Share Your Adoption Story and Help LA Animal Services' Holiday Wishes Come True with $100K Grant from the Petco Foundation

Individuals who have adopted a pet from LA Animal Services are invited to share how their pet has changed their life to help give LA Animal Services a chance to receive a $100,000 grand prize Holiday Wishes grant award from the Petco Foundation. In partnership with BOBS from Skechers, the Petco Foundation is granting more than $750,000 this holiday season to qualified animal welfare organizations across the country. Awards will range from $5,000 to $100,000, and adopters with winning submissions will receive up to a $1,000 Petco shopping spree and a prize pack with BOBS from Skechers shoes.

"We're calling on all LA Animal Services adopters to help us earn a lifesaving grant award this holiday season from the Petco Foundation by sharing their stories," said LA Animal Services General Manager, Brenda Barnette. "Thank you for choosing adoption; now you can make our holiday wishes come true by helping us earn lifesaving funds to bring more pets in need together with loving families."
