One in every four people in Los Angeles County owns a dog or a cat, according to local officials. But those furry friends are not welcome in some apartments because many landlords ban pets.

Los Angeles County supervisors on Tuesday approved a motion to declare a state of emergency at Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall, which state authorities have said was unsuitable to house youths because of insufficient staffing and other problems.

The declaration authorizes the Probation Department to hire or move staff to the juvenile hall and offer incentives, like signing bonuses and other benefits.

Supervisors voted 4-1 to approve the declaration. It comes less than a week after the Probation Department blew a state Dec. 12 deadline to move more than 200 youths out of Los Padrinos.
