Dog abandoned in Seaside, reward offered for information leading to arrest

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 dog in Seaside on Tuesday, February 12th.

The young black and white labrador/pit bull mix was found tied to a fence on Sonoma Avenue in Seaside, just before the big storm was scheduled to hit our area. No owner ever came to find him.

The dog is now safe at the SPCA, enjoying clean water, fresh food and cozy bedding.

If you have any information about this case or can identify the dog, 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.

If caught, the owners could potentially be charged with the following offenses: Penal Code 597 (Animal Cruelty), Penal Code 597(b) (Deprivation of Food, Water, and Shelter), and Penal Code 597s (Abandonment).
