SpayInLA 2011
Found Animals® hosted its first SpayInLA Day on February 19, 2011. Almost 400 free spay/neuter surgeries were performed throughout LA. Our special Pet Fair took place at Councilwoman Jan Perry's District in South Los Angeles. The event was family and pet friendly with activities such as face painting, a prize wheel, pet grooming, snow cones, cotton candy and much more!
