Many of those people have pets that cannot go with them to evacuation centers or hotels. As we found, shelters like the Pasadena Humane Society have taken in hundreds of pets and are preparing for even more.

On Wednesday afternoon, four staff members from the San Diego Humane Society departed for Pasadena, where they will assist in the evacuation of pets affected by the devastating fires in the Los Angeles area.

San Diego Humane Society shelters were already overcrowded, but when the Pasadena Humane Society called for help evacuating animals form the Eaton wildfire, it stepped up. Wednesday night, two teams from San Diego went to the Remy Chatain Animal Care Center & Shelter to pick up 11 dogs.
