    Which Way, L.A.?

    Are LA Shelters Any Closer to a 'No Kill' Policy?

    There's a new facility in West LA with a spa-like feel, including a library as well as private rooms where visitors can get to know prospective housemates.  The potential boarders are dogs and cats, and the facility is the Pet Adoption Center run by an animal welfare coalition called No Kill Los Angeles . KCRW's Saul Gonzalez paid a visit.
