Posted on 04/23/2026

National Adopt a Shelter Pet Adoption Weekend

April 30th is National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day! To celebrate, LA Animal Services will offer reduced adoption fees this Saturday, April 25 and Sunday, April 26 for dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens at all six LA Animal Services Centers. Stop by to meet your new best friend!

Reduced adoption fees for dogs, $51 (that does not include $20 license fee for LA City residents); puppies, $75, cats, $12.50; and kittens, $25.

Furry friends adopted from LA Animal Services join their new families already spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Adopters also receive a Petco flyer with discounts to help make their pet adoption a success and a VCA Healthy Start Certificate, which provides up to $250 of follow up veterinary care within the first 14 days of adoption. In addition, dogs are also eligible for free dog training classes with Paws for Life K9 Rescue at their People & Pet Innovation Center in Mission Hills, CA. Contact [email protected] for more details.

If you can't adopt, consider fostering a pet. When you foster a canine buddy or feline friend, you not just save the life of that animal, but also free up a space for another dog or cat in need. Click on the links to view canine buddies and feline friends available for adoption or fostering.
