The organization reminds pet owners to have an evacuation plan for their families and their pets.
SAN DIEGO — The San Diego Humane Society sent more crews up to Pasadena Thursday to help out with the Eaton wildfire that continues to burn.
Crews are bringing dogs from the Pasadena shelter back to San Diego. Wednesday night, crews returned with 11 dogs. Thursday they returned with 28 dogs and one kitten.
These are dogs that were already up for adoption in Pasadena. By bringing dogs to San Diego, they are freeing up shelter space for pets that are displaced due to the fire.
“The fires in Los Angeles are devastating,” said Jordan Frey, Marketing Manager for the San Diego Humane Society. “We know they’re affecting thousands of people. The Pasadena Humane Society is seeing hundreds of animals burned and evacuated from their homes coming to them for care right now. We were grateful to step in and help when we got that call they needed assistance.”
The dogs brought to the Oceanside campus are all different breeds, including German Shepards as well as a Beagle-mix.
They will be up for adoption soon.
The San Diego Humane Society is already overcrowded with dogs looking for homes.
