a rescue organization.
In response to Animal Care’s initial urgent call for assistance, rescue partners stepped forward to help create space at the shelter. Within five days, rescue organizations took in more than 90 other shelter dogs, providing additional capacity and resources to care for the dogs and other animals in need.
