Nearly 400 pets find homes in Southern California super adoption event
Hundreds of cats and dogs found new homes in a super adoption event held at the Rose Bowl Stadium over the Nov. 2-3 weekend.
The Los Angeles-based Best Friends Animal Society, now in its 25th year, brought together 16 animal shelter and rescue groups to help nearly 400 pets get adopted.
“Every week, up to 200 dogs and cats unnecessarily die in LA’s city shelters,” the nonprofit wrote in a release.
Organizers said the hope for this event was to help ease the strain on animal shelters and rescue groups and allow more animals to find positive outcomes.
And now, hundreds of those animals have been helped to find their positive outcomes.
“To help even more pets find loving homes, after the event’s conclusion, Best Friends pulled a total of 21 dogs from Los Angeles County Animal Care and Riverside County Department of Animal Services,” added the nonprofit.
Organizers said these recently pulled pets are now looking for loving foster or adoptive homes, and are currently at the Best Friends Pet Adoption Center in West Los Angeles.
