Pets Of The Week: Fall In Love With Snow & Beautiful Betty
Betty (ID # A0790807) at South LA Animal Care Shelter / 888-4LAPET1
By Ana Bustilloz/Special to LAist

Are you Spring Cleaning? Those old blankets, towels or sheets you’re tossing can find a new life at your neighborhood animal care center! They’ll also take newspapers, dog and cat toys, treats and food, so when you're buying food for your pet, think about getting an extra bag or can to donate to the homeless pets of Los Angeles.
Most pet adoption centers have wishlists that include items needed for the facility or operations like office supplies, canopies, small kitchen appliances or furniture. By donating items such as these, budgets can be used for things like rehabilitation, veterinary services and animal training which can make all the difference for a shelter pet waiting for a new home. Check out the Wish Lists below to see if you can help.
These LAist Pets of the Week are from Los Angeles Animal Services. LA Animal Services operatessix facilities around the city where you can adopt, get a dog license or look for a lost pet.

One year ago, Congress voted to defund public media, eliminating a critical $1.7 million from our budget every year going forward. But they couldn’t silence us, and we’re not going anywhere. LAist is now 100% community funded and that means we’re taking our future into our own hands and turning to you to keep local reporting strong.

Instead, we answer to you and our communities. We are free to follow facts wherever they lead and to hold power to account without fear or favor.
