Camp Fire Animal Relief Fund

This is a general aid animal relief fund that will go directly to the animal shelters and local animal rescues (wild and domestic, large and small) of Paradise, California, and surrounding areas that have been impacted by the Camp Fire as they search for, rescue, treat medically, and shelter the animals who have been evacuated, injured, and/or left behind during these horrific fires.

Who I am and why you should donate to this fundraiser: 
My name is Ashley Rachel Carlson, and I am an author and avid animal lover in Phoenix, Arizona. An owner of four pets and a regular animal foster parent and volunteer through Arizona Animal Welfare League, I am very familiar with shelter efforts and how devastating it can be for these animals, wild and domesticated, to be displaced and injured by natural disasters such as the Camp Fire. Please feel free to contact me with suggestions on how to better serve the Paradise, California animal community so that we can provide relief and recovery together!
I started this campaign on 11/10/18 because I desperately wanted to begin assembling relief for the innocent animals affected by the Camp Fire. Please consider donating today--every single cent from now until the goal is surpassed (hopefully!) will go toward animal relief and aid in the coming weeks and months as Paradise, CA and surrounding areas rehabilitate and recover.
