NEW SITE’S GOAL IS HAPPY HOMES

Chino Hills resident Lisa Price, executive director of Priceless Pets rescue, was recognized as “Woman of the Year” in the non-profit organization category by State Senator Josh Newman.

“Riley” has been patiently waiting ..The little terrier — he’s maybe 4 or 5 years old — will hopefully have a better opportunity to find a forever home now that he is moving into Priceless Pet Rescue’s new Costa Mesa adoption center.

The city contracts with the nonprofit rescue group to handle getting new homes for unwanted, abandoned and stray animals in Costa Mesa.

But before the Jan.12 (2019) opening of its adoption center in the city, Priceless Pets Rescue was using its other two facilities — in Chino and Claremont — or foster homes to house animals awaiting adoption.

 is in a retail setting. That should get way more eyes on Riley and the other dogs, cats and occasional miscellaneous pets looking for a home.

Costa Mesa previously contracted with the Huntington Beach Humane Society for shelter services, but about a year ago switched over to providing services through Newport Center Animal Hospital and Priceless Pets Rescue, city spokesman Tony Dodero said.

Animals picked up by Costa Mesa’s animal control officers or given up by owners first go to the animal hospital.

Those that aren’t claimed by their owners or who are good to find new homes are then picked up by Priceless Pets Rescue. “It has been extremely successful,” Dodero said. The Orphanage has room for 50 pets, half dogs & half cats.

There are glass-enclosed dog suites,cat condos, a community room for cats to roam in, an outdoor play yard for dogs to romp in and meet-&-greet rooms for potential matches, said Lisa Price, executive director of Priceless Pets Rescue.

The facility is about 2,200 square feet. “We try to give the animals the best chance possible to get a new home,” Price said. “That is helped by being visible to the public.”

The group is volunteer run and Price said folks have been eager for the adoption center to open so they can help with the daily walking of dogs, playing with cats and other chores.

“We have 50 volunteers ready to get their hands dirty,” she said.

Price helped found the group in 2007. In the real estate industry at the time, she watched as the housing market tank & people losing their homes.

Ms. Price saw first-hand the animals which were left without homes and crowding into shelters. Euthanasia rates jumped, she said, and Priceless Pets Rescue was started to help. It opened its first adoption center in 2011 and now finds homes for about 200 pets a month.

Price said she hopes the Costa Mesa location will help add another 100 animals to that statistic.

Priceless Pets Rescue is a no-kill facility. All the animals have been spayed or neutered, they have microchips and are up-to-date on vaccinations.

Those adopting are asked to pay a $150 donation to the nonprofit.
