LOS ANGELES, February 13, 2024 — Looking for a Valentine’s Day companion? Best Friends Pet Adoption Center in West Los Angeles is offering a unique opportunity to spend the weekend with a furry friend, and it could lead to a lasting connection.

A Valentine’s Date with a Difference

Spend Valentine’s Eve with a potential new best friend, and maybe even find the love of your life.

“There is no love comparable to the love of a pet,” said Julie Castle, executive director of Best Friends Animal Society. “If you decide to spend Valentine’s Day opening your heart and home to temporarily foster a dog or cat, you could find the new love of your life.”

Interested individuals can visit the Adoption Center between 11:00 am and 4:00 pm on February 13 to meet the animals and find a compatible match. The Best Friends team will assist in the selection process and provide everything needed to care for the temporary guest, including food, treats, and toys.

The Benefits of a Foster Night

Spending a night with a pet allows them to de-stress and relax outside of the shelter environment while they await their forever home. According to Best Friends Pet Adoption Center, a temporary home can make a significant difference in an animal’s well-being.

What happens on February 14? If a connection is made, adopters can choose to continue fostering or finalize an adoption. Pets not immediately adopted will return to the center to continue meeting potential families.
