The mauling happened about 6:45 p.m. Monday, Oct. 20, along the 25500 block of Minorca Street.
The woman was hospitalized for treatment of bites on her head, arms and stomach, a deputy told a Riverside County Department of Animal Services worker.
"She was walking alone when a dog broke loose from its tether, escaped its yard and attacked the woman, according to a witness," Animal Services spokesman John Welsh said in a written statement.
Her name was not released, and her condition was not immediately available.
The dog is a 1-year-old neutered pit bull, according to the statement. The animal's owner gave permission for it to be euthanized, according to the statement.
