lesliepear | How to help animals affected by the California Wildfires

The Orange County Humane Society in Huntington Beach (South Orange County)
is taking in a large number of dogs from San Diego rescues that are being
evacuated due to the fires. They are now extremely full and could use either
offers for temporary fostering or help in recruiting other area rescue
groups. Anyone interested in helping out can call the Orange County Humane
Society at 714-536-8480.

Also, Doberman Pinscher Rescue in Fillmore is preparing for evacuating and
needs to borrow as many large crates as possible. If you can donate, please
drop crates off at the Fillmore Animal Hospital at (702) 293-1993.

Also, the West Valley Shelter and the San Bernardino County Shelters are
desperately in need of volunteers to help with basic kennel cleaning duties.

(They are also on standby to evacuate if needed.) Many of their regular
employees are being called out in the field to deal with emergency rescues,
and these shelters are very short-staffed at the home front. Contact numbers

are:

West Valley Shelter - (213) 385-5767
San Bernardino County Shelter - (909) 887-8055

Also, all San Diego County Shelters could use volunteers at this time. For
contact information please go to this website:

These people are serving as contacts for volunteers who can help with
evacuating and fostering displaced animals, and assisting in any other way.
