Dog adopt-a-thon in San Pedro
San Pedro's Harbor Animal Shelter is celebrating St. Patrick's Day a wee bit early with its St. Patrick's Weekend Adopt-a-thon. There probably won't be too many green pets, but there will be a huge variety of great dogs and cats to choose from.
And, to make the adoption event even more appealing, those who adopt a dog that weighs 35 pounds or more will get a free luxury dog bed (while supplies last) for their new friend to sleep in. There will also be a $10 discount off adoption fees for the first five dogs over 35 pounds adopted throughout the weekend; and a coupon for a free dog wash at Tidy Dog Grooming for every dog adopted.
Adoption hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday at 957 N. Gaffey St., San Pedro.
Call 213-485-8755 for more details.

But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.

I noticed an ad for a puppy store, Toto Puppies on your site. Do you know where they get their puppies from? Most stores get them from puppy mills and should not be supported.
