Shelters Seek Homes for 5,000 Pets

Twenty Southern California animal shelters are half-way through a month-long Fall 5,000 Super Adoption drive.

The adoption campaign spans five counties with the aim of sending 5,000 pets to permanent homes.

Jan Selder, director of Los Angeles Animal Services, told KCAL9: "We're going to make that, we're going to do better than that. That's our goal."

"The shelters are full of thousands and thousands of animals," she said.

"All the shelters have various types of animals. There are (adoption and spay/neuter) discounts offered at the various shelters throughout the Southern California area."

"Dog, cat, bird reptile; you name it and the shelters have it," Selder said.

"This is a huge event, like 20 different California shelters are participating."

In addition, Pets to Patriots.org, of the Jason Debus Heigl Foundation, is offering  free adoptions for veterans.
