Looking for a new pet? This weekend might just be the perfect time. The Mars Global Adoption Weekend is back. It’s the 17th year for the event in the U.S. and its second year as a global push. Teaming up with actress Shailene Woodley, the event is bringing together shelters in more than 20 countries with one big mission: to help more animals find a home.
So what does this mean for Los Angeles? SpcaLA is teaming up with Mars to make adoption even easier. The event started on Friday October 3rd, continuing today through Sunday the 5th and adoption fees for all cats and dogs at spcaLA will be completely covered. Yes, fully covered thanks to Mars and its pet care brands.
And it’s not just the adoption fee. Every adopted pet will also go home with a pretty amazing welcome kit (we’re talking treats from IAMS™, PEDIGREE® and GREENIES™, vet coupons, a voucher for a WISDOM PANEL™ DNA kit, and even a Calm membership). The real story, though, is the animals themselves.
Whether you’re looking for a playful kitten or a seasoned companion, this weekend is all about giving some great pets a second chance. Check out some of our picks below, head to the spcaLA website to browse pets, or stop into an spcaLA shelter location near you.
