They are our best friends, loyal companions, home protectors, and the greatest allies we could ask for. Dogs are undoubtedly one of the best things in life for those of us who love animals, so what better way to celebrate them than with a special day like National Puppy Day?
The celebration was created in 2006 to encourage the adoption of homeless pups and discourage breeding and sales. This weekend, several organizations across the city will be hosting adoption events in honor of the occasion, many of them offering reduced adoption fees to help these furry friends find their fur-ever homes.
Puppy Palooza
The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Los Angeles (spcaLA) will host its biannual event, Puppy Palooza, where 25 puppies will be available for adoption. Adoption fees are waived, so this is the perfect chance to find your new furry friend! You can sign up in advance here.
📆 When: Friday, March 21, 11AM
📍 Location: 5026 W Jefferson Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90016
