Adopt a Pet This Weekend
During Our Fall in Love Adoption Event
Los Angeles, October 22, 2021 – LA Animal Services invites you to ‘Fall in Love’ this weekend and adopt a new furry friend! To encourage pet adoptions, LA Animal Services will be offering discounted adoption fees on Saturday, October 23 and Sunday, October 24 during our ‘Fall in Love’ adoption event. Adoption fees for dogs will be $51 (not including license) and $75 for puppies. The adoption fees for cats and kittens will be waived thanks to a generous grant from the ASPCA. 

Throughout the month of October, LA Animal Services is also joining Subaru and its retailers to celebrate the Subaru Loves Pets initiative geared towards helping senior dogs and dogs with disabilities get adopted. These dogs, lovingly referred to as “Underdogs”, are harder to place and need a little extra effort to find loving homes. To further show their support of the initiative, Subaru Sherman Oaks will donate $100* for every pet adopted from LA Animal Services, now through October 31.  

Share on Social
If you have adopted from LA Animal Services, we invite to snap a photo of your pet and share it with us on social media using the hashtags: #SubaruLovesPets #LAAnimalServices #LACityPets -- be sure to tag us @laanimalservices! We’d also love to hear from you, how adopting your furry friend has changed your life! Submit your photos and stories so we can share your pet’s happy tails!

Center Operating Hours
Our six LA Animal Services locations are operating without appointments every Saturday and Sunday, from 11am to 5pm. We will continue to operate by appointment during the week, Tuesday through Friday, for pet adoptions, fostering, and owner surrender, with Centers closed on Mondays. Sick or injured animals will be admitted without an appointment. Appointments may be scheduled by going online or by calling 1-888-452-7381.
