Paws & Pajamas

Join us Saturday, May 25th, 9-10am for

Wags Kids Paws & Pajamas!

Wags Kids will enjoy time with adoptable cuties all while learning about the importance of rescue and reading to pups!

Featuring storytime with children’s book author Robert Vincent

Join Robert Vincent, author and illustrator of the acclaimed children’s book, “From the Pocket of an Overcoat,” for a live reading from his book on Saturday, March 23rd, 2023 from 9:00 am to 10:00 am as part of this month’s Wags Kids Paws & Pajamas literacy program, and in celebration of the book’s two-year anniversary. Based on a true story, “From the Pocket of an Overcoat” is a tale about an affable black cat, Max Buckles, and how he finds himself a new home by moving from the cozy overcoat pocket of a homeless woman in the city, to the country with Farmer Buckles and his other animals, including four dogs. This beautiful, hardcover children’s book reflects upon self-identity, acceptance, animal rescue and pet adoption; www.maxbuckles.com. Vincent’s ongoing mission is to help inspire children to become excited about reading and to support early childhood literacy. Vincent will be donating autographed books to children attending (while supplies last), as well as to the Wags & Walks library.

Children (ages 6-12) are invited to join Wags Kids for Paws & Pajamas, our monthly kids reading and humane education program! The benefits of reading to shelter dogs are praised by educational programs and rescue organizations alike, so we are excited to offer this program to our community.

Wags Kids are encouraged to bring a favorite book or two from home, or they can choose from our library of beloved dog books. After a brief safety orientation and mini-lesson facilitated by our staff, the kids will be paired with a pup to read.

Please note:

  • A parent or guardian must be present. You may join your child for reading time or join us for coffee, tea, and light snacks in the lobby.

Yoga to the Rescue sponsored by FOX’s Animal Control

Join Wags & Walks for Puppy Yoga

generously sponsored by FOX’s Animal Control

Join us Sunday, March 10th, for 8:30 or 9:30am yoga with rescue puppies plus fun giveaways and light bites and beverages at our West LA Adoption Center (2236 Federal Ave. Los Angeles, 90064).

Class will be instructed by rescue advocate and yoga instructor, Kelsey Cook. 100% of ticket proceeds go right back to our life-saving mission!

Register now for $45. Hurry, spots are limited!

The pack is back! An all-new season of FOX’s workplace comedy Animal Control, starring Emmy Award-nominee Joel McHale, premieres Wednesday, March 6th (9-9:30pm ET/PT) on FOX. Catch-up on season one of Animal Control on Hulu or Fox.com!

Animal Control follows a group of local Animal Control workers whose lives are complicated by the fact that animals are simple, but humans are not.

McHale stars as Frank, an opinionated, eccentric Animal Control officer who may not have gone to college but is still the most well-read person in the room. A former cop, Frank tried to expose corruption in his department, but his efforts got him fired, which may explain why he’s so cynical and curmudgeonly. He has an almost superhuman ability to understand animals. Humans...not so much.  In addition to McHale, Animal Control stars Michael Rowland as Fred “Shred” Taylor, Vella Lovell as Emily Price, Ravi Patel as Amit Patel and Grace Palmer as Victoria Sands. Gerry Dee recurs as Templeton Dudge.

Things to note:

  • Please do not bring your 4-legged bestie, we’ll supply the pups.

  • Remember to bring a yoga mat or towel from home.

  • Children ages 12+ are welcome to sign up along with their parent or guardian.

  • Why can’t I bring my young puppy? In light of recent concerns regarding the mystery dog illness circulating, we want to prioritize the health and well-being of all our four-legged friends. While we understand the joy that puppies bring to any gathering, our decision is rooted in a commitment to the safety of all dogs in attendance.

Join us Saturday, October 28th, 9-10am for

Wags Kids Paws & Pajamas!

Wags Kids will enjoy time with adoptable cuties all while learning about the importance of rescue and reading to pups!

This month we have a special treat just in time for Halloween

Storytime with children’s book author, Robert Vincent

Join Robert Vincent, author and illustrator of the acclaimed children’s book, “From the Pocket of an Overcoat,” for a live reading from his book on Saturday, October 28, 2023 from 9:00 am to 10:00 am as part of this month’s Wags Kids Paws & Pajamas literacy program, and in celebration of the book’s two-year anniversary. Based on a true story, “From the Pocket of an Overcoat” is a tale about an affable black cat, Max Buckles, and how he finds himself a new home by moving from the cozy overcoat pocket of a homeless woman in the city, to the country with Farmer Buckles and his other animals, including four dogs. This beautiful, hardcover children’s book reflects upon self-identity, acceptance, animal rescue and pet adoption; www.maxbuckles.com. Vincent’s ongoing mission is to help inspire children to become excited about reading and to support early childhood literacy. Vincent will be donating autographed books to children attending (while supplies last), as well as to the Wags & Walks library. To kick-off the Halloween season, kids are encouraged to dress in festive costumes. 

Children (ages 6-12) are invited to join Wags Kids for Paws & Pajamas, our monthly kids reading and humane education program! The benefits of reading to shelter dogs are praised by educational programs and rescue organizations alike, so we are excited to offer this program to our community.

Wags Kids are encouraged to bring a favorite book or two from home, or they can choose from our library of beloved dog books. After a brief safety orientation and mini-lesson facilitated by our staff, the kids will be paired with a pup to read.
