Historic Animal Adoption Event at Rose Bowl Stadium
Hundreds of Cats and Dogs Find New Homes

The Los Angeles-based Best Friends Animal Society, now in its 25th year, organized the super adoption event to help ease the strain on animal shelters and rescue groups and allow more animals to find positive outcomes.
A Critical Issue: Overcrowding in LA Shelters
