Bringing Love To LA Animal Shelters

To celebrate a weekend of discounted animal adoptions at all LA County shelters, Much Love Animal Rescue is partnering with the West LA Animal Shelter on Saturday,  May 12, to offer the ultimate matchmaking services – people and their pets.  A “man and beast” match made in heaven takes some careful consideration and a good deal of experience. Much Love’s expert adoption counselors, along with a team of trainers and groomers, will guide potential adopters through the process of pairing couch potatoes with lap dogs and fitness fiends with exercise hounds. After all, a great couple needs to have some shared interests!

To sweeten the offer, in addition to all discounted adoptions – at the West LA Animal Shelter, Much Love will pay for the first 20 dogs and 20 cats!  Colleen Steckloff, celebrity trainer seen on the Dog Whisperer with Cesar Milan, will be among several certified trainers giving advice on temperament and training methods. Then finally, when adopters are ready to take Fido home, Town & Country Mobile Grooming will clean, primp and preen all those lucky enough to have found their forever homes.
