95 pets adopted during weekend-long spcaLA adoption event

GLENDALE, Calif. (KABC) -- August 26 is National Dog Day, and Eyewitness News celebrated a little early with our bi-annual Puppy Palooza adoption event.

Last Friday we featured adoptable puppies from spcaLA and all 22 were adopted.

Thanks to our sponsors, Howard's Appliances and Adventist Health Glendale, all pet adoption fees were waived at all three spcaLA locations over the weekend.

We are pleased to report that during the three-day event, 95 pets found homes!

Check out our 2024 Puppy Palooza-themed t-shirt and help support the spcaLA.

The spcaLA still has over 150 adorable, adoptable kittens, cats, dogs, and other animals looking to find their friends for life.

To check out the pets that are still available, go to spcala.com

Twenty-five puppies looking for forever homes will be featured Friday morning on ABC7 Eyewitness News!
