Several wildfires are continuing to rapidly spread across Los Angeles County , not only displacing thousands of people as well as the pets and wildlife that also call Southern California home.
The Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control and Los Angeles Animal Services are both urging the public to foster if they can. The Los Angeles Animal Services said its six shelters are “extremely full,” sheltering 1,500 animals while LA County Animal Control Manager Christopher Valles said all seven of its care centers are near capacity.
The Pasadena Humane shelter continues to provide emergency medical care to wild animals that have been left orphaned by the Eaton Fire , which has spread at least 13,500 acres across the Altadena/Pasadena area. Many of the animals suffering from smoke inhalation are being treated with oxygen, fluids and more extensive medical care.
The shelter posted an image of a white dog named Roxy completely coated in ash that was found in a collapsed home. Roxy is currently staying at the shelter’s ICU to be treated for severe burns on her body, face and the ulcers in her eyes as well as her extremely inflamed gums.
