Animals may be injured or killed by wildfires. It’s not uncommon to find displaced wildlife (and displaced pets) with signs of malnourishment and dehydration. Never deal with injured, ill, or dead animals on your own. A Los Angeles County animal control specialist should handle the situation.

North Valley Animal Disaster Group (NVADG)

Teams of rescuers have provided animals with food, water, and safety. The NVADG has also established a website in partnership with other organizations. It has images of dogs, cats, farm animals, and exotic pets to help owners reunite with them after displacement by recent Northern California wildfires.

Los Angeles County Animal Care and Control

In 2018, the county’s Animal Care and Control organization sheltered hundreds of animals following the Woolsey and Hill fires. This included hundreds of horses. The facility cares for a wide range of animals, including rabbits, birds, and reptiles.
