VCA Charities is supporting Los Angeles Animal Services – in partnership with VCA – to cover the cost of adoption (not including license) for up to 250 dogs between Monday, June 27 & Friday, July 8. Every dog available for adoption is spayed/neutered, vaccinated & microchipped – all they need is a new family!

👉 Every new adopter will also receive a VCA Healthy Start Certificate offering a free examination & up to $250 in veterinary care to cover any minor illnesses. 👈

Shelters in Los Angeles – & across the country – are FULL & need your help! If you've been thinking of adding to your family, this is a great time to adopt. If you're not ready for the commitment but can host a dog for a couple weeks, this is the best time to foster. If you can't take on a pet at this time, please spread the word... Los Angeles shelter pets need the spotlight right now. Foster or adoption will help ease the burden on the shelters, make room for new animals in need &, most importantly, provide a loving home to a deserving dog.

If you need help selecting a new best friend, volunteers or staff members at the shelters can assist. Visit laanimalservices.com for list of current adoptables.

Join us in supporting our community – and supporting the joy of pet ownership.
