The Los Angels County Animal Care Foundation (ACF) is in need of donations to support the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control (DACC) in its mobilization of resources and personnel to assist the communities of Pacific Palisades, Altadena, and other communities in danger in response to the ongoing fire evacuations. The ACF and DACC are dedicated to providing support for animal sheltering and evacuation efforts to ensure the safety and well-being of pets, livestock, and their owners during this challenging time.
The ACF’s Noah’s Legacy Fund exists to provide emergency rescue supplies and equipment to keep pets and livestock safe during these emergencies. Funds go towards animal rescue, sheltering, food, medical care, and support for families to care for their animals after the emergency.
The ACF, DACC, and animals and their families in danger will be grateful for the public’s support. Donations may be made on the ACF’s website at www.lacountyanimals.org. The ACF is a four-star rated charity with Charity Navigator and has received a Platinum Transparency rating from Candid.
