Palm Springs Animal Shelter Assists Evacuated Pet Owners with Essential Supplies
In response to the wildfires ravaging Los Angeles County, the Palm Springs Animal Shelter is offering much-needed assistance to pet owners who have been evacuated to the Coachella Valley. The shelter is providing essential supplies, including pet food, leashes, bowls, crates, beds, and puppy pads, to those whose pets were affected by the fire and evacuation orders. These supplies are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and the shelter is urging evacuees to come by as soon as possible.
The Palm Springs Animal Shelter will be open this weekend from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. to distribute these donations, ensuring that pets in need have access to the resources required to stay safe and comfortable during this difficult time. The shelter is playing a vital role in the community by providing not just shelter for animals but also supporting pet owners who are facing uncertainty due to the ongoing fires.
This initiative is part of a broader effort across the Coachella Valley to support those impacted by the wildfires. As people in the region come together to help, the Palm Springs Animal Shelter’s generosity highlights the importance of caring for both humans and their pets during times of crisis.
