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 when what’s being called “the largest photo shoot of pets in shelters” happens on one day.
The first ever “Seen = Saved” Adoption Event will bring together 200 photographers from around the country to give exposure to all the shelter pets that are available for adoption. Adoption fees will be waived as a result of support from Petco Foundation and BOBS from Skechers.
Photos and bios of every pet will be posted on SeenEqualsSaved.com.
