How It All Vegan Book Bash: We just bought our tickets to Saturday’s How It All Vegan Book Bash/Compassion Over Killing/Positive Television Benefit. $20 gets you an awesome evening, great vegan food and supports some fantastic organizations. Wednesday’s post gives you all the details. See you there?

Sunday, November 15th:

Best Friends Adoption Festival:Sunday is Best Friends’ semi-annual pet adoption festival at the LaBrea Tar Pits. I’ve worked a couple of these events volunteering for LAAS and it’s a great way to find a companion animal or just go to give some love to homeless pets. Rescue groups from all over Southern California are represented and will be bringing dogs, cats, bunnies, guineas, birds and reptiles. If you are visiting and want to help these homeless pets, you can bring unopened/unexpired cans of pet food for donations. Click here for all the information.

For even more events happening this weekend, check out the calendar.

Twice a year, Best Friends Animal Society hosts their Super Adoption events in various parks around the city. This weekend it is happening near LAX in Westchester Park. Every Super Adoption event that I’ve worked at has had hundreds of animals from all kinds of rescue organizations. So if you or someone you know is in the market for a new pet, this is a fantastic event to attend. Here are all the details:

I have never participated in the Pasadena Humane Society’s Wiggle Waggle Walk but I’ve heard it’s a great time. Unfortunately we’ve been cursed (blessed?) with two unruly mutts that aren’t exactly good in doggie social situations. I may stop by just to see the hundreds of dogs all walking around the Rose Bowl. Not only that, they have competitions for Pet/Owner Look-alike, Best Trick, and Ugliest Dog. If you can’t make it, there’s still time to donate.

Best Friends Fall Super Adoption is happening today. Over 65 rescue organizations bring out their dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, parrots and rabbits all available for adoption. I participated in the spring event and the turn out was amazing. Get there early to get your pick of the cutest pets.
