Animal Foster Care for Evacuees of Las Conchas Fire

Volunteer Update: Las Conchas Fire

SFAS&HS stands ready to help and house animals that have been evacuated as a result of the Las Conchas fire.

Animals are already arriving from voluntary evacuees. If animals continue to come in, we will need your assistance.

We may need volunteers who can take in shelter adoption animals for short-term fostering to make room for evacuated pets.

At this time, we are ONLY in preparatory stages: we are assembling information and resources. Please do not come to the shelter just yet as the need does not currently require it.

If you are able to take one or more foster animals, please let me know your cell phone or other reliable contact number as well as numbers and species (dog or cat) that you can foster. We will have a limited number of carriers and kennels, but would like to reserve those as much as possible for shelter evacuees.

We may also need K9 walkers to come to the shelter and the satellite clinic.

We may also need volunteers at the shelter to direct traffic, do crowd control, assist with registration, and other duties.

If you can help in any of these areas, please let me know by emailing me at tmercado@sfhumanesociety.org.

Thanks,
Tiffany Mercado
Volunteer Coordinator
