Pasadena Humane is stepping up to help its four-legged community members affected by the multiple wildfires burning in Los Angeles County.

In a Jan. 8 release, the shelter shared that it has taken in over 300 pets displaced by the blazes.

“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,” Pasadena Humane shared in its release.

On Facebook, Pasadena Humane shared photos of the arriving animals in need of care, including a white dog found outside near one of the fires.

“He is covered in burns and very dehydrated. His paw pads are singed, and he is coated in ash. Despite being understandably shaken from his experience, he is incredibly sweet,” the animal rescue center wrote about the canine in a Jan. 8 post.

The same post also included photos of a cat who arrived “covered in burns” and a bird with burns on its tail. In a Facebook post from earlier on Jan. 8, Pasadena Humane highlighted an orange cat who “came to us in bad shape.”

“He was found outside by a nice community member who rushed straight to us for help. His face and body are covered in burns. Our Veterinary team has wasted no time treating him,” the shelter added on social media.

In its release, Pasadena Humane shared that it is working with shelters across California to transfer healthy animals so its shelter has more room to take in pets affected by the L.A. fires.

The organization added that pet owners who are evacuating due to the wildfires should take their pets with them and not release or leave them behind. Pasadena Humane can take animals in for emergency boarding but recommends trying to keep your pet with you if possible. The shelter noted that Pasadena Civic Center is a designated evacuation site welcoming small pets. According to NBC Los Angeles, large animals can be taken to the L.A. Equestrian Center.

Pasadena Humane also asked L.A. County residents who come across wildlife injured by the fires to contact the organization’s 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,” the shelter added.

Animal lovers outside the L.A. area can donate to Pasadena Humane to help it continue its life-saving work in the face of these fires.

“Our biggest need right now is for monetary donations to help provide emergency resources to animals affected by the wildfires,” the shelter wrote in its release with a link to its donation site.

Pasadena Humane is the closest to the Eaton Fire, located east of Los Angeles in Pasadena and Altadena. The fire has grown to cover an estimated 10,600 acres since starting on Tuesday.

On Thursday, Jan. 9, Los Angeles County Fire Chief Anthony Marrone said the Eaton Fire “has been significantly stopped” but is 0% contained.
