LA ANIMALS UPCOMING EVENTS & MAY ADOPTIONS
Posted on 05/02/2025
This May, LA Animal Services will offer reduced adoption fees for dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens every weekend throughout the month! For your convenience, we've attached the corresponding graphics that can be posted on your social media accounts.
May Reduced Adoption Fee Weekends
LA Animal Services will offer reduced adoption fees for the weekends in May to help the pets in our six Centers to find loving homes. To encourage animal lovers to adopt, LA Animal Services invites you to meet your new canine buddy or feline friend at one of our special adoption weekend events happening in May!
- May 3-4: National Pet Week Adoption Weekend (graphic attached)
- May 7-10: Mother's Day Adoption Weekend
- May 17 - 18: Middle O' May Adoption Weekend
- May 24-25: MemorialDay Adoption Weekend
- May 31 - June 1: National Pet Preparedness Month Adoption Weekend
Furry friends adopted from LA Animal Services join their new families already spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Adopters also receive a Petco flyer with discounts to help make their pet adoption a success and a VCA Healthy Start Certificate, which provides up to $250 of follow up veterinary care within the first 14 days of adoption, and for a limited time a free dog or cat bed thanks to a donation from Chewy and Greater Good Charities. In addition, dogs are also eligible for free dog training classes with Paws for Life K9 Rescue at their People & Pet Innovation Center in Mission Hills, CA. Contact info@
If you're unable to adopt, fostering a pet is a great way to welcome a dog or cat into your home while giving them a break from being in a shelter.
Pawsapalooza Adoption Event in Griffith Park- Tomorrow!
Get ready for Pawsapalooza on Saturday, May 3! Pawsapalooza is a dog adoption event and donation drive next to Shane's Inspiration Playground in Griffith Park.
Hosted by Julie Mollo Homes Group, you'll have the chance to take home a furry friend, enter a raffle for paw-some prizes, and enjoy music, food, art and more! See you there!
Crafted Port of LA Rabbit Adoption Event
Join LA Animal Services staff and volunteers this Sunday, May 4th from 11AM-2PM for a Rabbit and Small Animals Adoption Event at Crafted! LA Animal Services will be on-site with adoptable rabbits and other small animals ready to meet and go home with you!
Spay and Neuter Information
LA Animal Services wants to remind pet owners that spay and neuter resources, like free spay/neuter certificates and low-cost vouchers, are available to all Angeleos. The free certificates and low-cost vouchers may be found and downloaded from laspayneuter.com or are available for pick up at any of our six LA Animal Services Centers located throughout the City.

WHAT IS A NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCIL?
Neighborhood Councils are the closest form of government to the people. They are advisory bodies, who advocate for their communities with City Hall on important issues like development, homelessness, and emergency preparedness. Neighborhood Councils are part of the Los Angeles City government, and have annual budgets funded by taxpayer dollars. Neighborhood Council board members are City officials who are elected by the members of their local communities, but they donate their time as volunteers.
The TNC Board is elected by stakeholders and holds regular monthly meetings on the fourth Tuesday of the month. Special Meetings are sometimes called, in between the regular monthly meetings, when matters of urgency need to be addressed. Any and all meeting times, dates, locations, and agendas are always posted, on the Tarzana Neighborhood Council tarzananc.org website, at least 72 hours in advance and often on social media.
In addition to the General Board; TNC has Committees which are focused on key issues such as: beautification, budget & finance, homelessness, land use, public safety & traffic, as well as a committee for outreach.
WHO CAN RUN OR VOTE?
While Neighborhood Council board members are volunteers, they are public officials elected by the members of their community. Most board members serve two-year terms. All 21 seats/positions on the TNC are open.
Unlike other city, state, or federal elections, voting and being a candidate in Neighborhood Council (NC) elections is open to more than just the residents of a community. Participation is open to those who live, work, or own property or a business within an NC’s boundaries, as well as to “community interest stakeholders,” such as church members, local students (or parents of students), or members of local service organizations. Please check TNC Boundary Map here.
Candidates need not be US citizens or legal residents to qualify. Participation is also open to the formerly incarcerated. The minimum age to vote is 16; the minimum age to run for a TNC seat is 18.

Caballero Creek Park
Posted on 07/31/2024BOB BLUMENFIELD
COUNCILMEMBER, THIRD DISTRICT
COUNCILMEMBER BLUMENFIELD AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO CELEBRATE
GROUNDBREAKING OF FIRST SELF-SUSTAINING PARK IN LA
WEST SAN FERNANDO VALLEY, CA – Tomorrow, Councilmember Bob Blumenfield will be joined by city, local leaders and residents for the ceremonial groundbreaking of Caballero Creek Park. This site will convert a 1.5-acre underutilized lot into a multiple-benefit park, located at the convergence of the Los Angeles River and Caballero Creek in Tarzana. It will be the first self-sustaining park in Los Angeles- meaning water will be captured on and off-site and using solar, the water will be cleaned to irrigate the park.
The Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority (MRCA), Department of Recreation and Parks, Bureau of Sanitation, General Services Department, and Los Angeles County have joined forces for Caballero Creek Park. Blumenfield helped bring in seven different funding sources and cut through significant red tape over the past few years to get shovels in the ground. He also partnered with Reseda High School so this new space will serve as an outdoor classroom. The design utilizes innovative methods that lead to watershed protection, including a bioswale and a wetland component for storm water treatment. The new wetlands will create habitat, clean water and help connect Angelenos to California’s struggling riverine ecology. The site plan also includes a variety of offerings for the community including an outdoor fitness center, play and recreation, access to the LA River bike paths, and more.
This park will mark the latest new City park that Blumenfield has helped create following the Costanso Fire Station Park and the LA River and Aliso Creek Confluence Park. He also led the effort to create the new facilities at the Woodland Hills Rec Center, as well as major renovations at various parks throughout his community.
WHAT: Blumenfield will be joined by city leaders and residents for a ground breaking of a new park in the West Valley.
WHO: Councilmember Bob Blumenfield
