The Pasadena Humane Society has been actively involved in assisting pets affected by the recent fires, with over 250 animals taken in within the last 24 hours. The organization's president and CEO, Dia DuVernet, highlighted the collaborative efforts with local shelters to accommodate the influx of animals.
Recognizing the need for a collective response, DuVernet emphasized the importance of community support in the recovery process. She advised pet owners evacuating from the affected areas to ensure their pets have proper identification, sufficient food, and essential supplies. Additionally, she encouraged individuals to arrange for accommodations with someone who can care for their pets.
Monetary donations were identified as a critical requirement by DuVernet to support the Humane Society's ongoing efforts. The organization's ability to provide care and shelter for the increasing number of animals relies heavily on financial contributions from the community.
