Thinking about adopting a dog from the shelter? This weekend might be the time to do so.
The Animal Rescue League of Boston (ARL) is preparing to take in dogs from Los Angeles area shelters impacted by the wildfires and, to make sure there is room, they are reducing dogs adoption fees by $100.
The adoption event will run through Sunday at ARL’s Adoption Centers in Boston, Dedham and Brewster. The reduced fees will apply to dogs of all ages.
“The devastation and impact of the fires still burning in Los Angeles is unprecedented, and ARL is proud to be a part of a massive relocation effort to find homes for these animals, which will also create much-needed kennel space in LA shelters for animals who have been displaced or injured due to the fires,” a press release from ARL said.

When will dogs from LA be available for adoption?
The dogs from LA will be flown to Delaware next week, and then will be brought by the ARL’s Transport Waggin’ to the Dedham Animal Care and Adoption Center.
Once there, the animals will need to undergo a 48-hour quarantine and be medically and behaviorally evaluated before they are up for adoption.
