A message from our CEO, Laura Toller Gardner:
As we continue to witness the devastating impact of the fires in Los Angeles, our hearts go out to all those affected by this crisis. We are profoundly grateful to the first responders who are working tirelessly to protect both humans and animals during this devastating crisis. Their courage and dedication are truly heroic.
Time is critical. Pets In Need is partnering with Bay Area and LA shelters and rescues to respond swiftly for animals in need. Tomorrow, we begin our first transport of displaced animals from LA, followed by another transport arriving Thursday from the Central Valley, and a flight of dogs and cats on Friday. We will continue with transporting more animals next week, as long as we have capacity.
How can you help?
Adopt: Consider opening your heart and home to one of our shelter animals. By adopting, you not only save a life but also help us make space in the shelter for more incoming animals in need.
Donate: Every animal we rescue comes with significant costs—on average, $700 for food, medical care, spay/neuter, and other essentials for a healthy pet. For animals requiring more extensive treatment, the cost can be even higher. Your support is critical.
These animals have nowhere else to turn—your support is needed now. We are working around the clock to ensure no animal is left behind. But we can’t do this alone. The time to act is now.
Thank you. Together, we can provide hope, healing, and a second chance to animals affected by this tragedy.
