Celebrate Adopt a Shelter Dog Month with LA Animal Services’ Big Dog Promotion
Our “Big Dogs” will have discounted adoption fees of $25 (not including license)
from October 8 to October 18.
Los Angeles, October 8, 2020 — October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, and a good time to bring home an animal companion from LA Animal Services. To encourage pet adoption, LA Animal Services will offer a discounted adoption fee of $25 (not including license) for our larger breed dogs during our Big Dog Adoption Event, which will be from October 8 to October 18.
“We have a lot of amazing dogs in our Centers who would make great workout partners, couch potato buddies, and who can bring a lot of love into your home.” said Brenda Barnette, General Manager for LA Animal Services. “Don’t rule out a larger breed dog when looking to adopt a four-legged friend to be a part of your family.”
In celebration of Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, we’re encouraging those who adopt from us during this month to share their stories! New “Big Dog” adopters from LA Animal Services are encouraged to share a photo of their new best friend on social media using the hashtags #AdoptaShelterDogMonth #LAcitypets #LAanimalservices and tagging us! We’re also always looking for stories to share and be featured on our social media accounts, so we encourage you to submit your story and photos to us by clicking here.
