Los Angeles Wildfires: American Humane Society Provided Free Wellness Checks for Pets  

On Saturday, January 18, 2025, American Humane Society brought loving care to 35 pets affected by the devastating Los Angeles wildfires. The Wellness Clinic was hosted at Rover Kennels Culver City, a Yourgi Pack member, with generous support from the Destination Pet Foundation. 

The clinic’s mission was simple but profound: to ensure the well-being of pets impacted by the wildfires. Licensed veterinarians through Destination Pet, Ethos Veterinary Health, and National Veterinary Associates provided essential wellness checks and administered free vaccinations and flea/tick/heartworm prevention to the animals who needed it, thanks to a generous donation of supplies from Zoetis. 

“The American Humane Society Wellness Clinic is an example of how our dedicated team cares for animals in times of crisis,” said Dr. Robin Ganzert, President and CEO of American Humane Society. “As an organization with staff and beloved animals in California, we are passionate about rescuing, caring for and protecting pets in our community and we are so grateful to the Destination Pet Foundation and Rover Kennels for their support.” 

We are glad to work alongside American Humane Society and help serve the Los Angeles community that has been deeply affected by these devastating wildfires.

A Community United in Care 

This Pet Wellness Clinic wasn’t just about medical care; it was about community and comfort. As first responders continue to work tirelessly to support people and pets displaced by the wildfires, initiatives like this clinic provide a beacon of hope. Attendees left with not only healthier pets but also with replenished pet essentials like water bowls and leashes. Additionally, Brutus Bone Broth and The Honest Kitchen donated food and treats for pets visiting the clinic.  

We are so grateful and so excited to be here with American Humane Society, they gave us everything we could possibly need.

We extend heartfelt gratitude to the talented veterinarians and veterinary staff who provided these animals with compassionate care. This Pet Wellness Clinic was made possible through the unwavering support of dedicated supporters, including the Destination Pet Foundation, Zoetis, Ethos Veterinary Health, National Veterinary Associates, Brutus Bone Broth, The Honest Kitchen, and Rover Kennels Culver City, a Yourgi Pack member. We all came together in a moment of crisis to bring hope and healing to those in need. 

“The Destination Pet team is passionate about animal welfare, and providing quality care, especially for those in need,” said Julia Rodriguez, District Director at Destination Pet.  

This day of service shows the incredible impact we can have when we come together to care for the animals who share our lives and hearts. 

American Humane Society has created an Emergency Relief Fund for Animals to take immediate action to support animals in urgent need. Donations will help provide life-saving care, transportation to safe havens and essential resources like food, water and essential supplies.
