EASTVALE: What To Do If You Have Lost or Found a Pet in City of Eastvale?

By Erika Allis, Owner of The Pet Patrol
EASTVALE – Many residents in Eastvale do not think about where our local shelter is or what to do if their pet goes missing until sadly, they lose a pet. Eastvale is situated between other cities as well as different counties, so we are in a unique predicament. Riverside County Animal Services is who the City of Eastvale contracts with for our animal services. Any stray pet or animal service need is handled by Riverside County. If a resident should lose their pet within our city limits and that pet has been picked up by Animal Services, then the resident should go down in person to the Western Riverside County Shelter to claim their pet. The address to the shelter is 6851 Van Buren Blvd. Jurupa Valley, CA 92509 and their main number is 951-358-7387 (PETS).
What if your pet is found outside of Eastvale in a surrounding city such as Corona, Norco, Chino or Ontario? It can happen and very much so does happen. That is why you should check with all surrounding shelters and not only with Riverside County. If your pet has been found in Chino or Ontario (San Bernardino County) then your pet would be taken to Inland Valley Humane Society, 500 Humane Way, Pomona CA 91766. Their phone number is 909-623-9777. If your pet is found in the City of Corona, then visit their shelter, located at 608 Harrington St. Corona, CA 92880, or call them at 951-736-2309. If your pet is found in the City of Norco, visit their shelter located at 98 Sixth St. Norco, CA 92860 or call them at 951-737-8972.
If your pet is microchipped (as mandated in City of Eastvale) then your pet could be scanned at any local vet, Petsmart or shelter and be reunited with owners fairly quickly. Please remember to register your pet’s microchip and keep it updated; you can get your pet microchipped for as low as $20. If you find a pet in Eastvale, then you can take it any of these facilities mentioned and they can scan the animal for you. Pets that are wearing a collar with a tag containing identification information helps tremendously as well in locating owners, you can purchase a custom pet I.D. tag online for as low as $1.
Shelters do post online photos of many pets that they have listed as stray or found but as a pet owner, do not rely solely on the internet sites to look for your pet. Not all pets are listed online or with photos so you would need to go down in person to shelter and physically check with the animals there when looking for your lost pet. You can report your animal as lost and leave a flyer there at shelter and also handout flyers to local residents in your neighborhood to see if anyone has seen your pet.
Social media also plays a huge role in locating missing pets, many residents ask the City of Eastvale’s Facebook page to post their pet and Eastvale News Facebook Page also posts photos of missing/found pets. In addition, there is an Eastvale Lost and Found Pet Facebook page dedicated to sharing your lost pet’s pictures. All these resources have helped to reunite many owners with their pets so do not rely on just one of these resources, use them all and check neighborhoods different times of day (especially for cats).
We as pet owners have a responsibility to our pets to ensure their safety and give them every chance at finding home should they become separated from us. Many pets are a part of our family and losing them is a family’s worst nightmare. Get your pet licensed, get your pet microchipped, put a tag on your pet, and make sure fences/gates are secured with a lock. A pet’s love is unconditional and unwavering, shouldn’t it go both ways?

What “Feels Good” About Eastvale?

BY JENNIFER MADRIGAL

Eastvale – For the “web savy” individual, immediacy can sometimes seem like a bad thing. The majority of the news comes with a negative spin. So we’ve decided to reach out to our residents and find out more about the great things that happen within our city limits.
This community is amazing and full of great people who work diligently to keep this city one of the best and safest places to live. So, the responses we’ve received share some positive stories that we are sharing them with our readership. We hope that you will feel as inspired and uplifted by these stories as we have been.
From an Anonymous Resident: This year has been an exceptionally difficult year for me. My four children and I were forced out of our home by my husband of 18 years. I have struggled to find a job, a place to live and provide food and essentials with little or no income at all. Even my belongings have been denied and withheld from me. Though we have much to be thankful for, this Christmas was looking pretty meager. On Monday, December 23, a knock came to our door during dinner. Some volunteers were making Christmas deliveries with gifts for the kids from the Eastvale Fire Department. We were in shock. It was a blessing to my family and a beneficial lesson to teach my children about how lives can be changed through giving to our community. We truly have a great city!
Courtesy of Eastvale Lost and Found Pets Facebook Page: One resident was in a horrific crash on the 15 freeway and her Akita jumped out of the window of the car. The car was obliterated and it is a miracle that they both survived. Her dog’s picture was posted on several Facebook pages and the community really banded together to help reunite the owner with her fur-baby! Here is her post of thanks: I would just like to let everyone know that I have finally found my dog after my horrible accident on 12/26/13! Thanks to one man who was kind enough to stop for him on the freeway, pick him up and keep him safe until he was able to contact me. I would like to thank everyone who reposted my message about my lost dog because without the reposts this man would have never found me. Thank you to all who took the time to help me find my love, Kuma!
From Resident Mary Timassy-Nelson: Our neighbor decided to throw a “Christmas Bonfire”. She left flyers at homes of people she didn’t know, but live in our tract (Centex, near Moon Flower and Schleisman). She asked a few of us to bring a desert or an appetizer. She and her husband provided pizza, drinks, and a bonfire. I know a lot of my neighbors, but I met a few new ones who have moved in over the last few months…and I met someone for the first time that has been here as long as I have! It was so much fun watching kids play in the street at 10:00 at night. What is really great is that another neighbor has been setting up a Neighborhood Watch. We have a deputy coming in January for a meeting. Now, I was able to pass the word along to more people! Yea for Eastvale!
