SPCA OFFERS FREE PUPPIES TO CLEAR THE S.F. SHELTER FOR L.A. FIRE RESCUES

If you or someone you know is considering adopting a puppy, now is a good time to do it. The SF SPCA has around 50 puppies for adoption and they’re FREE! (They have older dogs and cats, too.) Normally $@00-$400, each adopted puppy has been checked by a vet, spayed or neutered, had its first set of shots, and is microchipped. All for free.

The SPCA is heading to LA Monday to bring back as many dogs and cats as it can to clear as many shelters there as possible so the SoCal shelters can handle the influx of animals from the fires. The more they adopt out, the more they can relieve the stress and overcrowding of the LA shelters.

Please let friends and family know in case they’ve been thinking about adopting. And check out SFSPCA.org to see the animals available now. More are added every day.
