Celebrate National Puppy Day with our Puppy Palooza pet adoption event

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- March 23 is National Puppy Day, and we are celebrating a little early with our bi-annual Puppy Palooza adoption event.

Friday morning starting at 5am on Eyewitness News, we'll be featuring 25 adoptable pooches from spcaLA.

Puppies will be available for adoption on Friday at 11am at the spcaLA Pet Adoption Center, 5026 W. Jefferson Blvd. in Los Angeles.

The adoption fees for the puppies are waived, thanks to Howard's Appliances and Second Chance Mission!
