Workers say the attack spotlights the growing crisis of overcrowding at local shelters because of illegal breeding, COVID returns, housing restrictions and situations like this.
Concern about overcrowding at LA animal shelters is growing after an employee was mauled by a dog while on the job.Kennel supervisor Leslie Corea was attacked by a pitbull mix on May 31 after opening the dog's cage for a rescue group. The dog isn't new to the bars of the Harbor shelter and neither is Corea… she's spent 24 years at the city shelter. Her right leg was severely damaged. She'll now undergo extensive physical therapy and unfortunately, the dog will be euthanized.
These are the dogs that have actual behavior and then people can actually trust," said animal rescuer and activist Shira Scott Astrof. The department says it has the capacity to safely and humanely care for about 800 dogs at a time, but currently there are nearly twice that and about 50 new dogs coming in every day. L.A.
