Join us November 21-22 at Rose Bowl Stadium, and meet hundreds of adoptable dogs and cats of all sizes, types, and ages from 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. 

We need the public's help more than ever to make no-kill a reality. So together, let’s bring our best friends home and Save Them All.

All dog adoption fees will be under $350 and cat adoption fees are waived thanks to PrettyLitter. Plus, parking for the event is free.

RSVP for Early Access

Become a VIP and get in an hour early!

RSVP now and you'll receive an Early Access Pass that gets you through the gates at 10 a.m. — a full hour before general admission opens at 11. That means you'll be among the first to meet the adoptable dogs and cats before the bigger crowds arrive.
