LA Animal Services and Pet Care Foundation to Host Basic Black Adoption Event 
Los Angeles, July 16, 2021 – The Paula Kent Meehan Pet Care Foundation will sponsor the Basic Black adoption event from Saturday, July 17 through Sunday, July 18. Find your new furry friend by visiting laanimalservices.com and view our available cats, kittens, and dogs. During the Basic Black adoption event, the adoption fees for dogs with primarily black fur will be reduced by $50. Adoption fees for cats will be waived by the Paula Kent Meehan Pet Care Foundation, and adoption fees for kittens will be waived through a generous grant from the ASPCA.

“Summer is a busy time for shelters, so we encourage people looking to add a new pet to their family to take advantage of this summer promotion,” said Bill Crowe, Executive Director of Pet Care Foundation.

“We are grateful for the support The Paula Kent Meehan Pet Care Foundation provides to the pets in our care in helping them find permanent homes with these adoption events, their TV show, and their grooming services,” said Dana Brown, Interim General Manager for LA Animal Services.
