LOS ANGELES—The Los Angeles City Council June 4 declined to accept a donation of two police service dogs, and sent the request back to committee after one council member raised concerns about the company that provided the animals.

“I don’t have a problem with donating dogs to the police. That’s not an issue,” Councilman Bob Blumenfield said at Tuesday’s meeting. “But what I’m concerned about is that this company, called the Adlerhorst International, is the name of the Nazi bunker used by Adolf Hitler during World War II.”
