The recent Los Angeles wildfires have left many animals in urgent need of help. In the coming days, more and more animals suffering from burns and other injuries will require critical medical care.

Lakefield is supporting Pasadena Humane, which has taken in over 400 animals since the fires began and is at capacity with drop-offs and goods donations. They are in greater need of monetary support to assist with treatment and ongoing care.

We are doing our part by matching up to $5,000 for the Pasadena Humane to help support lifesaving care for these animals, you can donate directly through this social media post.

Together, we can make a difference. 💕
