Breaking news!

The City of Los Angeles heard our cries for help. They have now implemented the Shelterly software system and engaged with their disaster response team. Shelterly was created for animal disaster response after the CAMP fires (Paradise, CA) of 2018.

Up until now, rescue efforts for animals has been disjointed and conducted as best as possible by various rescue organizations and individuals. With this centralized number and system in place, rescue efforts will now have a chance to be organized and systematic.

The next step needed that we are begging LA for is to deploy enough rescue teams on the ground to reach every animal left behind.

It is now impossible to get into the burn areas due to the heavy national guard presence, which is even stopping the press.

We will continue to send out updates as we get more information.

On behalf of the Social Compassion and SCIL teams and all the animals, we thank you for your support in this time of desperate need! Our hearts our broken for all of the tragic loss.
