URGENT URGENT URGENT - shelter completely out of space! 70+ dogs alone taken in last night due to fires, bringing the total up to 150+ dogs. Fire has tripled in size overnight and additional 10,000 homes may have to evacuate. If you have any contacts with TV/radio stations, please contact them to get the word out. Thank you.
From Mary Temple, adoption supervisor at Pasadena Humane Society: Can any of you rescuers and animal lovers help PHS out by bringing crates to our shelter for the fire victims' animals and rescue some of our animals? 361 S. Raymond Ave. Pasadena, CA 91105 PHS will be open by 9 a.m. instead of 11 a.m. on Sunday, August 30th.
The Pasadena Humane Society is the only licensed wildlife center in the 30 mile radius of the wildfires. They are rapidly taking in displaced & injured wild animals, in addition to domestic animals & livestock. The dogs and bunnies are outdoors in this horrible air quality & there are dogs in the P2, P3, P4, P5 kennels facing west w/no shelter from the sun in the afternoon. Please please, if you can adopt or rescue please consider: http://pasadenahumane.org

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.

Josh Grossberg grew up with the usual array of animals: goldfish, dogs, hamsters, parakeets and turtles. He now owns the loudest dog in the South Bay(Video: Rocket the Dog) and is the least popular person on his block. He spends his free time in dog parks, pet shops and always has an extra plastic bag in his pocket just in case. He also has a cat.

We sent over some supplies tonight and they no longer need crates. Thanks for your great post to inform people, they received a lot of help. Now they need cat food puppy pads and old towels as well as great homes to adopt.
