At the end of the day 17 of 25 dogs brought to the first Park adoption event in March went to new homes. The remaining dogs were taken back to the shelter but will remain under the watchful eye of AAA volunteers, who will continue their efforts.
Adoptions will continue at Pan Pacific Park the last Sunday of every month. Write info@animaladvocatesalliance.org or call 310-285-8422.
