On January 12, C.A.R.E.4Paws collaborated on a transport of 34 cats and dogs from three LA shelters alongside Santa Ynez Valley Humane Society & DAWG, ASAP Cats, Meade Canine Rescue and Cold Noses, Warm hearts.
LA shelters are filled with amazing animals looking for homes, and especially large dogs. Our goal was to free up kennel space for all of the pets that are entering shelters due to the devastating LA fires.
Several of the dogs we planned to pull were at risk of being put down for lack of space or medical issues. Many of the 11 cats, all rescued by ASAP Cats, needed extensive medical attention.
Our teams signed the paperwork and carefully loaded all the animals. The shelter staff we met were so excited to see the cats and dogs leave, especially the long-timers and the pets at risk for being put to sleep.
Late on Sunday evening, the transport vehicles pulled up to ASAP Cats and SYVHS/DAWG to drop off pets and also to meet up with foster families taking in some of the C.A.R.E.4Paws dogs.
All 34 pets are safe and many are receiving medical care and lots of love from the rescue staff and volunteers and their foster families.
C.A.R.E.4Paws is not a rescue, but we decided to pull 10 at-risk dogs to help save more lives. Nine of these dogs are now in foster and need to find forever homes.
To support our partner rescues, visit their individual webpages and view adoptable pets.
Big sweet pups Moony and Dougie in the photos above are among nine dogs adoptable through C.A.R.E.4Paws. The kitty is available at ASAP Cats.
Please also consider adopting or fostering from an LA shelter, as so many of the dogs, especially, are being put to sleep due to lack of space.
Thank you for making a pawsitive impact and saving lives!
