Liz, The wildfires in Los Angeles have caused devastating destruction, leaving thousands of families in crisis, wildlife killed, injured, and displaced, and communities in urgent need of support. While the Endangered Species Coalition (ESC) does not work on the ground in Los Angeles County, we recognize that this emergency requires a collective response. You can help firefighters, wildlife, and other animals by participating in Explore.org's 5:1 match for the Pasadena Humane Society or the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation, who are rescuing animals displaced by the fires. Visit Explore.org's website or Facebook page for more information. ESC member organization, Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) has more information here about animal-related response to the wildfires including additional ways to help. You can also help those who are in need of immediate support through this tandem fundraising page supporting 5 organizations who are serving communities in need right now. These organizations are each providing vital resources to those impacted--both human and non-human. Please consider donating if you are able. Thank you, The Endangered Species Coalition Connect with Us If you would like to contact us, please visit our website at endangered.org. Sent via ActionNetwork.org.

Pasadena Humane Society

California : Fires cause much hardship for pets and widilfe as well as humans. Monetary help is the #1 need at Pasadena Humane Society now so that they can acquire supplies as needed.

Here is a report by ABC regarding the situation at Pasadena Humane Society subsequent to the Eaton fire: https://youtu.be/qMcXp3W69fI?si=jq0yP3xaN0sVjrxu

I read that one shouldn't assume people left their animals behind on purpose. Tthe fires started at ~10:30 AM and evacuation orders were issued two hours later, and many people would have been at work.
