Long Beach Animal Care Services (LBACS) is one of many shelters nationwide participating in NBCUniversal Local’s 2026 Clear the Shelters national pet adoption and donation campaign, happening through Aug. 31.
LBACS is offering $16 adoption specials for cats and allowing dog adopters to name their adoption fee for dogs over six months old during the event. The special pricing also includes spay/neuter services, microchip and vaccine costs to emphasize responsible, mindful adoptions.
“Through our Long Beach Animal Care Services, we are proud to be a longstanding participant of this important campaign that helps animals find a safe and loving home,” said Mayor Rex Richardson in a public statement.
Prospective Long Beach adopters can search for their future pet by breed, gender and size and submit an application via the adoptions webpage before visiting.
Residents can also get involved and support local animals by fostering, volunteering or through a variety of donation opportunities.
Those interested in the adoption specials can visit LBACS (7700 E. Spring St.) Wednesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5.30 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
