Paws in the City: Put down your phone, volunteer and feel the good vibes flow

The morning of the fires, Pasadena Humane volunteer Kamron Shahriaree woke up in the middle of an asthma attack from the smoke. He grabbed a bag of clothes, his dog, and headed straight out of LA. He had no idea how devastating the fires would become.

Soon after, Karmon was checking in with fellow volunteers in the Pet Food Pantry’s group chat. He immediately saw the huge need our community had for pet food and supplies during this unprecedented time.

“I couldn’t sit back,” Kamron shared with us. “As a seasoned volunteer, I felt a responsibility to return especially when the Pet Food Pantry needed me most.”

It’s that sense of responsibility to serve the people and pets of our community that led Kamron to volunteer with the Pet Food Pantry, every day, all day, through the end of February
