spcaLA’s Total Package Pets

Kid Approved


Nothing could be better than a wet nose and a wagging tail for the holidays! But who to choose? spcaLA makes it easy for you to pick the best pet for your family with Total Package Pets! These pets are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and ready to go home. They have been KID APPROVED* or temperament tested by the spcaLA Animal Behavior & Training Department so they’ll make a great addition to your family. spcaLA is open on Christmas Eve day for pick-up which means BIG surprises for your loved ones on Christmas morning!

To make sure your match is a successful one, spcaLA’s Animal Behavior & Training Department will give you and your dog a FREE one hour private training session! One of our trainers will show you the training commands your dog has learned and teach you how you can continue those good behaviors.

Before you head home with your new pet, stop at the spcaLA Marketplace in Long Beach or the South Bay Mini Mart for pet supplies like collars, leashes, kitty litter supplies, food, treats, and toys. Use your Adoption Rewards coupons for extra savings.

Take a look below at our Total Package Pets and visit them at the shelter they are located. Still looking? spcaLA has shelter pets to fit all kinds of families – stop by one of our pet adoption centers or check out our full list of adoptable pets online.

  1. pitbull mix

    Popeye (11-04651)

    2 years-old male pit bull mix

    I'm an active, fun, and sweet guy! I love other dogs, especially small ones. I even like cats! I do best with my Gentle Leader collar which keeps me from pulling on the leash. I graduated from a spcaLA basic obedience class and I'm currently participating in the Teaching Love and Compassion program where I'm being trained by the kids in the at-risk youth program. I'd love to meet you!

  2. MinPin Mix

    Gunther (11-04972)

    7-years-old male Miniature Pinscher

    I am small but mighty! I love being held and petted. I’ve worked with the Teaching Love and Compassion kids and they taught me all kinds of neat tricks. I love being around the kids! I would love to meet you and see if we are a good match.

  3. Terrier Mix

    Dino (12-00786)

    1-years-old male Terrier Mix

    I am a sweet boy! My owner had to give me up because they could not afford to care for me. I love kids and I know how to play ball, roll over, and sit. I am good with cats and other dogs. Did I mention I like car rides? Wheeeee!!

  4. pit bull terrier

    Polly (12-01223)

    1-years-old female Pit Bull Terrier

    In my temperament test, I showed excellent impulse control and a great personality. I would be good for a home with kid and a first time owner. I have a medium activity level so daily walks and play time will suit me just fine. Because of my coat, my grooming costs will be pretty low. Just daily brushes and regularly bathing and I will be content. (Polly needs to be spayed before she goes home so please allow for extra time.)

  5. chihuahua mix

    Winnie (12-01269)

    10-years-old female Chihuahua mix

    I'm a super sweet girl! I participated in spcaLA’s summer camp and am learning more obedience in the TLC program where I'm being trained by at-risk youth. I enjoy daily walks and would be great for a first time owner. I love people so come meet me! (Winnie needs to be spayed before she goes home so please allow for extra time.)

  1. DSH

    Olliver (12-01015)

    2-years-old male Domestic Short Hair

    I am a total love bug! I am quite playful and love to be held and carried around. I would be great with toddlers or really young kids. I sleep on my back so being upside down doesn’t bother me a bit!

    Muddy (11-05325)
