Because of what one pet owner was told by this woman, today he surrendered two of his dogs to animal control. You know what that means in Union County: Gas Chamber.
If anyone knows who is doing this, we want to know. Don't try to stop this woman, just get her description and vehicle tag number. We will turn it over to the Monroe Police.
It is important for everyone to know that in less than two weeks the following has been accomplished:
1. Dog houses are in the process of being given to those in need at no charge.2. The fence company was out today measuring for pens for those in need at no charge.
3. The Humane Society of Union County will spay/neuter dogs over 40 pounds at no charge.
4. The Monroe Police have brought shavings to dogs in need at no charge.
5. There is a volunteer who has been visiting the pet owners in the company of Animal Control or the Monroe Police. This volunteer doesn't go alone, is there solely to HELP and has been well received by the pet owners. A dog owner will never be told to give up their pets. Never.
6. One Pit puppy was willingly given to rescue. An adoption is in progress.
We are making great progress. The dogs are getting helped. We do not want a rogue "do-gooder" to spoil relations and stir up trouble in the community; the pets will suffer.
Thank you Moderator for posting this latest blog.
ReplyDeleteA lot of leg work, time & energy has been expended over a short period of time and great headway has been done. Let's not sever the good relations we have made with these pet owners, as well as the good use of the cooperative official agencies that are aiding us to make it possible. This is not easy work. For someone to come along and jeopardize our public relations at this time, could set back all of the hard work that has thus far been laid out. If anybody knows of this person(s), please contact the authorities with any information immediately so we may go forth in our mission to helping helpless dogs by being their voice, and not creating more harm to an already harmful situation for these innocent creatures.
Every pet owners should know and understand the Animal Ordinances, and any other sections of the Code of Ordinances that pertain to pets and animals. In fact, it is part of being a responsible pet owner to know those ordinances. That way if someone tells you this or that, you will know if it's true or not...before you do something stupid or end up in court. And I know from experience that even the police and AC don't always know the ordinances as they should, although I partly blame their superiors for that.
