When most folks go to an animal shelter, they're often looking for a puppy, a kitten or a purebreed. But that leaves a lot of other animals alone and looking for someone to give them a loving home. The good people over at the Found Animals Foundation are trying to solve that problem during this holiday season and they're running the "12 Pets of Christmas" promotion to help these unfortunate souls find a place of their own.
Many of the animals that are often left behind at shelters include adult cats older than nine months, large dogs that weigh more than 40 lbs, black pets, animals with medical needs, senior or overweight pets, shy animals, certain breeds such as Chihuahuas, Chihuahua mixes and Pit Bulls, exotic pets like birds and reptiles and so-called "bonded pairs", in which two animals must be adopted together for fear that one could become ill or infirm without the other's presence. These animals are often overlooked by people looking to adopt a pet, so to help them find a home, the Found Animal Foundation is offering discounts on their already low adoption fees when you choose to rescue one of these types of hard to place animals.
Print out a coupon at www.foundanimals.org/12pets for discounts of up to $30 on cats, $40 on dogs and 50% off fees for adopting an exotic animal (up to $40). Just bring the coupon in to a participating shelter at one of the following Found Animal Foundation locations: Agoura, Baldwin Park, Carson, Castaic, Downey, Lancaster, North Central, South Los Angeles, West Los Angeles, East Valley, West Valley, Harbor, Long Beach Animal Care Services, AV Pet Stop, spcaLA, spcaLA South Bay Pet Adoption Center and the SEAACA/Cat Adoption Center.
These animals just want a home for the holidays and with these discounted rates, it's easier than ever to welcome a new loving companion into your life. If you are looking for a new pet, won't you consider bringing home one of the "12 Pets of Christmas"?
