The SPCA's Seventh Annual Pet Telethon

On April 12, 2008, The SPCA for Monterey County produced the 7th annual SPCA Pet Telethon to benefit all animals in our community! Our telethon featured dozens of wonderful pets looking for new homes, heartwarming adoption stories, pet behavior tips, veterinary information for pet owners, and information about many of the vital programs provided by The SPCA for the animals in our community.  The SPCA for Monterey County raised over $125,000 for the animals - thank you to everyone who watched the Pet Telethon and to all those in our community who support The SPCA’s vital programs and services every day.  And it’s still not too late to donate online or adopt a new family member!
