MVCC approved a $500 motion to donate to our Holiday Food Drive. Chair Drew and Community Director Honda went shopping and loaded up the car. Thank you to Mavro Coffee who supported our efforts by being a drop off location, and to Nourish LA for being the distributor to the community. And thanks to our Mar Vista Community for participating and helping during the holidays.
With Community Council elections fast approaching our focus at the Farmers Market in January was to inform Mar Vista about the upcoming events and we used the table for recruiting possible candidates, and to let stakeholders know they need to apply for a mail in ballot. It was also a beautiful day and it was great to be out. At-Large Director Greg Kopelow and Zone 3 Director Andrew Marton stopped in and engaged with the community.
Mar Vista Community Council had a table at the Mar Vista Farmers Market this weekend. We had information and applications at the table for stakeholders who are interested in candidacy.The Farmers Market even advertised on their easels.
If you're thinking of adding a pet, now is the time!
November Reduced Adoption Fee Weekends
LA Animal Services will offer reduced adoption fees for the weekends in November to help the pets in our six Centers to find loving homes. Like many shelters across the country, the Department is facing high intake numbers of cats and dogs, with medium- and large-sized dogs making up the majority of the pet population. To encourage animal lovers to adopt, LA Animal Services invites you to meet your new canine buddy or feline friend at one of our special adoption weekend events happening in November.
Reduced Adoption Fees:
Nov. 16-17; Stray Paws Adoption Event
Nov. 23–24: Bring Home a Furry Friend
Nov 30-Dec.1: It’s a Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend
Reduced adoption fees for dogs, $51 (that does not include $20 license fee for LA City residents); puppies, $75, cats, $12.50; and kittens, $25.
Furry friends adopted from LA Animal Services join their new families already spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Adopters also receive a Petco flyer with discounts to help make their pet adoption a success and a VCA Healthy Start Certificate, which provides up to $250 of follow up veterinary care within the first 14 days of adoption, and for a limited time a free dog or cat bed thanks to a donation from Chewy and Greater Good Charities. In addition, dogs are also eligible for free dog training classes with Paws for Life K9 Rescue at their People & Pet Innovation Center in Mission Hills, CA. Contact info@pawsforlifecanine.org for more details.
If you can't adopt, consider fostering a pet. When you foster a canine buddy or feline friend, you not just save the life of that animal, but also free up a space for another dog or cat in need. Click on the links to view canine buddies and feline friends available for adoption or fostering.
