Amoeba Hollywood is partnering up with Beagle Freedom Project for a Dog Adoption Event on Sunday, October 7th from Noon-4pm.

Beagle Freedom Project rescues beagles used in animal experimentation in research laboratories. Beagles who have spent their entire lives in labs used for research are usually killed after they have served the purpose of the agency, facility or company. Beagle Freedom Project connects directly with these research labs and is able to remove and transport healthy, adoptable beagles to place them in loving, forever homes.

BFP will have some of their amazing, adoptable dogs on site at Amoeba Hollywood on October 7. All dogs will be spayed or neutered, micro-chipped and vaccinated.

Come down and meet your new best friend and find out how you can make a difference in the lives of these kind and special animals. 

Beagle Freedom Project is a service of Animal Rescue, Media & Education (ARME)  a nonprofit advocacy group created to eliminate the suffering of all animals through rescue, public education and outreach. 

For more information about volunteering, fostering or donating to the Beagle Freedom Project please visit: beaglefreedomproject.org.

Wanna show some love to the homeless cats and dogs at your local shelter and save $3 off Amoeba Music at the same time? Amoeba Hollywood is collaborating with Los Angeles County Animal Shelters to collect much-needed supply items for the care and comfort of homeless animals in our community. Animal Shelters in LA are in desperate need of donations due to of lack of government and community funding. These trends are likely to continue until the economic situation improves, but we can help! Donations, food, blankets, and cleaning supplies can go a long way to help to sustain homeless, abandoned and unwanted animals.

For each one shelter item donation, we will give you a $3 off coupon to use on any purchase at Amoeba Music! It's that easy. Bring in an old towel, a can of cat/dog food or a cleaning product and we'll give you three bucks!

The Animal Shelter Donation Drive runs through
Monday, October 8th.

We can help change the heartbreaking situation of needing to euthanize healthy animals because of a simple lack of donations and resources. Stand up for underdogs everywhere by spreading the word that shelter animals need our help! And please remember to always spay and neuter your pet!

For more information on helping homeless cats and dogs or if you are interested in adopting a companion animal visit: www.laanimalservices.com. 

Stay tuned for more animal education and adoption coverage in October, when Amoeba Hollywood will be teaming up with the Beagle Freedom Project.

On Saturday, September 1, 2012 we had a command performance from our good friend, mister funny Jason Boggs, as our guest auctioneer! Though the store was pretty quiet due to the weather and FYF Fest, Jason came out of the gate with the quips and the patter and started off the bidding with a signed Sarah Silverman DVD box set (from her recent signing) and that went for $20 BUCKS. And we were off...

The rest of the highlights were:

• Coffee cup and Brew Coffee gift certificate - $10.00
• DJ Lance Rock figure and Amoeba VIP in-store pass - $15.00
• FYF Fest passes - $35.00 (such a deal)
• Trader Joe's gift certificate and Star Trek lunchbox - $48.00
• Animal Collective at the Hollywood Bowl tickets - $45.00
• Record Store Day grab bag and Marilyn Monroe cup - $35.00
• Wilco tickets - $45.00
• Smashing Pumpkins signed canvas and Smog messenger bag - $65.00 (!!!)

All together, Jason was able to inspire the people to bid and we raised $320.00 for Doctors Without Borders - which when doubled is $640.00 - going to a very worthy organization which continues to do amazing work. Another successful auction Saturday at Amoeba Hollywood.
