480 rescued ducks up for adoption in Riverside County California
Riverside County Animal Services rescued 480 ducks from an overcrowded animal sanctuary in Anza and is now putting them up for adoption. The sanctuary owner was caring for too many animals in poor conditions.
Riverside County Animal Services rescued 480 ducks from an animal sanctuary in Anza after investigators found overcrowded conditions. The property owner was caring for ducks, geese, and other animals but couldn't provide proper care for so many.
A spokesperson for Riverside County Animal Services called this "the largest intake" of its kind. The sanctuary is closing, and the owner surrendered the animals to the county rather than face legal action.
The county is now working to find new homes for all 480 ducks. People interested in adoption can contact Riverside County Animal Services directly.
Animal sanctuaries sometimes take in more animals than they can handle, leading to overcrowding and poor living conditions. When this happens, county officials step in to protect the animals.
This is the largest duck rescue in county history. If you live in Southern California and want a pet duck or farm animal, hundreds are now available for adoption through the county.
The county will process adoption applications for the 480 ducks over the coming weeks.
