Lakers Girls Visit Downey Animal Care Center During 75th Anniversary Celebration
More than 250 pets were adopted during the countywide celebration at six animal shelters on Sept. 29.
The Lakers Girls dropped by for a visit at the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control's Downey shelter on Saturday to help spread some good cheer during the DACC's 75th Anniversary celebration.
During the daylong festivities, six of the DACC's animal shelters offered discounted pet fees, resulting in the adoption of 251 animals -- including 46 from the nearby Downey facility.
The Downey animal care center, located at 11258 S. Garfield Ave., serves several communities, including the cities of Cerritos and Artesia. For more information on pet adoption call the shelter directly at (562) 940-6898.
