- Many Southern California animal shelters are way over capacity and officials are now pleading for the public's help. MORE: abc7.com/animal-shelters-over...
As a former animal shelter worker, its heart breaking
Every day I wanted to bring them all home. Even though I worked at a no kill shelter, sometimes when we faced over crowding that many animals leads to sickness and then they have to be put down unfortunately. Please people get your animals fixed especially cats and always consider adopting rather than shopping for a animal. And animals do realize that your saving them when you adopt them from a shelter
So sweet! Thank you so much for your service as a shelter worker. 🧡🧡🧡
🎯
I would not be able to work with a no kill shelter that’s all I’m going to say about it
It's a shame how people will spend THOUSANDS of $ to have the latest designer breed like French bulldogs and labradoodles when there are these dogs that need homes. Says a lot about our society, unfortunately 😔
No it dosent. I’m sure your saying that on a 1000 dollar iPhone.
They at least have the money to take them to the vet, give them a good home, buy them decent food for medical issues they may have. Not everyone has to "rescue" a dog just because others were irresponsible and did not spay or neuter them. So many times I say "Oh, what a cute dog" and the person says "Thanks, I rescued her" uhh, okay.. It's so awkward.
your not seeing the bigger picture buddy, those people that paid thousands for their frenchie are taking good care of them, they have no doing in this, be mad at the folks who get these large regular breeds that only keep them as pups then when they are big they dont want them
Most of the dogs in shelters are pitbulls and they're cheap for a reason. Never seen a normal looking person own one. They're always trailer trash cigarette smoking obese hoarders with disabilities.
🎯
A lot of apartment buildings don't allow pets making it difficult to adopt.
That's because people who live in a one bedroom apartment get a husky because they loved the blue eyes .and then leave it alone for 12 hours where it is miserable and barks and barks all day long.
Right, I definitely wouldn't want too hear someone's dog barking all day
I agree, that's the biggest issue many potential adopters face. Unfortunately, many apartment buildings, which houses the majority of LA's population, do not allow pets, especially dogs. We live in a small apartment and we were lucky with our Malinois, but seeing all these Huskies, Shepherds, Mals breaks my heart 💔 All beautiful and wonderful dogs that were unfortunately in the wrong hands with incompetent owners who didn't do research on the breed and probably supported back yard breeding
Yes vote and call your city officials to make it so that apartments have to allow pets. If u get an emotional support certificate for around one hundred dollars online they have to by law accept your pet. Even no pets allowed buildings have to.
@@ksmith2852rarely do people do that truly.
All those aholes buying pets during the pandemic and now abandoning them should be fined out of their yahoo. Absolutely disgusting.
hard to fine people who are bad with money
Yup....they were nothing but, narcissist ....
Yes 😢
Heartbreaking 💔😭. I have a dog I took off the street. He was about 6 weeks old 😞 when I found him. 10 years later he's still loved and spoiled 😁
Thank you for getting the word out about this important issue. The best I can do today is send a small donation, which I just did. If everyone helps a little, it will help the animals a lot. So many beautiful and sweet animals, I do wish I could adopt one or 2! 💕🐈⬛🐈💕🐕🦺🦮💕
This is heartbreaking they do not deserve this the city’s should provide more funding to improve adoption services vett people who want to adopt so there is a smaller return rate, provide clean facilities food training etc..for God sakes most of these cities are handing out crack piles ! How much does that cost? Animals should have rights too they serve in wars for us and are service dogs for the disabled they give unconditional love. I pray God guides them and they find the love they deserve ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼it truly breaks my heart
They pay people to go around and hand them Crack pipes , condoms and needles . , Up to one free needle a day in some places.
This is so sad 😢 what ever happened to the love
It takes a lot more than love to raise a dog. They require a lot of care and that care is expensive.
the adoption fee is what happened
The husky 😍 ❤
❤️🙏
If these places didn't charge $700 for a dog, and charged a reasonable$250-$300, they might get rid of them faster.
I checked online at my Delaware SPCA for dog adoptions. I was flabbergasted at the prices they wanted to charge. Not to mention if a dog wasn't neutered they wouldn't let you adopt it. They wanted $700 PLUS another $150 for neutering before you could take the poor thing home. I mean come on.
I know right bro, “so much for adoption” might as well call it “dogs for sale”.
How are they trying to do a good thing when they charge $750 per animal like cmon now.
