In an effort to reduce overcrowding and find permanent homes for hundreds of animals, Los Angeles Animal Services is waiving adoption fees for dogs and cats this weekend, June 8–9. The initiative comes amid growing concern over shelter capacity issues across the city.
Key Points:
- Adoption fees waived on June 8–9 (Saturday & Sunday)
- Applies to all six LA city animal shelters
- Initiative aims to relieve overcrowding
- Over 1,400 animals currently in the shelter system
- Spaying/neutering, microchipping, and vaccinations included
🐶 Why the Waiver?
Shelters across Los Angeles are reaching capacity, with more than 1,400 animals in need of homes. To encourage more adoptions, city shelters will waive fees for cats, dogs, puppies, and kittens. The hope is to connect loving families with pets while alleviating pressure on the already crowded facilities.
Each adopted animal will come spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, ensuring they’re ready to go to their new homes immediately.
🏠 Shelter Locations and Participation
All six city-operated shelters are participating:
- East Valley
- West Valley
- North Central
