Organizations providing relief for pets
The following local organizations are working around the clock to support displaced and lost pets. Visit their websites and social pages to find their latest requests and learn how to best help them, because some are at or reaching capacity for donations. Much of this list comes from World Animal Protection, which has more information here.
Major organizations and shelters
- Pasadena Humane – PasadenaHumane.org / @pasadenahumane
- Pasadena Humane has taken in hundreds of animals affected by the Eaton fire. Due to overwhelming support they have no more capacity for material donations or fosters, and have put a pause on volunteer applications, but are in need of monetary donations.
- Pet owners in need of supplies can come pick up items at Pasadena City College, Lot 4, Level 1.
- LA Animal Services – LAAnimalServices.com / @laanimalservices
- Los Angeles Animal Services has issued an urgent plea for fosters and adopters to take pets from their crowded shelters. This will open space in their six shelters for displaced animals and pets. You can sign up to foster or adopt for free — the adoption fee has been waived.
- LA Animal Services is also accepting monetary donations.
- spcaLA – spcaLA.com / @spcala
- spcaLA is accepting material donations of pet food, blankets, towels, single-serving cream cheese, string cheese, beef hot dogs, and more.
- You can also sign up to volunteer, donate money, adopt for a reduced fee, and foster.
- Los Angeles County Animal Care – AnimalCare.LACounty.gov / @lacoanimals
- LA County Animal Care is operating DACC-staffed shelters for large and small animals.
- They have centers located in Agoura, Baldwin Park, Carson/Gardena, Castaic, Downey, Lancaster, and Palmdale.
- They have waived all fees for local rescues and adoption partners to pull animals from their shelters, and adoption fees for the general public.
- If you’re interested in volunteering, do not show up in person. Email volunteer@animalcare.lacounty.gov for information.
- Best Friends Animal Society – BestFriends.org / @bfas_la
- Best Friends has an emergency response team on the ground assisting other animal welfare organizations.
