The Anza woman who was mauled by three dogs Saturday is on life support, family members and friends say.

Angela Johnson is being treated at Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Springs, according to GoFundMe pages established to assist Johnson and her husband, Rey.

Their son, Tim Platt, wrote that the dogs severed an artery that caused a stroke.

Angela Johnson was hanging laundry on her Mitchell Road property when she was attacked by three pit bulls or pit bull mixes, Riverside County Animal Services said.

Riverside County sheriff’s detectives believe the dogs were not intentionally set on Johnson but are continuing their investigation, Lt. Zach Hall said Wednesday, Dec. 19. The dogs’ owner violated the county leash law, which could result in a citation, Animal Services spokesman John Welsh said. It will be up to the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office to determine what charges, if any, are filed.

A hearing was held Wednesday on whether the dogs should be euthanized, Welsh said. The hearing officer has 10 days to make a decision.

As a result of the attack, Animal Services made a sweep of the Anza area on Wednesday looking for stray dogs.

“This is something we have been dealing with for a long time,” Welsh said. “In light of what happened last week, we thought it was important.”

Animal Services sent 10 officers and eight trucks to the area. Officers picked up four strays and issued seven citations. The tickets could be for failing to microchip, license or vaccinate the dogs, Welsh said. He said those totals were small and attributed the number in part to a sweep three months ago that he hopes made an impression on dog owners.
