A new KPBS investigation uncovers problems within San Diego County's animal shelters, leading to a spike in dog euthanasias.
Last fiscal year, the shelters made the decision to euthanize 426 dogs. That meant canines entering the shelter system had a more than 1-in-10 chance of being put down.
On Midday Edition, we sit down with the journalists behind the investigation to unpack the full story.
Guests:
- Scott Rodd, investigative reporter, KPBS
