LA Animal Services is one of thousands of shelters across the country experiencing an increase in intake of medium to large size dogs. Because more pets are coming into our shelters than getting adopted or fostered each day, our six Centers are running out of available kennels for our canine companions.
We have created a visual to illustrate the current level of our shelter capacity level. Due to the continued increase of animals, primarily dogs, into our six shelters during the past several months, we are at the Orange/Extreme Level and so are pleading to animal-loving Angelenos to help us find homes for the pets in our shelters by fostering or adopting.
Our six Centers are full of adoptable pets so this weekend LA Animal Services will be offering reduced adoption fees on Saturday, June 18 and Sunday, June 19, 2022 for dogs and puppies, while cat and kitten adoption fees will be waived thanks to a grant from the ASPCA. View pets available for adoption at laanimalservices.com/adopt.
Dogs and cats adopted from LA Animal Services join their new families already spayed or neutered, vaccinated, licensed, and microchipped. In addition, canine companions adopted from LA Animal Services are also eligible for free dog training classes at the Paws for Life K9 Rescue People & Pet Innovation Center in Mission Hills, CA.
