> ANIMAL WATCH--As firefighters continue battling largest fire in the City of Los Angeles history, hundreds of horses, dogs, cats, goats, chickens and more have been evacuated and are filling our already filled to the brim City shelters and being temporarily housed at evacuation sites such as Hanson Dam and Pierce College.

 ![](https://www.citywatchla.com/images/stories/Sept-2017/071b.png)Los Angeles Animal Services staff has been working around the clock monitoring and dispatching help. Amazing volunteers and friends from partner agencies such as Best Friends and DART (Long Beach) are also assisting. Coopers Hardware, Foothill Feed, Lowes and others have already stepped up and donated supplies for the horses and livestock.

YOU can help by adopting or providing temporary foster care for LA City shelter pets to make room for those temporarily displaced by this devastating fire. **We need you NOW**! The Los Angeles City shelters are open **Tuesday-Saturday: 8am-5pm and Sunday: 11am-5pm.**

 The City of Los Angeles operates six Animal Services Centers:

- **East Valley Shelter**: 14409 Vanowen St, Van Nuys CA 91405
- **Harbor Shelter**: 957 N. Gaffey Street, San Pedro, CA 90731
- **North Central**: 3201 Lacy Street, Los Angeles, CA 90031
- **South Los Angeles, Chesterfield Square**: 1850 W. 60th St. Los Angeles, CA 90047
- **West Los Angeles**: 11361 West Pico Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90064
- **West Valley Shelter**: 20655 Plummer Street, Chatsworth, CA 91311
