The SPCA for Monterey County is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons who abandoned a tiny puppy in Chualar on Tuesday, October 29.
The small eight week old black and white terrier mix was found abandoned in a box on Washington Street in Chualar around 8:15 in the morning. The property owner contacted the SPCA. SPCA Humane Officers responded to the scene to rescue the puppy and bring her back to the SPCA for veterinary treatment and care.
The puppy, who SPCA staff are calling Sally, is now safe at the SPCA. The SPCA gave her a veterinary exam and a warm bath and she is now enjoying clean water, fresh food, and cozy bedding.
If you have any information about this case or can identify the puppy, please contact the SPCA at 831-373-2631. All calls are confidential. To donate to help abused and neglected animals, please call the SPCA at 831-264-5421 or donate online at www.SPCAmc.org.
