LA Animal Services and The Pet Care Foundation to Host Singles and Seniors Adoption Event
Los Angeles, October 16, 2020 – It’s a great time to adopt a pet as The Paula Kent Meehan Pet Care Foundation will sponsor the Singles and Seniors adoption event from Saturday, October 17 through Sunday, October 18. Find your new furry friend by going online at laanimalservices.com to view all of our cats, kittens, and dogs. During Singles and Seniors, adoption fees will be reduced for dogs by $50. 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. Pets that are eligible will have to be the only pet in the household and/or be 5-years-old or older.
“This adoption event provides an opportunity to showcase older pets and dogs and cats who would prefer to be the only four-legged friend in the house,” said Bill Crowe, Executive Director for The Paula Kent Meehan Pet Care Foundation. “Adopt a new furry friend this weekend and save a life.”
“We have many amazing and loving pets who are ready to become a part of your family,” said Brenda Barnette, General Manager of LA Animal Services. “We thank The Paula Kent Meehan Pet Care Foundation for their continued support to sponsor these wonderful adoption events.”
