LOS ANGELES (KABC) — ABC7 celebrated National Puppy Day with our 8th annual Puppy Palooza adoption event on Friday, and we are happy to report that all 20 puppies featured found homes within a matter of minutes!
However, three bigger dogs featured at the event still need forever homes, and we hope you’ll help us find the right fit for these great companions!
Batman is a 7-year-old male Shepherd mix. He is very treat motivated and affectionate. He would do best in a home where he is the only pet. He’s participated in several Violence Prevention Humane Education programs with youth and does well in the car rides to and from the events. He sits quietly in his crate while waiting for programs to begin.
Oreo is a 6-year-old female Catahoula Leopard dog. She is a sweet, friendly dog who loves to watch local wildlife and likes to “hug” her favorite humans. Catahoula Leopard dogs are named after Catahoula Parish, Louisiana, and became the Louisiana state dog in 1979.
Berlin is a 4-year-old male Bull Terrier. He loves music! Just put on some tunes and he’ll “sing” along. He loves to work on skills like “wave,” “play dead,” and saying “I love you.” He would do best in a home where he is the only dog
Those wishing to adopt one can go to the spcaLA PD Pitchford Companion Animal Village & Education Center.
The address is 7700 E. Spring Street in Long Beach and they are open Wednesday-Sunday, 10 a.m.-3 p.m.
The adoption fees for these three dogs are waived, thanks to Howard’s Appliances and The Lab Athletic Club!
