Progressive Partnership with SPCA Promotes Healthy Pets
An innovative new partnership between the City and SPCA is breaking new ground in the local area. The program is designed to help reduce the number of unwanted and homeless household pets and also assist with programs that support healthy, well-trained pets and knowledgeable pet owners.

Traditionally, the SPCA has provided 1) a home for lost or injured animals until owner and pet are reunited; and 2) adoption and spay/neutering services. However, Monterey and the SPCA are now collaborating to bring training classes and other opportunities directly to Monterey residents. Many of these programs will take place at community centers and other City locations. Look for upcoming opportunities on our Web site and through the local media.

Get great pet care at low prices with
the City/SPCA partnership.
