CAMP FIRE EVACUEES ASKED TO RESUME CARE OF ANIMALS
SHELTERING IN PLACE ONCE EVACUATION ORDERS LIFTED
BUTTE COUNTY, Calif. —Animal rescue field groups from Butte County Animal Control (BCAC) and
North Valley Animal Disaster Group (NVADG) have been providing feed and care to animals
sheltering in place within the fire affected areas. These areas are still under evacuation orders. Once
evacuation orders are lifted, owners returning to the area will be asked to resume care of their
animals.
A detailed feed and care schedule of animals sheltering in place will be provided to owners once they
are able to return home. If evacuees decide not to stay in their homes or intend to leave the area they
will need to take their animals with them. Evacuees are asked to make fostering or boarding
1
arrangements outside the existing Butte County animal disaster shelters. These temporary shelters
are only for animals during active evacuation orders.
Temporary fostering and boarding resources for Camp Fire animals may be found by searching the
www.campfirerescuedanimals.com resource page or by searching on Facebook. Many Facebook
groups have been established to connect people who need a temporary foster home for their animals
with people who are willing and able to serve as foster caregivers.
