We’ve compiled a list of emergency shelters and rescues helping wild and companion animals affected by the California wildfires.
As wildfires sweep across California, countless animals are facing life-threatening danger. From displaced pets to vulnerable wildlife, these animals urgently need shelter, rescue, and care. We are committed to providing critical resources and support to protect animals affected by these fires:
“The devastating California fires continue to wreak havoc, leaving communities, families, and countless animals in their deadly path. We’re supporting local organizations working tirelessly to rescue and care for animals, who are often forgotten in disasters, and we’re deeply grateful for those helping in this heartbreaking crisis. Our hearts are with all who are impacted.” - Lindsay Oliver, Executive Director
