3 Kincade-Fire Shelter Dogs Are Ready For Adoption

PETALUMA, CA — Have room in your home and heart for another family member? Three of 11 dogs relocated this week from Petaluma and Rohnert Park shelters because of the Kincade Fire are now screened and ready for adoption at the East Bay SPCA.

The pups were transferred Oct. 28 from North Bay Animal Services in Petaluma and Rohnert Park Animal Shelter as those facilities made room for pets displaced by the massive wildfire that broke out Oct. 23 near Geyserville. As of Friday morning, the Kincade Fire, at 68-percent containment, has scorched 77,758 acres, destroyed 167 homes plus other buildings and led to mass evacuations of residents.

"As with all animals in our shelter, we are doing everything we can to prepare these animals for adoption," said Allison Lindquist, East Bay SPCA president. "This includes medical assessment and treatment, behavior assessment, socialization, nutrition, exercise and spay/neuter surgery, if needed."

The three relocated dogs, now prepped to find their forever homes, are Malcolm, a 1-year-old Chihuahua-dachshund mix described as an "intelligent" fellow, Logan, a 2-year-old, male Siberian Husky-mix, a blue-eyed beauty with lots of energy, and Cheesy, a mellow and active, 5-year-old male, shepherd-Labrador mix, according to officials.

Malcolm, Logan and Cheesy currently are at East Bay SPCA's Oakland facility. Those interested when more of the dogs become available can check the organization's website that features animals in Dublin and in Oakland.

Lindquist also added that the East Bay SPCA is offering boarding space for cats and dogs of families who are in the East Bay due to the Kincade evacuation. Space is limited, but those interested can contact Raquel Bernaldo at (510) 563-4627 or rbernaldo@eastbayspca.org.
