The San Francisco SPCA is waiving adoption fees for puppies to help alleviate the strain on animal shelters in Southern California, impacted by the wildfires.
There is an animal crisis in Southern California as people evacuated from the flames to locations where they couldn't bring their animals. Many stray animals are also separated from their owners. The San Francisco SPCA is stepping in to provide relief by creating space for adoptable dogs and cats from Southern California. The organization is waiving adoption fees for puppies, which normally cost about $400.
Rob Lightner, manager of adoptions at the SF SPCA, said the effort speaks to the organization’s mission to support animals. The goal is to relieve pressure on shelters in Los Angeles, which are already stretched thin. Pasadena Humane, for example, has taken in more than 300 animals due to evacuations and is working around the clock to treat pets with burns and injuries. The SF SPCA is planning to head down to Southern California on Monday and make another trip the following week. In the meantime, all adopted puppies will receive spaying or neutering, microchipping, and vaccinations
