File a criminal complaint if this psycho shot a deadly weapon through your fence. Then file a civil suit against him with the justice of the peace for vet bills, the price you paid to buy, license, vaccinate, groom, bathe, and feed the dog every year. In other words attach a spread sheet.
The pitbull has been seen across the street and been seen chasing the local feral cats. We have children in the area as well I worry about. At best the dogs are caged most the day but let loose to run free multiple times a day with no fences.
This neighbor lets/encourages her dog to... View More

Take photos of the dog crapping in your yard, running loose, chasing cats, chasing kids, chasing dogs. THEN file a complaint with animal control.

BUILD A FENCE. Yes the owners of the dogs are responsible for the tickets.

Call Animal Protection and press animal cruelty charges. Then contact the Justice of the Peace and file suit against the gun toting psycho. Then build a fence.

I'm a disabled veteran on chemotherapy and being able... View More
The pit bulls aren't in cages or on a leash. My dog wandered near my neighbors yard and their 2 pit bulls tore my dog up. Who can I contact for this? What do I do?

1) Make a criminal complaint with Sheriff's and Animal Control.
2) Put up fence for any dogs you may own in future.
3) Take pictures.
4) File suit with the Justice of the Peace for purchase price for your dog and any vet bills.

The dog belongs to the jail bird's heirs (kids, spouse or parents). If you don't know who they are, then take the dog to get shots and a license in your name and keep the receipts.

Tell them no, get the dog licensed and shots, try to get them to admit in person or on the phone that they gave you the dog, and record it.
He’s been there for five days and they won’t give him back. How do I get him back

If he's your dog, then of course you can get vaccination and license records from your Veterinarian or the Humane Society and a receipt for purchase or adoption from the ASPCA that you can take to the Sheriff's Office to file a theft complaint. Then you can build a fence around your yard
Is fenced in with an approx 4’ fence that has multiple holes and imperfections. The dogs are frequently left outside unaccompanied for long hours/full days regardless of weather (storms/heat/etc). I have to bring my small breed dog right past their fence to go into my yard to do his business. The... View More
