Photos: The Cute Dogs & Cats Of This Weekend's Super Adoption
The NKLA Super Adoption is happening this weekend, featuring over 1,000 adoptable dogs and cats! We met just a handful of animals looking for their new best friend.
Best Friends Animal Society's NKLA (No-Kill Los Angeles) Super Adoption is happening this Saturday and Sunday at the La Brea Tar Pits and Museum. Dogs and cats will be available from area shelters and fees are as low as $50 per animal.
Each animal has been spayed or neutered, micro-chipped and vaccinated. Those who choose to take a new pet home will also receive a collar, leash, food, coupons and other pet supplies as long as they're still available. You may bring your own pets to meet new potential housemates as long as your dogs are leashed.
NKLA recommends that adopters bring your ID, payment and a letter from your landlord stating that you may have a pet. Some shelters will offer same-day adoptions while others may require home checks, and each has their own requirements and pay structures.

For those looking to make a day of it searching for the perfect pet, food trucks will be on site and there will also be a photo booth to keep you entertained.
NKLA's last Super Adoption event was held in May and 520 cats and dogs—as well as one pig and one bunny—found new homes.
The NKLA Super Adoption is on Saturday, November 7 and Sunday, November 8 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the La Brea Tar Pits and Museum at 5801 Wilshire Blvd. in Los Angeles. Admission is free, adopting fees vary.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
