As a result of the devastating Airport Fire, which has burned nearly 23,500 acres of habitat in the Santa Ana Mountains, Mission Viejo Animal Services is alerting the public of what to do when encountering wildlife injured or displaced by the blaze. Large fires often cause animals to flee into urban areas and many may be injured, disoriented, or lost. In the Santa Ana Mountains, wildlife affected by the fire may include birds such as small birds, hawks and owls, and mammals like raccoons, opossums, foxes, bobcats, and even mountain lions.

Patty Cakes and Lil Miss Muffet are an adorable and sweet bonded pair of sisters. They were found running loose in the middle of a soccer game in the Inland Empire, and Mission Viejo Animal Services staffers were able to take them through the “Mission for a Home” rescue program.
Captain is a 3-year-old male Siberian husky that is a perfect example of the breed.
Handsome, confident and freethinking, Captain is the perfect partner for a husky-lover seeking to add to the pack. Siberian huskies don't typically wait in eager anticipation for their owners' next command. They are free spirits and adventurists. Huskies can be jokesters, explorers and always a best friend. They enjoy chasing toys in the yard and being curled up by their people. They have a taste for mischief and mayhem and are not always easy to train but are still amazing dogs.
