ROBERTSON BLVD—Kiehl's is holding a pet adoption this weekend, but we wanted to give you a head's up so you can use the next two days to pet-proof your pad. If you adopt a pet, you're getting more than a cuddly friend for life: Each customer who adopts leaves with a Kiehl’s gift box. Kiehl’s customers are invited to donate to Voice For The Animals Foundation, a Santa Monica-based animal advocacy organization. (And you'll get a gift, so it's a total win/win). The event is Saturday, from noon to 3pm. 100 North Robertson Blvd. (310-860-0028) [Racked Inbox]
