Pets of the Week: Coulson and Cupid
Coulson is a nice, affectionate cat. He is a sweet gentleman who would love a lap to call his own. He gets along with most other cats and people of all ages. Bring out the catnip and he will be your friend for life!
Coulson is available for adoption at the spcaLA South Bay Pet Adoption Center in Hawthorne. All adopted cats come with microchip, vaccinations, and a spay or neuter surgery.
Cupid is a 3-year-old Papillon/Japanese Chin mix. Rescued on Valentine's Day, New Leash on Life couldn't resist the urge to name this lover boy, Cupid. There is evidence that Cupid may have been abused in his previous home; he seems to be afraid of large boots and brooms. Despite his seemingly rough start in life, this guy is still a happy dog who loves walks, sniffing plants, and sitting in your lap. He is an active little guy who loves to run and play, especially with other dogs.Cupid is a graduate of Obedience Training and his adopters will receive one free courtesy training session. Cupid would like an experienced dog owner who is prepared to continue his behavioral training so that he can be the best dog he can be. To meet Cupid, submit an adoption application which can be found on the New Leash On Life website. New Leash On Life is a no-kill dog rescue located in Newhall. They rescue dogs from city and county shelters and re-home them to loving families. All adoptable dogs are vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed or neutered.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
