LA Animal Services and The Pet Care Foundation to Host Whisker Wonderland Adoption Event |
|
Los Angeles, December 17, 2021 – The Paula Kent Meehan Pet Care Foundation will sponsor the Whisker Wonderland adoption event happening at our six LA Animal Services Centers on Saturday, December 18 and Sunday, December 19. During the Whisker Wonderland adoption event, the adoption fees for dogs will be reduced by $50, which does not include the $20 license fee. Adoption fees for cats will be waived by the Paula Kent Meehan Pet Care Foundation and adoption fees for kittens will be waived through a generous grant from the ASPCA. View the pets who are available for adoption by going to laanimalservices.com.
“Celebrate the holidays by opening your heart and home to a new furry family member who will bring you lots of joy and love this holiday season and the years to come,” said Dana Brown, General Manager for LA Animal Services.
“It is important to remember that while pets bring great joy for the holidays, they are a very personal gift and one that should be determined by the owner,” said Bill Crowe, Executive Director of The Pet Care Foundation. “A pet is a forever promise to love and care for its entire life, and best made by that pet’s person.”

Our six LA Animal Services locations are operating without appointments every Saturday and Sunday, from 11am to 5pm. We will continue to operate by appointment during the week, Tuesday through Friday, for pet adoptions, fostering, and owner surrender, with Centers closed on Mondays.
