To the Editor:

A Big 4 Paw Salute and Thanks to the Fillmore Community!!
We, at C.A.R.L.’s Pet Care Center in Santa Paula, want to thank the community of Fillmore!
Last week, the Mountain Fire caused us to evacuate our entire group of Rescue animals, off of Mission Rock Rd. in Santa Paula. Putting our Evacuation plan in to action and sending out S.O.S. on Facebook, we were surrounded by amazing group of wonderful people. Quickly we had a location for evacuation. Trucks, Trucks with horse trailers, an R.V. and private cars as well loaded with animals and headed for Fillmore.

Once we were at the evacuation site, Faith Community Church welcomed us and local Fillmorians, continued to shower us with love and care. Blankets, water, ice, treats, donations and wishes to help were in abundance! The staff was also treated with drinks, pizza, coffee runs, and a freshly prepared homemade breakfast and sweets.

It was wonderful to see the spirit of your community, wrap their arms around us in such a trying time. We are back now at our facility, safe a sound. Our volunteers were, beyond words, the most dedicated and courageous people we know!

Please know we couldn’t have been successful without each and everyone of you. Stop by so that we may Thank you in person. We are located on: 901 Mission Rock Rd., Santa Paula.

Look forward to seeing you again,
Sincerely,
C.A.R.L.’S Pet Care Center Staff
