California Wildfires Emergency Relief
PetSmart Charities dispatched two of our Emergency Relief Waggin's on Oct. 23rd to help the animals impacted by the California wildfires. Each semi-trailer contains enough donated pet supplies to support up to 500 companion animals.
One Waggin' was received by the City of San Deigo at Qualcomm Stadium, a designated community evacuation location.
The other Waggin' was received by North County Humane Society & SPCA in Oceanside, CA where supplies were desperately needed.
As of Monday, Oct. 29, one Emergency Relief Waggin' will return to Phoenix to be re-stocked and prepared for future emergencies. The other Waggin' remains in case the need continues to transport supplies from local PetSmart stores to other areas still hosting evacuees.
