LA Animal Services and The Pet Care Foundation to Host Singles and Seniors Adoption Event
Los Angeles, October 15, 2021 – The Paula Kent Meehan Pet Care Foundation will sponsor the Singles and Seniors adoption event happening at our six LA Animal Services Centers on Saturday, October 16 and Sunday, October 17. During the Singles and Seniors adoption event, the adoption fees for 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. Pets who are eligible will have to be the only pet in the household and/or be 5-years-old or older. View the pets who are available for adoption by going to laanimalservices.com. 

“There are many great pets who are ready to meet you and who are available for adoption,” said Bill Crowe, Executive Director of The Pet Care Foundation. “This weekend is the perfect time to bring home a new furry family member while making life saving space in the shelters.” 

“We are grateful to The Paula Kent Meehan Pet Care Foundation for sponsoring the Senior and Singles adoption event, which provides an opportunity to showcase the older pets in our Centers who are often overlooked, or animal companions who would prefer to be the only pet in your home,” said Dana Brown, General Manager for LA Animal Services.
