In early January, the Eaton Fire ravaged the Altadena and Pasadena area, leading to widespread evacuations and significant challenges for both residents and their pets. Since the crisis began, Pasadena Humane has been providing critical support to pets and their owners, taking in more than 900 animals. The shelter’s ICU has treated animals suffering from burns, dehydration and smoke inhalation. Thanks to the dedicated staff and volunteers at Pasadena Humane, countless pets have been safely returned to their families.
