ANZA, CALIFORNIA — Nearly 500 ducks have been surrendered to Riverside County Animal Services by a rescue sanctuary in Anza in one of the largest animal intakes the county has seen in years, with all 480 birds now available for adoption as authorities work to place the animals into suitable homes across Southern California.
480 Ducks Removed From Anza Rescue Sanctuary in One of Largest County Intakes in Years
The mass surrender of nearly 500 ducks from an Anza-based rescue sanctuary to Riverside County Animal Services represents one of the most significant single animal intake events the county has recorded in recent years. The sheer volume of birds involved placed an immediate and considerable demand on the resources and capacity of county animal services to house and care for the incoming flock.
The circumstances surrounding why the sanctuary surrendered the ducks to county animal services have not been confirmed in available reports, but the scale of the handover points to a situation at the facility that made continued care of the animals no longer possible.
All 480 Ducks Now Available for Adoption Through Riverside County Animal Services
Following the intake process, Riverside County Animal Services has made all 480 ducks available for adoption. Members of the public interested in providing a home for one or more of the birds are encouraged to contact Riverside County Animal Services directly to inquire about the adoption process and requirements for taking in ducks from the surrendered flock.
The range of birds includes both adult ducks and younger birds, giving prospective adopters the opportunity to welcome animals at different stages into their care.
Large-Scale Duck Adoption Drive Underway as County Seeks Suitable Homes
With 480 ducks requiring placement, Riverside County Animal Services faces an ongoing and substantial task in finding appropriate homes for the entire flock. Ducks require specific living conditions including access to water, outdoor space, and appropriate shelter, making the adoption process for this volume of birds a significant logistical undertaking for the county.
Anyone with the suitable space and conditions to care for ducks is being encouraged to come forward and consider adopting from the surrendered flock, as county animal services works to ensure all birds from the Anza sanctuary are placed in safe and appropriate homes as quickly as possible.
