The goal was to have 800 adoptable animals attend the event, yet as the 17 shelters, including Riverside's Mary S. Roberts Pet Adoption Center, and over 40 rescue groups signed up, one after the other, the tally went way beyond the goal. It now looks as though it will be closer to 1,000 animals. "We picked up a lot more shelters this year," explains Best Friends Los Angeles Programs manager Jen Woodard.Come May 21 and 22, from 11 a.m to 4 p.m. each one of those animals will be strutting their stuff and doing their best to find that special someone. "We're doing everything we can to draw specific attention to the animals," says Jen. As part of those efforts, several celebrities have decided to attend in hopes of shining a little extra spotlight on the animals. Some of the attending celebrities will be Harrison Forbes, Amy Smart, Joanna Krupa, Valery Ortiz, Carrie Ann Inaba, Kristin Bauer, Anna Maria Horsford, Patrick Fabian and Julie Marie Berman.
