洛杉矶市动物服务局周六在好莱坞办领养会：寄养宠物等新家
想给家里添一位毛茸茸的新成员，这个周末就有一个机会。美国加利福尼亚州洛杉矶县洛杉矶市动物服务局将于11月7日（周六）上午11时至下午2时，在好莱坞的 Tailwaggers 举办领养见面会，带来一批目前由寄养家庭照顾的待领养宠物与公众见面。
据洛杉矶市动物服务局介绍，这批宠物平时住在寄养志愿者家中，不在收容所的笼舍里，性格与生活习惯已有寄养人摸底，现场工作人员和寄养人可以帮助领养人了解每只动物的脾气、精力水平和适合的家庭类型，挑中后即可按市动物服务局的流程办理领养。
洛杉矶市六家动物服务中心长期处于超容量运转，寄养是缓解笼舍压力、也让动物提前适应家庭生活的关键一环。市动物服务局提醒，有意领养的市民可提前在其官网浏览待领养动物名单，带好身份证件到场；无法领养的市民也可报名成为寄养家庭，为等待新家的动物提供一个临时落脚点。
除本周六的活动外，市内六家动物服务中心每周二、周四上午8时至下午5时，周六、周日上午11时至下午5时开放领养，周三、周五需预约，周一闭馆。（来源：洛杉矶市动物服务局）
LA Animal Services Brings Foster Pets to Hollywood Adoption Event This Saturday
Families looking to add a four-legged member have a chance this weekend. Los Angeles Animal Services, in Los Angeles County, California, will host a Tailwaggers adoption event in Hollywood on Saturday, Nov. 7, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., featuring adoptable pets who are currently living in foster care.
According to the department, these animals live with foster volunteers rather than in shelter kennels, so their personalities and habits are already well documented. Staff and foster caregivers will be on hand to help visitors understand each animal's temperament, energy level, and the type of home that suits it best, and adoptions can be completed on site through the department's standard process.
The city's six animal care centers run persistently over capacity, and fostering is a key way to relieve pressure on kennels while helping animals adjust to home life. The department encourages prospective adopters to browse the online list of available animals in advance and bring identification. Those who cannot adopt can also sign up as foster caregivers to give a waiting animal a temporary home.
Beyond Saturday's event, the six centers are open for adoptions Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., with appointments required on Wednesdays and Fridays and closures on Mondays. (Source: Los Angeles Animal Services)
