ASPCA and its local partner, Bark Avenue Foundation, announce the combined participation of 16 SoCal shelters in ASPCA’s nationwide Mega Match-A-Thon, March 30 through April 1, 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. each day. Working together, the shelters will try to double the number of adoptions they made during the same weekend in 2011.
“With the help of ASPCA and our 16 shelter partners, the Mega Match-A-Thon will be the biggest-ever adoption event in Southern California. There’ll be more than 5,000 beautiful dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, and bunnies hoping to find new homes,” says Melanie Pozez, Founder and Executive Director of Bark Avenue Foundation.
Participating shelters: LA City Animal Services (East Valley, Harbor, North Central, South LA, West LA, West Valley; LA County Animal Services (Agoura, Baldwin Park, Carson, Castaic, Downey, Lancaster); and other County and Public Shelters (City of Irvine Animal Care, Kern County Animal Control, SEAACA, Ventura County Animal Services).
