"During emergencies, animal shelters become vital community resources, and we're seeing that play out right now," says Dr. Jennifer Scarlett, CEO of the San Francisco SPCA.
"Many shelters in the affected areas were already over capacity before the fires began. In San Francisco, we're able to transfer their existing shelter animals to our shelter, so that they can maintain space for displaced pets closer to home, maximizing the chance of reunion with their families."
"The SPCA launched a promotion last weekend, like they had around the holidays, offering fee-free adoptions of puppies, which resulted in 25 puppies getting adopted along with 46 other animals."
"In order to make room for the incoming animals from Los Angeles, the organization is also seeking volunteers, in particular those willing to foster dogs, and if you're interested you can apply here. No prior training is necessary."
