Christmas time is all about giving. We give gifts to our family and friends, we shower our dogs with love, affection, new toys and delicious treats. We decorate our housesĀ and give all our energy to make the season as enjoyable and cozy as possible. However, there are doggos in need that do not receive this kind of love, but luckily, there are generous people who work in donation centers that help these poor animals in their toughest days. Have a look at the list of the donation centers in Los Angeles where you can drop off supplies, toys, and treats for the less fortunate dogs over the Christmas season.Ā
The acronym spcaLA stands for the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Los Angeles, and they work tirelessly to help animals in need. They accept donations, and they always need your help! You can bring them fleece blankets, wet and dry dog food, chicken jerky treats; turkey treats, chews, dental sticks, pig ear treats, puppy diapers and kennels. Make their holidays bright by donating.
Best Friends Animal Society in Los Angeles helps to save the lives of abandoned and abused animals, and you can help them by donating to them, or by purchasing items from their Christmas wish list. They need harnesses both for large and small dogs, various toys such as tires, fetch toys, toys that can attach to kennels, and of course, wet and dry dog food.
The No-Kill Los Angeles Pet Adoption Center is an organization that helps find homes for lonely and abandoned cats and dogs.
