66330 DILLON ROAD
DESERT HOT SPRINGS
Established by Charles Stewart in 1964, this 2.5-acre parcel located on a dusty stretch of isolated road is the only official pet cemetery in Riverside County. Originally part of the popular Dogtown grooming/boarding facility, the site has somewhat of an abandoned feel today, populated by overgrown foliage and fading headstones. It, nevertheless, remains the final resting place of more than 2,000 of the Valley’s most beloved pets, including the furry friends of such luminaries as Michael Landon, Jimmy Van Heusen, and Fred Williamson. Liberace buried six of his dogs onsite and President Gerald Ford laid First Pets Liberty and Misty to rest on the premises.
