Is your pet misbehaving? Call the Mary S. Roberts Pet Adoption Center’s Free Pet Behavior Help Line!
RIVERSIDE, CA, March 10, 2010 — The Mary S. Roberts Pet Adoption Center (formerly Riverside Humane Society Pet Adoption Center) has a free Pet Behavior Help Line to assist pet owners in understanding and working through their pet’s behavior problems. The Pet Behavior Help Line helps with behavior issues before the problem becomes so unbearable that the animal is given up to an animal shelter.
By reducing the number of pet turn-ins due to misbehavior, local shelters may reduce the number of pets euthanized each year. This free, volunteer-driven service addresses most dog and cat behavior issues, including house soiling, nuisance barking, escaping, destructive behavior, crate training, and introducing cats to cats, dogs to dogs, and dogs to cats, as well as channeling mental and physical energy and more.
This service is available to dog and cat owners throughout the Inland Empire. Call the Pet Behavior Help Line at 951-688-4340, ext. 6, leave a detailed message, and receive helpful information in the mail. A trained Help Line counselor will follow up by phone for a personalized discussion about the pet’s issues.
For answers to some common pet behavior problems, visit www.petsadoption.org and click on ‘Pet Behavior.’ Owners may submit their questions through the web site instead of calling.
Please be advised that some cases of aggression and phobias or severe fears are out to the scope of this service. Pet owners will be referred to veterinarians and certified animal behaviorists for assistance.
The Mary S. Roberts Pet Adoption Center is a non-profit, public benefit charitable organization serving communities in Riverside County and beyond. As the largest no-kill pet adoption organization in Riverside County, the center accepts owner turn-ins of cats and dogs and transfers from local animal-control agencies. Prior to adoption, each animal is spayed or neutered, vaccinated, evaluated for behavior issues, and microchipped. Each animal also is monitored for physical, emotional and mental health, and receives ongoing socialization. For more information, contact the Mary S. Roberts Pet Adoption Center at 951-688-4340 or visit www.petsadoption.org.
