LOS ANGELES—Los Angeles Animal Services is asking animal-loving Angelenos to adopt pets from local shelters that are increasingly overwhelmed by a growing influx of medium to large dogs coming under their care, according to officials.
“We have taken measures each month to increase pet adoptions, foster homes, transfers of pets to rescue partners, and pets being returned home,” Annette Ramirez, interim general manager for the animal agency, said in a June 14 statement. “Despite these efforts, the intake numbers continue to outpace community placements.”
