L.A. Animal Services offering 50% discount on dog, cat and rabbit adoptions through weekend

Rather than going to the mall and shelling out $1000 plus for a fluffy, white Maltese, consider adopting a pet in need from Los Angeles Animal Services. From now until Sunday, LAAS will be offering 50% off on adoptions for cats, dogs and rabbits. In addition to the adoption discount, LAAS is including a free microchip implant, an estimated $15 value.

In order to adopt a pet, head to one of the six animal services care centers listed below, provide a valid driver's license and pay the adoption fee. Charges cover necessary vaccinations, spaying/neutering for cats and dogs and microchipping. The maximum adoption cost for Los Angeles County residents is $117 for dogs, $76 for cats and $56 for rabbits. 

In 2009, LAAS assisted in more than 12,575 dogs and cat adoptions, as well as 252 rabbit adoptions.

And people say there are never any puppies at the pound.

I wish I still lived in L.A. - I'd probably have those three pups by now...

Hooray! It is such a great idea to get a pet from a shelter instead of a pet store. Unfortunately pet stores often buy from puppy mills which are unethical and usually unhealthy. Pet adoption saves a life!
