Quartzsite has the largest seasonal population fluctuation on Earth. About 3,500 folks call this place home, and millions of RV-driving snowbirds flock here to enjoy our sunny, mild winters and inexpensive, laid-back lifestyle.

Most visitors bring at least one pet with them and, sadly, sometimes these pets are lost. Wandering loose in unfamiliar territory, pets can quickly become coyote fodder. This, in turn, becomes a public safety hazard when hungry wild coyotes sneak into town seeking an easy domestic meal.

Even if a pet is lucky enough to be found, it is sent to the county animal control facility - where it may be euthanized (put to death) if not claimed quickly. This has to stop!
