🐾 MEET ENZO: 120 POUNDS OF PURE, UNFILTERED GOOFINESS! 🧡

This 5-year-old gentle giant may be a big boy, but at heart, he’s an oversized lap dog who has never met a personal space bubble he didn’t want to pop. 😂🐶

Enzo spent his early years as a beloved family dog living with young children, so he already knows a thing or two about being a great housemate. Through no fault of his own, he later entered C.A.R.L.’s rescue program.

His sister Envy has already found her forever home, but Enzo has been patiently waiting over a year for his turn. 🥺🏡 Could his family be out there?

Help us get Enzo’s face in front of the right person by sharing his story! 💙🧡

🐾 Enzo | 5 Years Old

Meet Hennessy! 🐾💙

Looking for a loyal best friend? Hennessy is a 6-year-old, 69-pound sweetheart with a big personality and an even bigger heart. She loves getting pets and belly rubs, splashing around in the water, and retrieving her favorite balls from the kiddie pool. Most of all, she’s ready to find a loving family to call her own.

Hennessy is available for adoption through L.A. Animal Services at the Chesterfield Square/South L.A. Shelter. If you’ve been thinking about adding a furry companion to your family, this affectionate girl could be the perfect match 💙

KTLA Celebrates 30 Years of Fun at Pacific Park 🎡

For three decades, Pacific Park has been part of the Santa Monica Pier experience, creating unforgettable memories for locals and visitors from around the world.

Making waves for a good cause. 🌊

For Nexstar Founder’s Day, the KTLA team teamed up with Heal the Bay in Santa Monica for a day dedicated to giving back. Volunteers helped clean the shoreline, refresh the Heal the Bay Aquarium, and support projects that help create a cleaner, healthier environment for the community.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, worked hard, and helped leave Santa Monica a little brighter than they found it. 💙

Nexstar Founder’s Day is an annual tradition that brings employees together in service to the communities we serve.

The KTLA team spent the day in Santa Monica participating in a beach cleanup and improvement projects at the Heal the Bay Aquarium (). From removing trash along the shoreline to supporting educational spaces that promote ocean conservation, the day focused on caring for our local environment and community.

Thank you to Heal the Bay for partnering with us and to all the volunteers who dedicated their time to the effort. 💙🌊

And just like that, Pride Weekend came to an end in the most glitter-filled way possible. 🌈✨

A perfect ending to a weekend filled with celebration, community, and plenty of sparkle. Shoutout to LA’s very own Wendy Burch, Lindsey Pena, Gene Kang, Erin Myers, and everyone who helped make KTLA’s Pride celebration one to remember.
