I would not add another dog to this mix at this time. Unless you get one from a shelter, you are talking about a young dog, and either way the puppy loses. If he tries to protect himself, he could turn aggressive himself. (then you would be the neightbor with the aggressive dog) or worse case, his gets torn up by the neighbors dog. Neither situation would be good for the dog. I think the problem needs to be fixed with the neighbor. You can take legal action against her, But you do need it documented. I would send registered letters to her, animal control and the local police dept. Then with each infraction of her allowing the dog to roam. Document it on paper and by calling the animal control.. If you can find out who she has her homeowners insurance with, they will make her remove the animal or cancel her homeowners. Certain breeds are not allowed to be on the property due to risk factors. I don't recall as I type this what breed her is, but anything that the jaw locks when attacking is on the list. If may be enough when you have to take her to court over your car and this last attack on your cats. (I'm sure she won't pay you) however, you might get the assistance of the police in getting her homeowners information because you will probally have to go thru them for your car repair. If the dog was in anyway agressive towards you, I believe the law is on your side of having it removed from her home. Animal contol should take this over, it not I would go to court stating she is putting you in harms way. But the dog would have had to growl or act agressive toward a human. Good Luck and if all of this fails I would get a large speaker pointed toward her window and something like an air horn and I would sound it off, letting her know get your dog and it may run him off to.
