Los Angeles, June 16, 2023 – Father’s Day is Sunday, June 18, and to encourage pet adoptions and celebrate all the paw-thers, LA Animal Services will be offering reduced adoption fees this weekend: Saturday, June 17 and Sunday, June 18. Adoption fees for dogs will be $51 (not including $20 license) and $75 for puppies. Adoption fees for cats will be $12.50 and $25 for kittens.

“Our Centers are at capacity, mainly with larger and medium-sized dogs,” said Annette Ramirez, Interim General Manager for LA Animal Services. “Please consider adopting or fostering as we have plenty of wonderful pets ready to meet you and be a part of your family.” 

Dogs and cats adopted from LA Animal Services join their new families already spayed or neutered, vaccinated, licensed, and microchipped, and adopters receive a VCA Healthy Start Certificate, which provides up to $250 of follow up veterinary care within the first 14 days of adoption. 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. Contact Info@pawsforlifek9.org for more details.
