SPCA: ADOPT FREE PUPPIES TO CLEAR 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 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, has been spayed or neutered, has had its first set of shots, and has been microchipped. All for free.

SPCA brings back as many dogs and cats as possible so Southern California shelters can handle the influx of animals from the L.A. fires. The more they adopt out, the more they can relieve the stress and overcrowding of their shelters.

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