Important Resources for Pet Owners Affected by the California Wildfires
What to do if you need to evacuate with your pets and how you can help the animals who have been displaced from their homes in Los Angeles County.
As I'm writing this story, there are thousands of Los Angeles residents who are being ordered to evacuate their homes as the California wildfires continue. The Watch Duty app<https://app.watchduty.org/> has real-time information on the current blazes. As a pet owner, I wanted to compile information for anyone who has to evacuate with their pet—and for anima lovers who can offer support and help at this time.
This resource list will be continually updated as more information is provided. If you'd like to send me a resource, add a comment to this pet-specific Thread<https://www.threads.net/@jchenwriter/post/DElGRBqSwB6>.
