Help for Shelters Housing Animals Evacuated in California Wildfires

Animal shelters and other animal protection organizations may gain temporary custody of animals who have been rescued and evacuated from the fires sweeping through California. Shelters without the resources to house large numbers of animals can adapt and use foster care forms developed by the Animal Legal Defense Fund’s Criminal Justice Program as part of a foster care program to establish temporary foster homes for the animals.
