Amidst the devastating Southern California wildfires, animal shelters like Pasadena Humane have been crucial in taking care of over 400 displaced animals. These include a pitbull named Canela found amidst rubble and a horse sanctuary flooded by distressed horses and donkeys. Many animals show severe injuries due to the blazes.

With increasing numbers of injured animals and displaced peoples' pets, Pasadena Humane has transitioned into longer-term housing for animals. More volunteers and donations are driving efforts to care for these pets until their owners can safely return home.
