Bring love home at the Best Friends Super Adoption in L.A.

Join us November 2-3 at Rose Bowl Stadium, and meet hundreds of adoptable dogs and cats of all sizes, types, and ages from more than 20 Los Angeles-area animal rescue groups and shelters.

When you adopt a homeless pet from a shelter or rescue group in Los Angeles, you’re saving the life of a loving and loyal animal. And you’re making space for other pets to find families of their own.

In fact, if just 6% more people like you chose to adopt versus purchase their pets, we would end the killing of dogs and cats in our nation's shelters. So together, let’s bring our best friends home and Save Them All.
