Here in Los Angeles, there are growing concerns about animals in the city's shelters. These shelters are in desperate need of qualified and willing families to adopt these pets, as well as volunteers.
In some cases, up to three canines have been placed into one kennel because there isn’t enough space.
There are more than 1,000 dogs and nearly 600 cats at the six Los Angeles city shelters. There is overcrowding and not enough staff and not enough volunteers and because of that, according to an LA Times investigation, many dogs are going weeks or months without being walked. "There’s always an opportunity to improve, we’re a city shelter, we’re dependent on the budget that’s provided to us," Sibal said.
