LOS ANGELES—Animal rescue groups are sending out urgent pleas for potential adopters for unwanted animals at the Southeast Area Animal Control Authority (SEAACA), where more than 50 animals are in danger of euthanasia due to overcrowding.

The animal shelter was formed in 1975 to serve Downey, Norwalk, and Pico Rivera, but has since expanded to encompass 14 cities that are not served by Los Angeles County Animal Care. Its shelter at 9777 Seaaca Street in Downey is frequently overcrowded with the burden of serving communities with a combined population of approximately 900,000 people.
