We've adopted dogs and cats here. We've always had a good experience. I recently rented a trap (only $5/day) to trap a feral cat in our area. The SPCA spayed the cat for free and I brought the cat back and released it. And their training and behavioral staff are PHENOMENAL! Wendi helped train 3 of my dogs, including my 160 lb Great Dane. Wendi is so knowledgeable and so friendly. I don't know where we would have been without her advice. Finally, we take 2 of our dogs to the large dog social nearly every Sunday. So pleasant, for the dogs and for my wife and me. No more dog park worries, just romping fun for everyone.

Thyme, a precious calico mix who had been surrendered with her entire litter, went home with me that day. Thyme will be walking across the rainbow bridge this Friday after a long lifetime of cuddles, treats, sunshine, and love. It's been an amazing 16+ years with my little girl and I'm forever thankful to this organization. This review is for you, Monterey SPCA.

From my childhood visits to the SPCA to now, taking my high school senior daughter here to volunteer, this place has done nothing but wonderful, humane things for our community, animal lovers, and animals of all sorts. A Monterey County gem tucked into the beautiful hills near Laguna Seca. Even if you can't take in or rescue a new companion, this is a great place to visit and at least give them some love.
