I received an email from Dr. Jonnie Quantz at Animal Emergency Referral Center today updating us on that clinic's involvement in the recent brush fire: 

Just wanted to let you know the Animal Emergency Referral Center at 3511 Pacific Coast Hwy in south Torrance did take in 2 fire evacuee dogs on Thursday night. No injuries, thank goodness.

We contacted Channel 9, the Torrance PD and Torrance Animal Control to get the word out. AERC is the city and Disaster Team veterinary hospital for the city of Torrance and the South Bay. We are always open - 24 hours a day/ 7 days a week. Disasters inevitably happen at the worst possible time with minimal resources available and I just want to let you know we are always there to help. 

And see today's Daily Breeze article about the volunteers who all pitched in to make sure the Peninsula's animals weren't left behind.

About the Bloggers

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.
