Pets and owners reunited after being separated in Los Angeles fires

AFP English

Pet owners are reunited with their animals at the NGO Pasadena Humane, which took in more that 500 pets when fires broke out in the Los Angeles area on January 6. Some were given to the organisation temporarily by evacuated residents while they had nowhere to keep them, and others are stray animals. Photos of the strays found are being published on the website of the shelter, allowing owners who had to leave them behind when they evacuated the fire to identify them.

00:15What are they doing to you?

00:16We returned over 250 pets back to their families, which is amazing, and we're hopeful that as

00:40more and more areas people are allowed back in, that more people will be able to come

00:46get their pets back from us.

01:00We could see the fire from the front door, and so we just didn't have enough time and

01:06we had to leave him.

01:07I've been checking every day on the Pasadena Humane website to see if any possibility,

01:13if he's there, and last night I saw a picture, and the picture's rough, you can hardly see

01:18him, but I just knew, I think he has singeing on his paws, he has a burn injury on his nose,

01:23and so, and I'm sure he's just so stressed out, and so we're just going to try to take

01:28the best care of him that we can.

01:37He gets put away by the vet.
