FOSTER VOLUNTEERS URGENTLY NEEDED TO EXPAND SHELTER WALLS: July 4th Fireworks Expected to Fill Shelters with scared/lost Pets

LA Animal Services is gearing up for our busiest time of the year and we need YOUR help to foster shelter pets. As we approach the July 4th Holiday and FIREWORKS, we can anticipate an influx of lost and frightened dogs and cats. We need your help to make space in our shelters for them by fostering a shelter animal for just four days (or more if you are so inclined).

The fireworks will be in full swing by Friday, July 1st and by Monday, July 4th LA City Animal Shelters will be filled to the brim with scared pets who couldn’t find their way home. They will be depending on us to help reunite them with their families.

Meanwhile, other great dogs and cats who have been with us for a while could be at risk if we run out of kennel space and all of our shelters are filled to capacity. We have dogs and cats of all ages and sizes just waiting for an opportunity to crash at your place for a few days to week around the July 4th holiday weekend. You will be a life-saver!

It’s easy to become a Foster Volunteer! Just go online to download your application at http://www.laanimalservices.com/volunteer/foster-program/ or go to the City animal shelter nearest you and ask for a Foster Volunteer application. Take your completed form to the shelter and we’ll get you fostering a pet right away.

Or, have you been thinking about adopting but aren’t sure? Fostering is a great test drive to see what it is like to have a four-legged addition to your home.

The shelters are open Tuesday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. We will be closed on the Fourth of July. To find the shelter closest to you, visit: http://www.laanimalservices.com/shelters/ or call (888) 452-7381. Our heartfelt thanks will be nothing compared to the purrs and kisses you will get from your foster pet.

Please help us spread the word! Share, post and print our flyer with your friends, neighbors, co-workers, and members of your community.
