"LA Animal Services pets are vaccinated, spayed or neutered, and microchipped," according to the department's website.
The agency said that ahead of the 4th of July holiday, their shelters are packed with dogs who have run away from home, frightened by the loud sounds of fireworks.
They're also encouraging people to sign up to foster lost pets.
We're expecting to start receiving lost pets at our shelters this weekend as 4th of July festivities begin. Apply to become a foster today! Bring your completed application to your nearest LA City shelter, we'll get you set up right away. More info: https://t.co/p14B0NmY2Y pic.twitter.com/H0hyzq4zLT

The funding during the days of free dogs comes from a grant provided by CBS EcoMedia Inc., which utilizes corporate advertising to help nonprofits.
Though adoption fees will be waived, a $20 dog license fee will be applied for L.A. residents.
All six LAAS shelters across the city will be providing the free adoptions.
We're not picking favorites or anything, but Jetson seems like a pretty cool dude.
