Adopt your next pet and bring home a star

Many Best Friends Super Adoption attendees went home with a star of their very own, and you still can, too!

The Best Friends Super Adoption is over, but there are still so many dogs and cats in Los Angeles just waiting for a best friend like you.

Adopting a homeless pet from a shelter or rescue group in Los Angeles saves the life of a loving and loyal animal, and it makes space for other pets to find families of their own.
