Coyote mating season is here. For roughly the next 4 to 6 weeks coyotes will be out and about searching for mates. Coyote mating typically peaks in late February and early March, the gestation period averages 58 to 63 days.

You may see coyotes more than you usually do during the day in wooded areas as well as in neighborhoods and back yards. During this time, and at all times, it is very important to keep a close eye on our pets. Cats should be kept inside if possible, especially during low light hours such as early morning and early evening. Dogs of all sizes should be kept on a leash (retractable leashes not recommended) and closely monitored when out in the yard. As pet owners it is our responsibility to take care of our pets and keep them out of harms way and it is not abnormal for coyotes to protect themselves if threatened. In addition, small dogs can be seen as easy prey for coyotes even in back yards - coyotes can easily clear a 6 foot fence. It is recommended that you go outside with your dog. Before letting your dog out and while he/she is out there, check and even make noise to scare off any coyotes that may be in the area. Even the presence of a person in an enclosed yard may deter a coyote from entering.

Thinking about the devastation happening in California right now, the people and the animals, unfathomable 💔

Update on Eaton Fire Emergency:
We have taken in over 300 animals due to evacuations and have staff and volunteers working nonstop to help with their care. We are starting to see many animals coming in with burns and injuries. These animals are being treated in our ICU. We are providing them with pain medications, wound care, fluid, and oxygen as needed.

We’re working with shelters across the state who have offered to take in the animals that were already in our care so that we can focus on providing resources to the displaced animals. A huge thank you to the shelters throughout California who are offering assistance, as well as all people in our community reaching out to volunteer or donate. Our biggest need right now is for monetary donations to help provide emergency resources to animals affected by the wildfires.

If you are being evacuated and can go somewhere with your pets–such as a friend or family member’s home–that is ideal. If you are evacuating, please take your animals with you. We are very thankful that the Pasadena Civic Center has allowed people to stay with their pets. We are helping in any way that we can–providing them with resources such as food and leashes for the displaced families. We also have pet food available at the shelter for those who need it. If you cannot go somewhere that allows your pet to stay with you, you can bring your animals to the shelter where we are offering emergency boarding.

Our Animal Control Officers have been on the ground helping animals in the community. While they are not going into the active fire areas, we are preparing to get in many injured animals that will need our help in those areas once the fires are cleared. If you find injured wildlife, please text our wildlife helpline at 626.344.1129. If you find any other animal, including dogs and cats, please call Animal Control at 626.792.7151 ext. 970.

We anticipate getting in even more animals who are in need of emergency medical care as the fires continue. If you are able to donate, please visit https://give.pasadenahumane.org/give/654134/ #!/donation/checkout
