Escondido Humane Society needs help
Posted by Merrilee on November 13th, 2007, in Public Information, CFRT

Betty sends this from the Escondido Human Society:

We have ongoing needs for canned cat food, canned dog food,
rubber Kong toys to aid in stress reduction, towels, and
paper towels. Due to the high number of animals in our care,
and the number of residents in our area who have lost their
homes and need pet supplies to get them through, our supplies
are drained quickly. If you would like to make an in-kind
donation for the animals, all pet supplies are still
gratefully accepted. Photo taken on Thursday, October 25 of
one of the many animal evacuees in our care. Help the smallest
victims of the recent wildfires - the animals. Support the Fire
Fund at the Escondido Humane Soicety with a tax-deductible gift,
and help the animals most in need. Your gift will care for the
animal fire victims at our no-kill shelter and will support
the veterinary care, rehabilitation, sheltering, and re-homing
efforts for companion animals affected by the wildfires.

We are also in need of foster homes and supplies…see below for
ways that you can help create a brighter future for animals in
need during this especially challenging time. The Adoption
Center at the Escondido Humane Society was closed and converted
to an emergency center for animals abandoned or displaced by the
fires. These puppies were surrendered to our care by a family
who lost everything in the fire. Here’s what you can do today
to help the animals affected by the firestorm:

-Mail a donation to the Escondido Humane Society, 3450 East Valley
Parkway, Escondido, CA, 92027. Please designate “Fire Fund” on the
memo line or include a note letting us know that you’d like to help
the animals affected by the fires.

-Call our donation hotline at (760) 888-2240 and make a gift to the
Escondido Humane Society’s Fire Fund. This will have a direct,
immediate impact on the animals most in need. If we miss your call,
please leave a message so we may return it. As of Friday evening,
we remain on emergency operations, so nearly all available staff
are devoted to direct animal care. Your donations are especially
important right now.

============================================================

In-kind donations from our wish list are gratefully accepted
in-person at our Adoption Center from 10 am - 5 pm daily, or
by appointment by calling (760) 888-2240. Gifts to our nonprofit
center are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
