The nation’s largest no-kill animal shelter, Utah-based Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, holds a Memorial Day Family Picnic Festival at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center, featuring children’s play tables, face-painting, game booths and vegetarian barbecue. Animals are the stars for the day, though, from the leaping canines of West Valley Dog Sports, who’ll give Fly Ball and dog agility demonstrations, to adoptable dogs and cats. Proceeds benefit Best Friends’ No More Homeless Pets campaign. (A pricier benefit for the group happens Monday: the “$35,000 Pedigree Brand Memorial Day Grandprix” equestrian event.)
