#lafires #DAT #PacificPalisadesFire 🔥 HERO of the day AWARD: Tamarah Valdivia 🏆🐎❤️ Rescued an amazing 8 trailer loads of horses in 21 hours!! From her Mom Vera V-Abdallah, the founder and director of Love This Horse Equine Rescue Inc. in Mojave, California: My hero for today is my 18-year old daughter Tamarah! Together, over the past 21 hours (with one hour of sleep in between) we pulled out a total of eight trailer loads of horses in the #AltadenaFire affected area (#EatonFire). Tamarah can load any horse and we loaded horses! From minis, to hunter jumper ponies (man, were they cute!), to difficult huge TB horses that hadn’t been in a trailer for 15 years, to partially blind big old warmblood horses (that used to earn their owner $60,000/year in prize money), to expensive race horses, to good ol’ quarter horses… Tamarah loaded them all alongside me. We made a good team, plus I felt confident that we could get all horses into our trailer and evacuated to safety because of Tamarah’s incredible loading and horse handling skills. We are home now, Tamarah is already asleep, the smoke really affected her, breathing bad air like we did is not fun. We are grateful that we were able to help evacuate eight trailer loads of horses. Some of our loads were as large as six horses at a time, the smallest load was two big horses that were rocking our trailer in protest. lovethishorsearabianrescue.org Amazing work by this very talented young horse trainer!! What a family!! Can't thank them enough!!

Devastation all around, but these 9 chickens and pea hens in Altadena are thankfully okay. During day 3 for our Emergency Response Team at the #EatonFire, they are getting calls for welfare checks on animals left behind during evacs. We are so glad these birds were unharmed.

The BEST news! Fire victim Casey Colvin, whose home burned down in the Palisades Fire, just found and reunited with his dog, Oreo, who spent 5 nights surviving amidst the rubble ❤️ @NBCNews

California, Los Angeles, Malibu, Topanga, Calabasas, everywhere in the area: there are many thousands of displaced animals from birds to rabbits to coyotes, mountain lions, and stray cats and dogs. Please put out a bowl or bucket of fresh water anywhere for them. Thank you. RT
