Pets displaced by California fires find a 'little bit of home' at strip mall

Shasta Gateway mall outside Redding, California, is hosting about 463 animals and an army of 400 volunteers

At first glance, the Shasta Gateway mall outside Redding, California looks like any other American strip mall: a cracked, sun-beaten parking lot; a pizza place; a cell phone store. Except every time a door opens, the sound of yips and yelps leaks out.

Thousands of people have been evacuated from their homes as the Carr fire has swept across the far north of California, resulting in at least six deaths. While humans had designated places to go during the evacuation, many of their animals did not; several shelters did not accept pets.
