LA Animal Services Announces
Home for the Holidays Adoption Campaign!

Silent Santa to pay all Fees for 300 Pet Adoptions!

Los Angeles – YES, VIRGINIA, THERE IS A SANTA “PAWS”. A benefactor, wishing to remain anonymous, pledged to pay all adoption fees for 300 pets adopted between now and Christmas at any LA Animal Services Center. Santa stated, “I hope this offer will help empty the kennels and cages and gives these pets a real home for Christmas.” Santa had one request of those adopting a pet; that they write a letter to LA Animal Services explaining how adopting the pet changed their lives.

“We are awed by this compassionate and generous gift that will bring so much joy to so many families”, said Ed Boks, general manager of LA Animal Services. “We are immensely grateful to our Silent Santa for exemplifying the true spirit of the season by giving so deeply to help those who need it the most – our homeless pets. Happiness is an empty animal shelter on Christmas morning.”

The offer could not have come at a more perfect time. LA Animal Services has experienced a 20% increase in the number of owners surrendering their pets due to the foreclosure crisis. Santa has reversed the fortune of these newly homeless animals.

In light of this amazing offer, both the East and
West Valley Animal Care Centers will be open today, Monday, December 22, from noon to 5 P.M. (All Centers are normally closed on Monday.) All six LA Animal Care Centers will be open from 8 A.M. to 7 P.M. Tuesday and from 8 A.M. to 5 P.M. Wednesday, Christmas Eve.

“We urge all those who hear about this exceedingly generous offer to paws to seriously contemplate the long term commitment needed to adopt a pet,” Boks added. “Decisions should not be made lightly and LA Animal Services reserves the right to refuse an adoption when we believe the welfare of the animal is not improved by the adoption. This offer is for individuals and families ready to make a 10-15 year financial and emotional commitment to a pet.”

Pet adoptions include the spay/neuter surgery, microchip, vaccinations and in the case of a dog a license. You can find your true love at any one of the following locations:

I was at the East Valley Location yesterday and fell in love with a Dalmatian.

If I only had a bigger place I would have for sure taken him home.

I find it extremely hard to go to those places, make me really emotional. I want to take them all home.

Know what you mean. Just one glance with those big brown eyes and ya wanna take them home.

I hope with all my heart that all that adopt these animal can afford the care for the rest of the furbies life. As a board member of a rescue group we alway ask on our contract if a person can afford Vet bills as high as $500.00. If we read some of the threads in Pets and Animals you can see some of the stories that tell of the very high cost of medical problems. BUT with that said even a limited time with a family that loves them it is better than the Mondays at the L.A. Shelters. When they are over crowded what do you imagine they do on the day they are closed to the public.
Blessings to the Secret Santa you made me cry happy tears.
