Oreo’s journey shows how one story can lead to real change, helping protect pets and their people when it matters most. ❤️ 🔥🐾 Pets are family and now the law better reflects that. #WildfireAnniversary #WildfireRecovery #OreoTheDog #FOUNDAct #CARES #PetSafety #PetReunification

Today marks the one-year anniversary of the #LA_Wildfires . #CARES is commemorating #animal_rescue groups that helped transport animals out of LA #animal_shelters to find temporary or permanent loving homes. This herculean effort made room for rescued animals. @CDFAnews @Cal_OES
