Los Angeles, July 21, 2023 – Get ready for the Summer Lovin’ Adoption Weekend at all six LA Animal Services Centers where your new furry friend awaits! Reduced adoption fees will be offered on Saturday, July 22 and Sunday, July 23 for dogs ($51), puppies ($75), cats ($12.50), and kittens ($25).

“With children out of school and parents taking some time off, summertime is a great time to bring home a pet,” said Staycee Dains, General Manager for LA Animal Services. “Getting the kids involved in selecting, training, feeding, and playing with the new family dog or cat is a great way for a family to bond.”

Adopt a Pet Today

Dogs and cats adopted from LA Animal Services join their new families already spayed or neutered, vaccinated, licensed, and microchipped. Adopters also will receive a Petco flyer with discounts to help make their pet adoption a success; and 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.

Can’t Adopt - You Can Still Get Involved

• Home-to-Home is a resource to help pet owners find a new home for their furry friend without taking them to a shelter.
• Donate and make a difference to help the pets in LA.
• Be a part of our Share Squad and get the word out to help LA animals find homes and create more awareness on how to keep animals safe and healthy.
• Share posts of pets available for adoption on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Nextdoor.
• Volunteer and make a difference in the lives of animals in our care.

Options to Surrendering a Pet

Please reconsider surrendering your pet to a shelter as our six Animal Services Centers continue to operate at critical capacity. LA Animal Services offers alternative solutions to help keep pets and families together, that include Safety Net Foster, Home to Home, Pet Food Pantry, and helpful resource guides. We also work closely with intervention groups who will provide assistance with pet retention. If relinquishing your pet is the only option, appointments are required by calling 888-452-7381. Sick or injured animals will be admitted without an appointment.

With six Centers across the City, LA Animal Services serves approximately 60,000 animals annually and responds to 20,000 emergency calls involving animals or people in danger. LA Animal Services is part of the Human Animal Support Services (HASS) international coalition, which connects municipal shelters and animal welfare organizations across the country to reimagine and transform the way shelters care for animals and their families, by offering access to resources to help keep families together; getting lost pets home quickly without having to enter the shelter system; providing food and medical assistance; and continuing to build on a strong adoption and foster program so pets find their permanent homes or are placed in foster care.
