Our amazing friends at interviewed General Manager Leigh Anne Claywell and others to bring attention to animal rescue needs during devastating disasters like the fires happening now across LA County.

The pitbull mix arrived at Pasadena Humane covered in ash, his paw pads ulcerated from walking on fire debris, his lungs choked with smoke. A good Samaritan found the dog lying in rubble in Altadena, wrapped him in a blanket and brought him to the shelter.
