SpcaLA gets help from ABC7 viewers with pet food shortage

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Generous Eyewitness News viewers pitched in to help with a serious pet food shortage at the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals - Los Angeles' animal shelters.

Earlier in the week, spcaLA said their reserve food sheds at many of their shelters were nearly empty due to an increase in the number of animals they're taking in.

Eyewitness news viewers who saw the story have come out in droves to make donations.

The spcaLA sent a photo to Eyewitness News showing food that was dropped off on Saturday alone. Without help, the non-profit says it would have run out very quickly.

SpcaLA goes through about 40,000 pounds of pet food a year at its three shelters and at Long Beach Animal Care Services.

Donations can be made at www.spcala.com.

Unopened pet food donations can be dropped off at any spcaLA location during business hours: 7700 E. Spring St., Long Beach 90815 (562) 570-7722; 12910 Yukon Ave., Hawthorne 90250 (310) 676-1149; 5026 W. Jefferson Blvd., Los Angeles 90016 (323) 730-5300 during business hours.
