How to fully embrace the spirit of springtime on the first Saturday of the season truly depends on the direction you'd like to go.
Some asparagus for dinner or perhaps a pea pasta would hit the springful spot, as would a walk in your neighborhood, a stroll that may yield a few California poppy sightings, or at least a couple of blooming fruit trees.
But there is a way to connect with the season of hope by bringing hope to a tiny being or two: By volunteering to foster a puppy or kitten through Best Friends Animal Society of Los Angeles.

If you're new to fostering, you don't need to yip, whine, or raise a fretful bark; you simply need to spend some time on the first Saturday of spring at the animal organization's West Los Angeles headquarters.
For that's where a delightful Puppy & Kitten Shower will bloom, with bottle-feeding demonstrations, discussions about socialization techniques, and how to foster a mother and her litter, if that is something you'd like to tenderly try.
"Whether you're a seasoned foster or just curious how to help, this event is the perfect opportunity to learn, connect, and maybe even meet a few adorable furry friends."
