Podcast Episode: What is Happening in the LA Animal Shelters?
Aleksandra Schiffer, president and founder of the Los Angeles non-profit I Stand with My Pack joins me to chat about the animal shelter crisis that is happening in Los Angeles right now. With a record number of dogs — upwards of three times the normal rate — being relinquished, abandoned, and dumped, shelters are at capacity. Some shelters are housing as many as five dogs in kennels made for one, and the euthanasia rate is quickly rising simply because they do not have the space or resources to care for these dogs. We chat about some of the reasons behind this crisis and what really needs to change to help these animals.
