October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month!

October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month and we've got canine buddies (and feline friends) who are ready to be a part of your family!

There are currently more than 2,000 pets in our six LA Animal Services who are available for adoption. To encourage the community to adopt a pet, we're offering reduced adoption fees for dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens on Saturday, October 12 and Sunday, October 13. Please open your heart and home to an amazing dog or cat. Adoption fees for dogs are $51 (not including $20 license); puppies: $75; cats: $12.50; and kittens: $25.

If you can't adopt, consider fostering a pet. When you adopt or foster a dog or cat, you not just save the life of that animal, but you will also free up a space for another dog or cat in need.
