LOS ANGELES, CA January 14, 2025 – In response to the devastating wildfires currently sweeping across Southern California, LA Animal Services and Los Angeles County Animal Care and Control are joining forces and urgently appealing to the everyday heroes in the community to help provide temporary homes for pets, adopt animals in need and assist in reuniting lost pets with their families.
As fires ravage local communities, many pets have been displaced from their homes or may have gone missing, leaving them in need of immediate care and shelter. The teams at LA Animal Services and Los Angeles County Animal Care are responsible for addressing the needs of pets in the Los Angeles community and are urging those not impacted by the fires to help, as they continue to support emergency sheltering needs. In an effort to support both the animals and their families during this crisis, the City and County of Los Angeles animal are offering fee-waived adoptions for dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens through the month of January and are urging the public to foster animals in need.
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 5, 2024 – Across the country, pets—particularly large dogs—are taking up to twice as long to find adoptive homes compared to pre-pandemic times. To encourage the community to adopt or foster, LA Animal Services will be partnering with the Los Angeles Chargers for the Petpalooza adoption event happening on Saturday, December 7 from 9am to 4pm at the Chesterfield Square/South LA shelter. Adoption fees will be waived for dogs and cats (adopted at the event and at any of our six City shelters December 7 and 8) thanks to a generous grant from Petco Love.
