Become a New Dad (or Mom) for Father’s Day
Starting today through Father’s Day, LA Animal Services is offering a special discount adoption special for both cats and dogs. You can visit any of the 6 local shelters where they have reduced the adoption price of cats to $50.50 and dogs to $78.50. The discounted adoption fees include spay/neutering, microchipping, and a license for your pet. Most vets will also give your new pet an initial checkup completely free if you tell them they are from LA Animal Services. You can click on the image to view the flyer for all the details.



I just read about the Drive For Life group on LiveJournal that coordinates transportation of pets from one location to fosters, rescues, shelters, adoptive homes, or anywhere else they need to go in another state. From what I can gather, they ask for people to take 30 to 90 minute stretches where they meet up with the next volunteer to transfer the pet. The process goes on and on until the animal eventually reaches their destination. Sort of like the 400 meter relay, but with a dog. It sounds like it’s a great way for anyone with some gas money, a car and a little effort to get involved in animal rescue. You can see all the transport requests on their LiveJournal page
Have you ever thought about adding another pet to your family but don’t want the 10-15 year commitment? spcaLA Foster Parents provide temporary care for animals that are either too young or infirm to be adopted right away, pets that are in protective custody, and animals who are in the Animal Safety Net (ASN) program which provides a safe haven for the pets of victims of domestic violence.
Over 300 animal shelters and humane societies will slash adoption fees in order to raise awareness of pet overpopulation. The parent company of the Science Diet brand pet food, Hill’s Pet Nutrition, is organizing the event and has committed to paying for the adoption fees for the first 10 animals at all 300 shelters. Doing the quick math, that’s nearly 3,000 animals that can find a home for free tomorrow! You can find out more information about the event at
