Echo Park is for (animal) lovers: Tonight!

/0 Comments/in /by

See you tonight at 7:00 pm at Barlow Hospital. We have invited invited representatives of animal hospitals, businesses and other pet service entities from around the neighborhood to chat about animal welfare and services.

What do you do when you find a stray animal? How much is microchipping? Where are low-cost spay/neuter services available?

Our town hall meetings are open to the public – so bring your neighbors!

Echo Park Town Hall: Animal welfare and services
TONIGHT! Thursday, January 9 at 7:00 pm
in Williams Hall at Barlow Hospital
