I cried for a week, worried animal control would be showing up, then I called the city and they basically told me to license her to another family member - which I am doing soon - she's still under 6 months old... so I have until then.
So, technically she will be my "dad's dog" who is just over a lot. It would be nearly impossible to prove and in the eyes of the law, it is his dog so what can they really do? Not much.
I really KNOW how you are feeling. So many people are over the limits without even knowing it, and your neighbor seems like a real jerk in my opinion. What I would do is try to license the 3 you are over to other family members... talk to your neighbor... work on the barking, and keep thinking positive!
It will all be okay... and if it comes right down to it, you could always go to court. There have been cases that have been won if it can be proven that the number of animals a city has decided on is an arbitrary number that has no value.
Good luck to you <3 and big HUGS and Happy Birthday!! |
That sounds like your best bet, thats what I've done. Good luck, I'm so sorry you're going through this.
