Help Dave Racs aka "Double D" Rebuild After Eaton Fire

One of my long-time friends from my hometown of Altadena, Dave Racs, aka "Double D," who is a fellow dog trainer and animal rescuer, has lost everything from the Eaton Fire in Altadena, CA, on 1/8/25.

Dave was born and raised in Altadena and has suffered a tremendous loss. He has now also lost his stream of income as most of his clients' homes are also burned as the majority of Altadena has burned to the ground.

Dave was barely able to evacuate in time but thankfully, he was able to save his two dogs, cat, and parrot. Sadly, he wasn't able to get any of his racing pigeons out in time, and they all perished, so he is devastated beyond belief. Dave is an avid local supporter of all animals–with the moniker DaveTheAnimalGuy on YouTube, and he is known in our community for his massive heart for helping his community with animals in need no matter what species they are.

Please help to support one of Altadena's nearest and dearest during this time while he tries to rebuild his life and care for his pets.
