How To Help Pets In Need, Near California Fires

"Dear Friends,

The massive wildfires currently burning in California have destroyed homes, forced residents to evacuate, and left defenseless animals injured and scared. The wildfires have now been deemed the deadliest and most destructive fires in state history.

Our LA-based American Humane team, whose communities have been directly impacted by the wildfire’s devastation, has stepped up to support local relief efforts and help animals in need of emergency medical care and treatment. Our team delivered much-needed pet supplies and food to an evacuation center housing displaced families with pets, and yesterday, we answered the call of a local group in need of licensed veterinarians.

At the temporary shelter, our Chief Veterinary Officer, Dr. Kwane Stewart, helped local veterinarians treat and care for animals who were injured by the fires, like a German Shepherd who was found caught in a fence trying to escape and suffered severe burns on all four of his paws. Thankfully, this sweet boy is now on the road to recovery after undergoing a successful procedure. There was also a cat who suffered burns and smoke inhalation from the fires who is now on the road to recovery after receiving critical medication and spending time in an oxygen tent.

It breaks our hearts to witness animals suffering in the midst of natural disasters, and we’re honored to support local relief efforts to help California’s injured, scared, and shaken animals. To help American Humane continue to care for animals in times of natural disasters, and support all of our lifesaving programs, please make a donation today.
