EL CENTRO, Calif. (KYMA,KECY) - Something more frightening than Halloween is the animals in your local shelter not having a home. October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, that is why the Humane Society is kicking off Pawtober.

All month long all adoption fees will be half off. These efforts are to ensure there is no overcrowding in the shelter.

Each year, approximately 1.5 million shelter animals are euthanized because they have no family to take them in.

Coming up on News 11's Evening Edition, find out how you can help a pet in need.

Gianella Ghiglino

Peruvian-born and LA raised Gianella Ghiglino joins the team from the San Fernando valley. “LA is the place that taught me how to breath and Peru is my breath.” She says she was inspired by the community she grew up in and began documenting her experience through poetry at the age of 7. “I wrote about everything I saw, felt and everything that inspired me.” When she entered High School she joined her school news station and realized that broadcast journalism allowed her to pursue her passion and her purpose all at once. Gianella attended Cal State Northridge and received a Bachelors degree in Broadcast Journalism and a minor in Spanish Broadcast Journalism, and Political Science. She did several internships while in College but most notably interned for PBS’s local LA station for three years. “My purpose is to share my story and of those in my community, my passion is writing.”
