Los Angeles, February 17, 2023 – In honor of Monday, February 20th being National Love Your Pet Day, LA Animal Services invites you to visit any of our six Centers this weekend and add a new furry friend to your family! To encourage pet adoptions, LA Animal Services will be offering reduced adoption fees during the Love Your Pet Adoption Extravaganza event happening Saturday, February 18 and Sunday, February 19. 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.



“Visit any of our six Centers this weekend for the Love Your Pet Adoption Extravaganza,” said Annette Ramirez, Interim General Manager for LA Animal Services. “We’d love everyone to be able to celebrate National Love Your Pet Day with a new furry best friend, and with our Centers at capacity with plenty of amazing animal companions, this weekend is a great time to bring home a new furry family member!”

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.
