Woods Humane Society offers insights on how to help pets affected by the fires
SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY — In response to the tragic fires that have swept through Los Angeles, Woods Humane Society continues to work with Los Angeles County Animal Care & Control to provide and facilitate emergency assistance with their pet rescue efforts.
As of this Tuesday, Woods has completed two transports, transferring adoptable pets from LA (who were available for adoption prior to the disaster) to SLO to make room in those shelters for animals displaced by the fires. Woods has transported 32 dogs and cats, many of whom are now available for adoption at the Woods SLO location. Woods said they have been touched to see an outpouring of interest from the community to provide support for the fire response efforts.
“At this point, the shelters in Los Angeles have communicated that they cannot accept physical donations of pet care items,” says Woods CEO Emily L’Heureux. “Instead, what they need is to transfer their unowned, adoptable pets to make room in their shelters for their emergency response for owned pets. Monetary donations to their shelters will also help them to be able to purchase specific goods and medications to treat injuries, provide advanced medical care, etc.”…
