Milestone reached in Eaton Fire recovery as last dog displaced finds forever home
Nearly a year and a half after the deadly Eaton Fire swept through Altadena and the San Gabriel Mountains, a new milestone in the aftermath and recovery has been met.Pasadena Humane took to Instagram on Wednesday, revealing that the final dog who was displaced by the fires – a German shepherd named Artemis – has found his forever home this week.“Today, we’re celebrating something truly meaningful: every animal who came into our care during the Eaton Fire is now home,” the shelter’s post began.The dog’s original family lost their home in the January 2025 blaze, and was brought to Pasadena Humane for an emergency boarding.The shelter added that Artemis’ original family, “made the difficult decision to surrender him in early 2026 due to the long-term effects of the fire,” as the shelter started searching for a new home.California's top news, sports and entertainment delivered to your inbox every day.
