Seattle Humane Flying in 60 Cats, Dogs to Help Shelters Impacted by LA Wildfires

In response to devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, Seattle Humane is facilitating the transport of 60 cats and dogs from local shelters to Washington State. The initiative, which involves collaboration with Wings of Rescue and Paws 4 Life K9 Rescue, aims to ease the strain on shelters in California by providing a safe haven for these animals. Flights carrying the pets are scheduled to arrive at Boeing Field, where they will receive essential health checkups before being made available for adoption as early as Tuesday. Brandon Macz, PR & Social Media Specialist for Seattle Humane, noted that this rescue operation is vital for freeing up shelter space for more displaced pets in California. To further support these rescues, special icons will be added to their kennel cards on the Seattle Humane adoption page.

The organization is actively seeking community involvement through donations and fostering opportunities to help these animals in dire need. This effort highlights the compassionate response of the Seattle community in times of crisis, emphasizing the importance of helping vulnerable pets. With many residents eager to assist, the initiative showcases a collaborative spirit in addressing the needs of animals affected by natural disasters.
