California Wildfire Animal Relief Fundraising

Our hearts go out to all the pets and people in California who have been affected by the devastating Camp, Hill and Woolsey Fires.

In addition, select VCA hospitals are offering free boarding for pets displaced by the fires so that their families can focus on other priorities at this time.

Please donate when you visit one of our hospitals, or online by visiting vcacharities.org/donations/.
