Animal Evacuation
update from San Diego Humane Society
UP-TO-DATE INFORMATION ON ANIMAL EVACUATIONS
AND RESCUES
The San Diego Humane Society's Animal Rescue Reserve (ARR) team is currently
working with the San Diego County Department of Animal Services to evacuate
domestic animals and livestock threatened by the Harris and Witch Creek
fires. Together, 6 teams of staff are working to rescue animals in
need.
Residents that need to evacuate their homes are asked to take all companion
animals with them. If possible, place your pet in a crate or carrier and
bring any necessary supplies including leashes, food, water, and medications as
supplies at evacuation centers may be limited. More tips can be found online at
www.sdhumane.org.
Most Red
Cross evacuation centers are accepting pets in carriers. If you do not have or
were unable to pet your pet in a carrier or need pet supplies, bring your pet to
one of the following Red Cross evacuation centers:
Qualcomm Stadium -- 9449 Friars Road
Mira Mesa High School -- 10510 Reagan
