I am fed up!! My neighbor across the street fosters dogs all the time but she just leaves them all out in the backyard all day while she’s at work. They are constantly getting out. 2 years ago, she had a St. Bernard that was so mean! It chased and growled at the kids in the block, and at me and my kids. I took video of it and called animal control. It chased animal control back into his truck and he couldn’t do anything. It ended up biting my husbands leg and I took her to court and the DA told her it was not allowed in city limits. Well this dog is back and been getting out again. Today he tried to climb into my backyard and so I called animal control again. They told me how much she helps them with dogs and they didn’t really want to come. I reminded them that if it was anyone else’s dogs they’d come pick them up and give the owner a ticket and she shouldn’t be above anyone else. Also the city limit is 4 dogs and she has 7. How is that even right?! So they must have agreed with me because they came and picked up her dogs. I now have a meeting Monday with the DA again for her violating the court order and bringing the dog back into the city limits. I’m all for helping animals but if you can’t do it properly then you shouldn’t do it at all.

Oh, absolutely not. What if a dog attacked your children?!?! Those dogs don't have more rights than children to safely play in their own yard. She isn't doing them any service letting them roam unsupervised all day, that isn't making them more adoptable and truly fostering. Screw her!

I was so torn on wether I did the right thing today but it is genuinely terrifying and that dog is massive!! Also there are 19 kids just in my one block and I worry about their safety!

I understand. That's truly not okay. If that dog maimed a child no one would forgive themselves, and it was aggressive. We aren't talking about a merely yappy dog who wasn't a danger.

exactly why I ended up calling. I can’t believe they didn’t want to do anything until I told them they do it for everyone else. I’ve been dealing with this for 4 years in total with all her dogs. She’s never even attempted to repair her fence. That’s all I really want.

Do you know the org she fosters for? I would take pics/videos and call them to complain. That’s not the type of housing they want their animals in and absolutely not off leash or in an unsecured back yard.

That’s a great idea! I do know who she fosters for and I have several pictures so I will probably go there Monday! Thanks for the idea
