SPCA Monterey County Sheltered 244 Pets Evacuated from Pajaro 124 Evacuated Pets Reunited with their Families

SPCA Monterey County cared for 244 pets evacuated from the Pajaro flood in March 2023, and they are still lovingly caring for over 120 evacuated pets. We also rescued dozens more from flooded areas and reunited them immediately with their loving families and we provided pet food and supplies to all local emergency shelters and to anyone evacuating with their pets.

All disaster response services are free to the community, thanks to the support of donors.

The evacuated pets include dogs, cats, chickens, parakeets, doves, parrots, canaries, cockatiels, pigeons, finches, a rabbit and an iguana.

Since evacuation orders were lifted last week, the SPCA is reuniting pets with their loving families. 124 pets in our shelter have returned home, in addition to the dozens of pets we rescued and immediately reunited with their families.

Thanks to the support from donors the SPCA is sending pet food home with every reunited pet and giving free pet food to everyone in need so residents of Pajaro don't need to add feeding their pets to their list of concerns during this time.

Lake San Antonio Closed Due to Large Scale Fish Die Off; Number of Fish Impacted is Increasing and Reason for Die Off Remains Unknown

July 9, 2024- Out of abundance of caution for public health, County of Monterey Parks is closing the Lake San Antonio facility due to a large-scale fish die off from an unknown cause. On July 5, 2024, Parks staff noticed that dead baitfish, mostly shad, began washing up on the shore around Lake San Antonio and immediately contacted California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to report the situation.
