LA Animal Services and The Pet Care Foundation to Host Sheps, Pits, and Kits Adoption Event |
|
Los Angeles, September 16, 2021 –The Paula Kent Meehan Pet Care Foundation will sponsor the Sheps, Pits, and Kits adoption event happening at our six LA Animal Services Centers on Saturday, September 18 and Sunday, September 19. During the Sheps, Pits, and Kits adoption event, the adoption fees for all shepherd and pitty-resembling dogs will be reduced by $50, which does not include the $20 license fee. 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. View the pets who are available for adoption by going to laanimalservices.com.
“There are hundreds of wonderful pets in the shelters ready to meet you,” said Bill Crowe, Executive Director of The Pet Care Foundation. “This weekend’s adoption event provides people with the opportunity to adopt shepherd-type dogs, pit bull terriers, cats, and kittens, who are just waiting to be a part of your family.”
“When you adopt a pet from our Centers, you’re opening your heart and home to a wonderful animal companion who’s licensed, spayed or neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated,” said Dana Brown, General Manager of LA Animal Services. “You’re also making life saving space for sick or injured animals who make their way into our Centers and have nowhere else to go.”
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.
To follow COVID-19 safety protocols, social distancing will be observed and face coverings will be required when in our Centers.
