<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Tomorrow, August 19, NBC4 Southern California and Telemundo 52 Los Angeles will culminate their monthlong campaign to get as many SoCal shelter animals as possible adopted out to good people. Clear the Shelters<\/a>\u00a0is a campaign to raise awareness of the benefits of pet adoption and reduce shelter overpopulation by sending shelter pets in droves into loving homes. It\u2019s presented nationally by Petco and NBCUniversal Owned Television Stations, the parent company of NBC4 and Telemundo 52. Since 2015, shelters across the country have adopted out over 73,000 pets on one single day. Last year, in the more than 60 shelters that comprise the SoCal effort, 8,200 went home.<\/p>\n \u201cWe look forward to launching the effort for the third year and seeing thousands of people in Southern California come together for a single day of action,\u201d said Celia Chavez, president and general manager of\u00a0Telemundo 52 Los Angeles. \u201cI encourage everyone to join us and help \u2018Clear the Shelters\u2019 and give thousands of homeless animals the chance of a new life.\u201d<\/p>\n The campaign has been going on for a month, and tomorrow is the main event. News anchors and reporters will visit some of the shelters to highlight families and their new family members, and the day will be recapped on the evening news. Additionally, VCA Animal Hospitals\u2019 health teams will be at the shelters to offer a limited health guarantee and a certificate for a free first exam to all new pet owners to ensure a healthy start.<\/p>\n The title \u201cClear the Shelters\u201d bears a sense of crisis or urgency, and indeed, to animal advocates in every community, there is one. Even with the reforms and the creative efforts here in Long Beach, any pet abandoned to possibly die in a shelter is, as Long Beach Animal Care Services\u2019 (ACS)<\/a>\u00a0slogan states, \u201c1 Too Many.\u201d It\u2019s hoped that with the special $20 adoption fee, people will come to adopt many if not all of the beautiful cats, dogs and rabbits at ACS and at spcaLA, both located in the P. D. Pitchford Companion Animal Village, 7700 East Spring Street in Long Beach, at the entrance to El Dorado Park.<\/p>\n And clearly, \u201cClear the Shelters\u201d isn\u2019t an attempt to dump the pets on people the way they\u2019ve been dumped at shelters\u2014requirements for adoption will be honored, and all pets will be medically examined, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. An additional bonus for adopters: $25 off a meal at Thai Silk restaurant, 1506 Broadway in Long Beach if you take home a senior pet (7 years or older) and bring the paperwork to the restaurant within 30 days. Hey, if Rover, Fluffy or Flopsy can have a treat, so should you.<\/p>\n Just for fun, enter your pet\u2019s photo on SoCal\u2019s new social-media campaign. You can upload here<\/a>. And maybe during next year\u2019s campaign, you\u2019ll be showing off a photo of one of these guys from ACS or any of the ready-and-willing four-legged (and sometimes three-legged) furry creatures from the P. D. Pitchford Companion Animal Village!<\/p>\n Get ready for a Toga <\/strong>party! Toga, age 3, is the life of any party and is a lovable airhead. He\u2019s pretty goofy\u2014he got his name here at the shelter because he couldn’t catch treats for the life of him! He was brought in as a stray during the shelter’s busiest time of the year, and we know there has to be a home out there for him! Are you interested in a dog that will make you laugh, walks gently on leash, and enjoys endless belly rubs? That’s\u00a0Toga! Come on down and meet this boy! Ask for ID#A592428<\/a>.<\/p>\n London<\/strong>\u2019s calling, and he\u2019s hanging on the line for a home. London, age 5,\u00a0is a dapper gentleman who would love nothing more than to be your best friend! He came in as a stray, and unfortunately, his owner never came to look for him. When he\u2019s in his kennel, he just lies down and daydreams about the family he once had. He\u2019s calm, but gets very excited about going on an adventure with you! He waits patiently at the kennel door for you to slip his leash on him, and he does need some help and training learning how to walk nicely on leash, but what he lacks in leash skills, he makes up for in his personality! \u00a0London\u00a0wishes that a special family will see him and take him home. Ask for ID#A588486.<\/p>\n Hey-o, Hank<\/strong>! Want a loyal friend? Look no further than this dashing 5-year-old German shepherd! Hank knows sit and down, but what he really loves to do is play fetch. We\u2019ve got lots of dog parks and a great dog beach for Hank to indulge his passion at! Ask for ID#A594602.<\/p>\n Meet\u00a0Owen<\/strong>, everyone! This little darling 6-year-old came in as a stray, but he was neutered so he was definitely someone’s loving pet. He was severely malnourished but he\u2019s putting on weight now. He\u2019s getting treatment for dermatitis and looks a lot better. He\u2019s happy and chipper 24\/7, and he even knows a few tricks, too, like \u201cshake paw.\u201d He\u2019s always so pleased with himself when he does a trick and wants to show off his cool moves to as many people as possible! Shelter volunteer Mary says that Owen\u2019s her favorite dog at the shelter\u2014she said that he also knows \u201csit\u201d and will happily shake one or both paws endlessly even long after you\u2019ve run out of treats. If you\u2019re looking to adopt the sweetest dog in the world, come get\u00a0Owen. You\u2019ll make Mary\u2019s day! Ask for ID#A592032<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Molly<\/strong>\u00a0has a sad story, and we\u2019re crossing our fingers for a happy ending. She came into the shelter as a stray, though she had a microchip registered in Sacramento, with her name on it. She was very weak and malnourished and had trouble walking. We see very neglected or abused animals in our shelter often, but the officer who picked\u00a0Molly\u00a0up said that\u00a0she\u00a0had the worst flea infestation she had ever seen. Her entire backside was hard to the touch from scabs and dried blood. As you can see, she\u2019s lovely now and is very deserving of a home where she will receive endless amounts of love and care.\u00a0Molly\u00a0enjoys being outside with you and playing with her toy, but she also seems to enjoy resting in her kennel, probably because of her time on the streets. We would love nothing more than to see a photo of her in her loving adopted home resting on a dog bed or a comfy couch! Ask for #A593406<\/a>.<\/p>\n It seems as if every year, numerous pet calendars crop up faster than you can say \u201cpenthouse.\u201d They aren\u2019t the ones you can buy online or at bookstores\u2014full-color glossies of strangers with fur, feathers or scales adorning each month. The pets in these calendars live in actual homes\u2014maybe yours\u2014and are selected through donations to pet rescues. I figured that a separate section is in order until the entry deadline.

This event will feature professionals in the field of energy healing for dogs and will also be a fund-raiser for the opening of a dog-training facility that will, as Stanford says, \u201cutilize our successful training philosophy and techniques to create well-behaved, happy dogs and empowered, confident owners\u201d (see fundraiser details below in the Ongoing section). Canine attendees and their peeps will experience and learn about reiki, acupuncture, massage and raw diets, creating as much of a \u201cwhole dog\u201d as these techniques do to treat the whole person. Trots\u2019s free instructional pack walk, normally closed to the public, will take off at 10AM\u2014please, no flexible or retractable leashes.
