VCA Animal Hospitals has announced that hospitals located near the northeastern Los Angeles areas of La Crescenta, Glendale, La Canada Flintridge and Altadena are offering free boarding for companion animals whose families are being evacuated or displaced from their homes as a result of the current rainstorms and the extensive flooding.
“For the more than 1,200 residents facing mandatory evacuations or potential loss of their homes, VCA is committed to help by providing free boarding for their pets so they can focus their efforts on managing personal and family issues,” said Art Antin, Chief Operating Officer of VCA Animal Hospitals. “VCA wants everyone affected to know that during this difficult time, they have this free boarding option to keep their pets safe.”
VCA Animal Hospitals located in Los Angeles near the affected communities can provide a safe and secure environment for pets at this time on a space available basis for as long as the mandatory evacuations and flooding persists. Boarding assistance for pets is based on space availability at participating hospitals and owners can call their local VCA in advance to ensure that the facility has space available to accept additional pets.
