The dog, a German Shepherd named Artemis, had originally been brought to the shelter for emergency boarding after his family lost their home in the fire, officials said. Although they had hoped to reunite with him, they ultimately surrendered the animal due to long-term impacts from the disaster.
“Today, we’re celebrating something truly meaningful: every animal who came into our care during the Eaton Fire is now home,” shelter officials said in a statement.
Some animals were returned to their original families, while others were adopted into new homes, reflecting what officials described as resilience and recovery in the aftermath of the fire.
Pasadena Humane cared for more than 1,500 pets and wildlife during and after the fire, providing shelter, medical treatment and emergency support, while also working to reunite animals with their owners.