Maybe that is what the Delaware SPCA charges but the City of Los Angeles’ adoption fees range from $17 (Guinea pig) to $122 (Adult dog).
@@samuraiman7777 You could afford to pay 700 for adoption fees and you could afford regular vet services but you may not be able to afford 10,000+ for surgery unless you're rich. That's what happened to me. In the US, 60% of people live paycheck to paycheck. As you can see, there are way too many animals without homes so we can't just wait for the wealthy to step up. And who are you to say who deserves what based on income? People don't deserve to care for pets based on wealth, they do because they do the best they can for them.
@@samuraiman7777 broski, you eat dogs so you can just be quiet now
Complain to your city leaders please. Almost all the money from the SPCA anyways doesn't even go towards the animals only one percent does. Research it if you don't believe this. They spend all the money on advertising so they get more donations to keep their top management living high on the hog. Yep.
LA is not dog friendly especially if your in an apartment. This is so sad
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Many “nonprofit“ rescue agencies will charge you much more than the County’s animal shelters. They just make it much easier for you by putting clear pictures of the pets that they have on their website and organizing information and proper procedures on how to take care of your new pet. It’s hard to beat the County’s shelters on price though.
People don't have money for dog food, vets and alot of time
sad adopt don't buy from puppy mills
he110, but mills often offer people the type of pets that they REALLY want, not generic mutts.
@@valuecalc ya but the moms get depressed cause they take away the puppies way to early. then expect them to pump out more puppies cause its business. other shelters have cuter dogs.
I tried to adopt from LA shelter it was goin to cost $70 for a home evaluation, $250 relocation fee and $800 for the dog that wasn't fixed so an extra $90 to get her neutered. It's just ridiculous
Dang those look like car payments lol, what type of breed?
@ramsongewargis8736 They dnt even say the type breed they just give some generic description of the dog. The one I wanted looked like a German shepherd mixed with something else, he was like 7 yrs old but there not exactly sure cuz he was a rescue... oh I didn't even mention that there's a follow-up home visit that u have to pay for as well ($70). It's just to much hassle
u might as well adopt a child, it wd b cheaper then it could look after you when its adult!
The shelters are always crowded!
I'd adopt another one but my place is too small.
People's economy suffer. It triggers a domino effect to everything else. People who used to be able afford a small yard, now can't.
SPCA’s need to start building compounds and put dogs that get along with dogs together in it, u can do this with cats too. Check out Takis shelter, the farm.
This heartbreaking
I would free them if I could. I heart the animals
500.00 bucks to spay a cat. Many of these private vets are such a contributer to this problem.
My 30pound dog food bag went from $30 to $52. Plus I have to mix in cans, meat etc
Pick the dogs that get along with each other, to..put together ❤so sad there is not enough room , Please make room for these Gourgous sweet deserving dogs ! ❤🙏
Make adoption affordable! Plus, provide affordable veterinary services for every adopted animal. Then, see the problem go away.
Adoption rates in L.A. are affordable and paying for veterinarian services will never happen. People will milk it because it's free like they do everything else thats free
Things are not the simple
Eren just start the rumbling please
Breeding yards are some of the freaking problems of overpopulation of dogs. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
SOME HUMANS ARE SO CRUEL TO ABANDOND THIS ANGELS SO MUCH LOVE TO GIVE ,,,INCREDIBLE ,,,NOT COMPASIÓN AT ALL
I’m sorry, but what the hell is wrong with Southern California? Why do you not have decent senators and congressman in that state helping all these animal shelters out? This is a damn shame and beyond ridiculous.
My brother is a vet assistant and he just had to put down a six month old puppy for biting twice, once after being rehomed. It is sad that for whatever reason both owners could not provide what it needed, but it is better off to put them down than to keep them in a cage forever or adopt them out to someone unable to work with their special needs .
No for whatever reasons the owners didn't care to learn how to train a puppy right, it's not very hard. Never blame the dog , it's always the owners faults. That's sick that aplace would put down a six month old puppy like that knowing with the right people easily it could be an awesome dog. What place would do this? This should be known and complained about.
