Mathias Colomb resident staying behind to help pets amid wildfire evacuations
“So for the seven days within the fire evacuation – three days prior was very hectic when it came to evacuating all the community members. It wasn’t up until day four when everybody started wondering if their pets are going to be okay because they didn’t know how long they were going to be out there,” Castel told Global News.
Castel says he has three dogs of his own, but with no kennel he wouldn’t have been able to take them with him during the evacuations. He stayed behind along with a few family members, driving throughout the community to check on and feed pets that were left behind. It’s more than just dogs they’re helping.“So far I’ve got nine cats, three birds, six Guinea pigs, and one turtle named Shredder,” he said.
“Every night I got to hear those dogs barking and crying all night. So it’s very restless for me to try and stay up and get every dog fed within this community.”
