Bring Kala Home for the Holidays

At this time of the year one hears the expression "it is better to give than to receive." Why not do both and adopt Kala? She is a wonderful 3-year-old female pit-bull mix with a mild disposition who desperately needs to leave the shelter environment.

Although she arrived as a stray, the shelter volunteers say that she is one of the most magnificent girls ever! She is sweet, gentle and beautiful. Doesn’t she look stunning in her holiday sweaters?

She gets along with cats and other dogs, walks well on a leash and enjoys the company of all the folks she meets. She is simply the nicest dog you might ever get to know. Don’t let her breed put you off, because she doesn't display any of the stereotypes associated with pits.

However, this sad girl is suffering emotionally, and a private veterinarian has diagnosed her with kennel depression.

If you are looking for a mellow, awesome pet, here is your chance.

Due to the holidays, the will close at 3 p.m. Saturday.

To choose Kala, request ID A3867221. Occasionally, pets have already been adopted. To check availability, call 818-991-0071 or visit the .
