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.

You come to LAist because you want independent reporting and trustworthy local information. Our newsroom doesn’t answer to shareholders looking to turn a profit. Instead, we answer to you and our connected community. We are free to tell the full truth, to hold power to account without fear or favor, and to follow facts wherever they lead. Our only loyalty is to our audiences and our mission: to inform, engage, and strengthen our community.

Right now, LAist has lost $1.7M in annual funding due to Congress clawing back money already approved. The support we receive from readers like you will determine how fully our newsroom can continue informing, serving, and strengthening Southern California.
