Let’s Paws for a Great Pet Adoption Weekend – NBC Los Angeles

Imagine all the places you and your pet go to cuddle, sleep, romp and relax? It’s easy to do, especially if you dream of a dog or create a world in your heart and mind where a cat is by your side.

The next step to take is to find a local shelter or rescue group that offers pet adoptions, and schedule a meeting or see if they have adoption fairs scheduled.

And the upcoming schedule, for many local animal groups, is all about Saturday May 21 and Sunday May 22.

It’s National Adoption Weekend, and LA Animal Care & Control, along with several other organizations, will be waiving fees or offering a discount to humans looking for a loving, furry, scratching, scratching, and ready to snuggle up.

Adoption fees for large dogs — those dogs that weigh 40 pounds or more — will be waived May 20-22 at Pasadena Humane.
