spcaLA will be on hand for the event providing helpful hints on the care and raising of animals. spcaLA mascot, "Jefferson," will also be in attendance and will provide photo opportunities for friends, families and children.
"Pacific Park has been gracious in inviting spcaLA to work with them while they recognize our community with the Pacific Wheel celebration," said spcaLA President Madeline Bernstein. "Donations from local businesses, like Pacific Park, are so important because there is no national SPCA or humane society that provides support."
The event is being held to celebrate the last day of the current Pacific Wheel. After 12 years and over 3 million rides the Ferris wheel will be taken down. Pacific Park will be replacing it with an all-new, $1.5 million contemporary Ferris wheel from May 5 through May 22.

There is no national SPCA, parent organization, or umbrella group that provides financial support to spcaLA. Donations run programs and services including Cruelty Investigation, Disaster Animal Response Team, Humane Education, and a variety of shelter services.
