I thought for sure the OLD AB1634 called for spay/neuter of ALL dogs at four months unless they are being shown, bred with license, working...
If this is really a three strikes and you have to alter your pet rule, that I do not support because if a dog is allowed to run loose on purpose three times, the dog should be taken away...forget altering it. I think if a dog is caught loose three times without a good explanation, the owner needs to sign over the dog. Dogs pack making them potentially dangerous. I fully support leash laws for the safety of the dogs and humans. Spay and neuter after three offenses may help prevent unwanted litters but there is still no excuse for allowing any dog to run loose like that. |
The problem with taking the dogs away, where do you suggest the dog goes? Realistically, do you think it would be adopted? If a home can't be found should it be euthanized? Should a dog be punished because the owner isn't responsible. I hate the fact we are killing all these dogs, but what else can we do with them? Isn't spaying and neutering better than death? Before Joey was neutered he frequently tried to run out the front door, you just couldn't trust the little guy, after he was fixed, I can open the door, and he'll just stand there. People seem to think we are dealing with lots of wonderful people whose dogs accidentally got loose; this is just not the case.
