There is so much devastation and destruction in California right now. Our beautiful state has been ravaged by several wildfires (Camp, Woolsey, and Hill), which burned hundreds of thousands of acres of land, homes, and other structures. And almost fifty people and countless animals have lost their lives. In fact, these are the worst wildfires California has ever seen.
The outpouring of support has been amazing, with people crossing state lines to volunteer, generous donations have been made, and firefighters have been risking life and limb to help victims and those affected by all of this turmoil.
So I have compiled a list of reputable charitable organizations that are saving animals lives in the wake of the fires, which are still burning.
