A global nonprofit, Greater Good Charities, is aiding California shelters overwhelmed by the recent devastating wildfires. The organization has arranged an emergency flight to transport 50 dogs and cats from San Diego Humane Society and Orange County Animal Care to shelters in Northern California and Oregon. This will free up space for animals displaced by the fires.
A global nonprofit organized a flight to take dozens of dogs and cats from San Diego Humane Society's shelter to Northern California and Oregon on Friday to clear space for pets from the Los Angeles area. Greater Good Charities will fly 50 animals — 33 of which come from SDHS and the others from Orange County Animal Care — from El Cajon's Gillespie Field.
Greater Good Charities was already mobilizing our response within hours of the outbreak of the fires, said Liz Baker, CEO of Greater Good Charities. This emergency flight is an important part of our larger response to provide critically needed aid to those affected: from displaced families and unhoused populations to injured animals, overwhelmed pet shelters, and damaged ecosystems. This transport lets us step up and give our friends in Los Angeles the support they need during this devastating crisis, and for that we are incredibly grateful, said Gary Weitzman, president and CEO of San Diego Humane Society. The fires in L.A. are heartbreaking, and we're fully committed to doing everything we can to help our neighbors through this. The flight will depart Friday morning and make a stop in Hayward, California, before arriving in Portland, Oregon in the afternoon. The animals will be transported to receiving shelters, where they will be evaluated and receive any medical care needed before being placed up for adoption. According to SDHS, the receiving shelters include Oregon Humane Society, East Bay SPCA, Marin Humane and Humane Society of Sonoma County and Pets in Need. SDHS has already taken in 40 animals that were already up for adoption in Pasadena in order to make space in Los Angeles shelters for animals displaced by the fires. The San Diego Humane Society sent assistance to Pasadena Wednesday as they evacuated pets affected by the multiple fires devastating Los Angeles County
