A mobile pet adoption event was held at Tailwaggers in Hollywood, giving the public an opportunity to meet dogs and cats available for adoption or foster care through L.A. City Animal Services.

The event featured a mix of cats and larger dogs, including animals currently living with foster volunteers. These pets arrived with valuable insights into their behavior in home environments, offering potential adopters a clearer picture of how they interact with people and families.

Animal services officials say fostering plays a critical role in preparing pets for permanent homes. Observations from foster caregivers can help match animals with suitable adopters—information that sometimes is unavailable for animals who arrive at shelters as strays.

Other pets at the event came directly from city shelters, but all benefitted from being introduced to the public outside the shelter setting, where animals can appear more relaxed and approachable.

Pet ownership offers companionship and emotional connection, while requiring little more than care, affection, and routine maintenance in return.

Residents interested in adopting or fostering a pet can learn more through L.A. City Animal Services which operates six animal shelters across the city.
