At the Dunes

05/09/2024

Native Animal Rescue (NAR) has taken in over 160 pelicans since April 18th. These pelicans have lost tremendous weight and have injuries caused by fishing line entanglement. NAR treats their wounds, hydrates them, gives them Ensure for a day or so until they start eating fish. Once they are stable enough to be transported, they are transfered to the International Bird Rescue (IBR) in Fairfield, CA where they'll stay until they're ready to be released.
NAR's small facility is packed to the brim with animals in care. Every few days they transport as many pelicans as IBR is able to accept. This makes room for the constant flow of more and other types of animals. Native Animal Rescue relies almost solely on private donations. It goes towards everything needed to rescue, rehabilitate, and release wildlife such as food,medicines, veterinary services, enclosures, transportation and more

Pajaro Dunes was not affected by the heavy rains and levee breach which devastated the neighboring city of Pajaro.

Thank you for your concern.
