If you, like us, wish you could help in California, here’s a list of animal-related organizations that we trust are doing the best work for animals in the fires. It’s short, but we also aren’t there to know much more than the rest of you.
Money is the easiest way to get organizations what they need. Don’t send stuff unless you see on the organization’s actual official page a current request.
- Pasadena Humane – They have a page up for current needs and information for residents needing food and supplies for their pets. They are definitely an organization doing the hard work. This would be our #1 recommendation.
- Best Friends – On the ground in Los Angeles, offering help and support to other local animal welfare organizations while also working to ensure the safety of our own pets and staff.
- ASPCA – is also on the ground.
- Wings of Rescue – is in the air, partnering with Best Friends to help evacuate affected pets.
What else can you do?
We have our own share of fires and other disasters. Take this as a good opportunity to make sure your own emergency bags are packed, including items and plans for your animals, large and small.
