Salinas Animal Shelter asking people to adopt cats or dogs, to make room for other rescues

Salinas, Calif.-Today we found out folks at the SPCA for Monterey County took over 5 adult cats and 1dog from the Salinas Animal Shelter. As Central Coast News told you on Thursday the shelter was at full capacity and needed to have at least 12 dogs and 3 cats adopted ASAP. Otherwise, the shelter was going to have to humanely euthanize some cats and dogs.

 

Well, even though they have had a little help from the SPCA and other non-profits have reached out to help, many animals still need a home! So, if you are looking to expand your family with a furry friend please consider adopting from the Salinas Animal Shelter. These animals really need a good home!

 

Salinas Animal Shelter: 831.758.7446 they are located at 144 Hitchcock Rd in Salinas.  They are open Tuesday- Saturday from 12pm to 5pm.

SALINAS, Calif- Bono is living at The SPCA for Monterey County and he is looking to be adopted after suffering from a severe leg injury. If you are looking to take home the lead singer of U2 you will be out of luck because this rock star is a terrier.

The cost to adopt Bono is $150 that includes his neuter surgery, microchip and vaccines.

Last month Bono was rescued from a home in Soledad. The SPCA got a call from a concerned citizen who had seen a matted and dirty dog that looked like "its leg was falling off".

Humane Officers went to the house to investigate and found the small, dirty dog whose right front leg was purple and black and had bone protruding through the matted fur.
