--- # National Rescue Dog Day Friday, May 19 | \| Celebrate National Rescue Dog Day By Adopting a Canine Companion From LA Animal Services \| \|:-:\| | |:-:| | \| ![](https://files.constantcontact.com/8a4eafbc501/1a9cc3a7-71fe-4a3e-8f98-29d50c3412be.png?rdr=true) \| \|:-:\| | |:-:| | \| Los Angeles, May 19, 2023 – National Rescue Dog Day is Saturday, May 20, and to encourage pet adoptions, LA Animal Services will be offering reduced adoption fees this weekend: Saturday, May 20 and Sunday, May 21. Adoption fees for dogs will be $51 (not including $20 license) and $75 for puppies. Adoption fees for cats will be $12.50 and $25 for kittens. National Rescue Dog Day was created to help bring awareness to the countless number of amazing dogs in shelters across the country. “With this Saturday being National Rescue Dog Day, what better way to celebrate than bringing home a new furry friend,” said Annette Ramirez, Interim General Manager for LA Animal Services. “Our Centers are at capacity, mainly with larger/medium-sized dogs, so please consider adopting or fostering as we have plenty of amazing and loveable pets ready to meet you and be a part of your family.” Dogs and cats adopted from LA Animal Services join their new families already spayed or neutered, vaccinated, licensed, and microchipped, and adopters receive a VCA Healthy Start Certificate, which provides up to $250 of follow up veterinary care within the first 14 days of adoption. In addition, canine companions adopted from LA Animal Services are also eligible for free dog training classes at the Paws for Life K9 Rescue People & Pet Innovation Center in Mission Hills, CA.
