As your new County Supervisor, I’m excited to share that the San Jacinto Valley Animal Campus, a critical part of our community, is slated to reopen in Fall 2023. In listening to your requests and in my dedication to animal welfare and community services, I secured a $3.4 million allocation for our District to reopen the facility.
The reopening of this facility is very important to me and our community. For many years, residents ofSan Jacinto, Hemet, Nuevo, and the Pass area have been unable to access Riverside County’s affordable pet adoption, spaying and neutering services, and public education on animal care. In fact, many presidents have had to travel to our Coachella or Jurupa animal campuses to find their pets.
As we prepare to open the doors once again, we anticipate a significant positive impact on our local community and the overall well-being of our animal population. The official reopening dates have not been announced, but there will be a soft reopening in September, followed by a grand reopening ceremony in October. The public is welcome to attend.
I believe the revival of the San Jacinto Valley Animal Campus underscores the strength of our community’s commitment to animal welfare and exemplifies what we can achieve when we work together. The reopening of this beloved facility will undoubtedly mark a new chapter in our collective effort to ensure every animal in our county has the opportunity to lead a safe and cared-for life.
Sincerely,
Yxstian Gutierrez
County Supervisor, 5th District
