As the LA fires continue to impact areas across Los Angeles, countless animals—both in shelters and in the homes of families who have been displaced—are facing unimaginable hardship. The devastating LA fires have left many animals without shelter, food, and the comfort. Shelters, rescues, and pet owners across the city are in urgent need of supplies and funds to help care for these vulnerable animals.
Displaced animals have put a strain on animal rescues, shelters, and foster homes. Many animals have been evacuated from danger zones, but now they need our support. From fire victims in shelters to displaced pets who have been taken in by caring individuals, every donation helps.
