LOS ANGELES – More than 1,200 shelter pets at the seven LA County Animal Care Centers will be ready for their close up on Saturday, July 13 (from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.) when the largest photoshoot of shelter pets happens on one day.
The first-ever “Seen = Saved Adoption Event” will bring together 200 photographers to give exposure to all the shelter pets that are available for adoption. All adoption fees will be waived for the weekend.
Photographers will be creating profiles of every pet with photos, videos and a personal bio and posting them on SeenEqualsSaved.com. The Petco Foundation and BOBS from Skechers are sponsoring the adoption fees for this event.
