Help provide emergency rescue, care, food, and shelter for animals and underserved families affected by California's wildfires
Over the past weeks, out-of-control wildfires that continue to burn have devastated Southern California, leaving families and their beloved animals in urgent need of help. Homes have been destroyed, communities displaced, and countless dogs, cats, and other animals are injured, vulnerable, and scared.
These fires are some of the most devastating in California's history and could very well become one of the worst natural disasters in U.S. history. Thousands continue to flee their homes, and critical infrastructure has been destroyed.
