Pedro Pet Pals happily purchases much needed items for their harbor shelter grooming room – kennel dryers, stand up dryers, grooming tools and gallons of shampoos and conditioners. We are so grateful to the grooming team who make the dogs feel and look much better.
Be very careful of the toys that you give your puppy or dog to play with. Bernese Angel (AKA Daisy), was just six-months old and tragically died earlier this month after ingesting rope, part of a dog toy. Vets operated on her to remove the rope from multiple organs but sadly, she passed away, devastating her family.
Dogs naturally chew and no toy is indestructible. It’s a good idea to supervise your pet’s play time with their toys – whether the toys are size-appropriate for the pet and their type of play, or labeled as “indestructible” – even a seemingly harmless one can be hazardous.
Pedro Pet Pals is partnering with the National Kitten Coalition to provide a no-cost Kitten Foster Class on June 1, 2019. Help Save a Life!
During fires, many pets can become victims of smoke or gas inhalation and will require oxygen. However, emergency response vehicles do not have oxygen kits that will fit them.
Our local fire departments will be able to save more of our four-legged loved ones if they have pet oxygen masks kits on board. The kits come with different sized masks to fit small, medium and large animals.
Please help us fund these needed kits and save beloved pets lives by making a donation HERE.

Theresa Sardisco and Clint Patterson were presented with a plaque expressing the appreciation of Spay Neuter Project of Los Angeles. SNPLA and Pedro Pet Pals have collaborated to raise awareness and extensive efforts to provide free and low cost spay/neuter and veterinary services to animals in need throughout the South Bay.
Thank You Clint Patterson and Pedro Pet Pals!
Papa’s neuter surgery was about a month ago. He took a bit longer to recover, but has since recovered & is back to being his playful self. The surgery would not have been possible without your assistance, and we are forever grateful. I promise to pay it forward whenever opportunities within my means or abilities present themselves to do so.

Every year around the Fourth of July, LA Animal Services Centers fill beyond capacity with terrified lost pets. This means that available shelter space can be the difference between life and death for our shelter guests who have been with us past the required hold period. YOU can make that life-saving difference by fostering for four days or more or adopting.
In Los Angeles, daily dog and cat admissions at the six LA Animal Services Centers increased by 5.1% from July 2 to July 6 in comparison to the average daily intake in 2017. The loud sounds of July 4th fireworks frighten dogs and cats. If they get out of the house or yard, they run in fear. Then these frightened dogs and cats can’t find their way home and end up at our City shelters. These pets are counting on us to help reunite them with their families.
“While many people are out celebrating, the shelters will be flooded with scared pets,” said Brenda Barnette, LA Animal Services General Manager. “Our hope is that animal lovers in Los Angeles will open their home and hearts to help orphaned pets. If you aren’t ready to adopt, fostering is a great way to see what it’s like to have a four-legged addition to your family.”
We have hundreds of wonderful dogs and cats of all ages, breeds and sizes waiting to be your temporary companion or best friend forever. Adopt or foster a shelter pet today. By giving an abandoned pet a new home or letting them stay with you for a short time, you are saving two lives, the one you are caring for and the one who now has room at the shelter.
Every pet is spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and ready to be placed in a good home. Additionally, to help maximize space during this critical time, the Pet Care Foundation is helping us reduce $50 on our adoption fees this weekend, June 23rd and 24th, during their biannual CHI-PITTY-KITTY adoption event. Cat and kitten adoption fees are $26.00 and pit bull terriers and chihuahua adoption fees are $72.00 (includes $20 City license). Click here to view our adoptable pets.
To volunteer to foster, print your application at LAASFostering or go to your nearest animal services center and ask for a Foster Volunteer Application. Please drop off your completed form to your nearest center as soon as possible so we know we have you as a resource during our busiest time. You can pick up a pet to foster right away or we can reach out when we need the most help.
The shelters are open Tuesday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. We are closed on Mondays and the Fourth of July. To find the shelter nearest you, visit LAASlocator or call (888) 452-7381 .
Together, we can save more lives in the City of Angels! Our heartfelt thanks will be nothing compared to the lifetime of memories and unconditional love you will get from your furry friend.
