If animal control won't come you can also call the police, sheriff etc...I hate to see its a pit because they such an automatic bad wrap...but a loose dog is a loose dog and someone needs to be notified and a record, in the least, needs to be made of how often this dog is running stray...especially if the dog is "menacing" in any form i.e. coming into you garage and tearing stuff up...but ya know for the dog's sake, it could be hit by a car etc...if they don't keep track of their dog and it runs stray wonder if they get it it's vet care: immunizations etc. You always have the option to get a dog out the pound after the initial owner voluntary or involuntary surrender time when it comes eligible and take it to a rescue...you can also contact local rescues to get the dog directly from the pounds and they often do their own beavior testing training-okay this is based on my experience, my local laws...you may want to check yours or at least find out when you attempt to make a report. |