Inno way is it better to murder them period. People are lazy and too accepting of this. You need to speak out for animalsand not accept this
@@user-lg8fv1dg3y we euthanize millions of animals a year. If they turned it away someone else would have done it or it would have languished in a cage until it died as the “biting dog.” Shelters have very strict adoption requirements for biting dogs so not just anyone can adopt them. You sound very young. It IS hard to train a dog. It’s very costly , time consuming, and some dogs have higher energy levels or trauma making it harder. It’s just more humane to euthanize than to torture with a low quality life . Also, I think you should know… once my aunt drowned a litter of kittens as a teenager . My mom saw her do it one by one . Their dog also starved to death in the backyard . I’ve had more than one friend lock up their pets in a closet. Animal services does not care cause I called them. There are worse things happening to animals right now than having a peaceful , quick death.

Funny how so many people on here have the solution to a problem they really don't know anything about. None of you know the real reason these places end up like this or that a lot of these animals end up here because the owners have no choice.
So many homeless animals, and homeless people. Something is very wrong
Vets do not help with this issue. It cost me 1600.00 bucks to spay my dog I saved off the street. Not enough low cost spay and neuter clinics.
Many years ago they gave all the blame on Hollywood for shelter overcrowding. Everyone wanted their own Pongo, Air Bud, or Bethoven.
Who do you blame these days? RUclips? Im looking at you talking husky.
Amen Contact Asher in the USA. Same will be glad to help
Chinese: We'll take them all!!! 🤤
Why can't our legislative in Louisiana do more to help those shelters not just kill those animals
Re:Dogs 85% pits and pit mix.
All shelters, all states.
Overflowing with the dangerous breeds.
There's other breeds way more dangerous than pits. The media is the reason people like you feel this way.
Nope. Lol😅
It is disgusting how irresponsible humans are. There needs to be consequences. This is inhumane.
I dog sat an evicted pbull and when I tried to surrender her they told me they had max occupancy and I should find a fam to adopt her . I almost tied her to a tree Infront of the dog shelter but her fleas went away never returned so I kept her
It's like to me yall should give them to familys or for free to a person's that would love them and care for them because there are many people who would love to have a pet but just can't afford to buying a pet
If you can't afford to acquire a pet then how in the same h3ll are you going to be able to afford to KEEP a pet??
Food
Veterinarian
Pet deposit at the rental property
Bed, toys, treats
If done right pets are almost as expensive as having a kid these days.
Shelters usually have free dog weekends when an outside party donates money. And dogs are nowhere near as expensive as a kid
Now I feel guilty for getting my dogs through breeders
Meh, it's your money and breeders have to make a living. Whatever.
You’re part of the problem. Thank you for noticing that.
You think Westminster show dogs are bought from a shelter???? Nope!! And no one ever shames them
Don’t be. You’re under no obligation to appease anyone.
THEY CHARGE TOO MUCH TO ADOPT
IF IT LITERALLY WAS FREE ID ADOPT TWO TO THREE CATS AND ONE DOG
If you cannot afford to adopt, then you can’t afford a pet. Simple as that unfortunately.
IF THEY'RE OVERCROWDED AND ARE PLEADING FOR HELP THEN GIVE THEM AWAY FOR FREE
THATLL DEFINITELY CLEAR UP ROOM
Why are they charging to adopt ? Make it easier on us so we can adopt these poor fur babies
Because if you cannot afford to adopt them, you cannot afford to have a pet. They need to go to the vet. They need licenses. They need shots. They get sick. Having a pet is very expensive. Most likely the reason most of them ended up in the shelter.
corrupted system! they help the ppl who can’t afford to have kids by giving them welfare section 8 and all this help . But they can’t help the animal shelters ….
@@ksmith2852 the money that theyll spend on adoption fee would cover the vet, shots and etc…
@@ksmith2852Bingo! This has to be the most intelligent and informative post on this topic!
stop giving licenses to breeders to breed...duh, u should be in jail for doing so
And people keep breeding them buying them from pet shops it's completely unfair
Here’s one thing our esteemed (haha) democrat leaders can do-enact a law in which landlords can’t prohibit cats and dogs on properties. Okay, charge a little more for a security deposit, but let animals have homes. Even set a limit, perhaps one dog and or one cat, but it really would be a great start AND tenants would be happier, too!
Yes!!!
Animal Shelters
AKA
Dog shelters
Just put the poor puppies to sleep Jesus
NOOOOOO
@@babynieve9612 There are worse things than death. Being in a kennel 24 hours a day for many months is cruel to an animal.
@@ksmith2852 They still have a chance
I hope no one in your life gives up on you. Even you have a chance to be better.
@@AshleyAcademy Fake animal enthusiast
PLEASE adopt a pet instead of paying a breeder for a designer animal. 😢
