LOS ANGELES, Dec. 5, 2024 – Across the country, pets—particularly large dogs—are taking up to twice as long to find adoptive homes compared to pre-pandemic times. To encourage the community to adopt or foster, LA Animal Services will be partnering with the Los Angeles Chargers for the Petpalooza adoption event happening on Saturday, December 7 from 9am to 4pm at the Chesterfield Square/South LA shelter. Adoption fees will be waived for dogs and cats (adopted at the event and at any of our six City shelters December 7 and 8) thanks to a generous grant from Petco Love. 

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 1, 2024 – LA Animal Services will offer waived or reduced adoption fees for the weekends in November to help the pets in our six Centers 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.
