What would *you* do within this situation?
New neighbors just moved in 3 days ago. They have 2 dogs, a lab and APBT. The APBT is disappeared tied to a tree with a heavy chain, and a 5 gallon bucket for hose down. Im guessing the lab gets to come inside, keep in intellect its between 25-50 degrees
Should I give them a few days to get settled surrounded by ( to see what they will do with him) or just march my well (a)ss right over there and give em a piece of my mind?
Given the fact that the owners the the APBT are your new neighbours, you may want to put the commendable march your (a)*** over on temporary hold, until you call animal control.
If animal control are willing to do something positive to amend the dog's lamentable living conditions then you can avoid what may be an unpleasant confrontation.
~ Is there a breed rescue in your nouns you could call for assistance? ~
As I'm certain you're aware, 50 degrees is dangerous for an APBT to be in for more than an hour. 28 degree is pushing hypothermia for the breed.
They've been there for THREE days- thats more than enough time to attain settled in. If YOU'RE sleeping in the house, your dogs are sleeping in the house, dogs don't require couches and bed to sleep, they just need a floor.
I'd march my glad hindquarters over to my telephone and call animal control NOW. If you're anywhere near where on earth I am, its supposed to drop down to 12 degrees tonight with possible flurries- kiss o' death for any dog vanished outside.
They'll probably give AC some lame excuse about "we lately moved in and we didn't want the dog to get in the way" AC will offer a warning, and that will be it. Wait two days, call again.
Give it a couple of days. It's not acceptable, but just distribute it some time. Then, see if they're breaking any laws and call animal control. They can agreement with the situation. But if they're not, then I would run over to their house and maybe talk to them.
Neither. You probably pay taxes to support, among other things, an Animal Control Officer. Call them.
It sounds very much as if the poor Pittie is not mortal given the bare minimum, which includes adequate shelter, and that constitutes neglect. You may or may not also own a local ordinance against tying or chaining a dog up. let's hope.
Even a visit by the ACO may tell these unmarked neighbors that this is not acceptable behavior, and they may change their ways just because of the attention it have gotten. But you do not want to engage them in a contest you may or may not be able to win - particularly since you do not know who they are. You pay someone official to handle this - consent to them do their job.
Call animal Control it is probably not erudite to start beef with your new neighbors..
You should definitely march your *** right over at hand. from what you said, I guess the dog has no shelter? if he doesnt, that is newly pure negligence and cruelty..Im also guessing APBT means pit bull terrier? these pits have a very short coat!!
Why dont they tie themselves external with barely any clothes and no shelter by themselves and see how they like it?!
That's like totally animal abuse! I would budge over there right now, but ask politly, because if their sick adequate to leave their pets out side in that weather they might just bring their anger out at the dogs.
I know you are mad, but getting in a struggle with the neighbors is never a safe thing to do! They could retaliate against you and your pets. Call Animal Control and agree to them assess the situation. They will not divulge who called, but can handle the situation.
march over there and bring up to date them to bring him in like the lab, or take him to a pound whether u don't want him anymore??????!
I think according to the spca, dogs need some type of shelter for or I conjecture it is considered animal cruelty.
It's really up to you. But if you see no changes in the dogs living condition, I would say-so something or simply call animal control.
Answers: GRRrrrr ! I aversion people who do that to their dogs!! Giving them a piece of your mind will only draw from you into a confrontation and you don't know what kind of people they are or what they might be capable of. Call Animal Control, on a each day basis if you have to, until they rectify this situation.
Talk to them about it first.
Convince them that this is wrong and it can't hold on to going on.
If they don't do anything about it.
Call animal control.
Good luck.
If u have an animal control or nation that help animals i would call them but if not I be start marching!
I'd simply phone animal control. At the very least, the dog needs some type of shelter. (not that I agree next to long term tethering of dogs).
Well...you're so lovely I'm sure they'd delight in a visit from your happy (a)ss! :P
I would go speak to them, and I say that because my husband recently had a gossip with our next door neighbors about their "outdoor" lab, and explained a few things to them in the order of why their dog tore off a piece of the house siding and why he barks incessantly. It could have go bad, but we've actually seen them playing fetch near the dog and *gasp* walking him. Sometimes people are just "dog dumb" and don't know any better. I hope in this overnight case your new neighbors just don't know any better...that pit bull deserves to come inside (he's got a shorter and much smaller amount dense coat than the lab...he can't handle the elements).
Why do people think APBT's are so strong?
I would go talk to them first, and if they don't reorganize then i would call your local shelter.
l'd get your jovial (a)ss over there now, off ya step.
Sounds like that's where he's expected to live, l think they obligation putting straight on a few things, and your just the right person to do it.
Some people simply don't deserve the pleasure of sharing their lives with a furry friend.
March your happy (a)ss over now. It is cold as crap here!
You don't know anything more or less these people. I wouldn't go over there and bring before the court or anything. You don't know what thier reaction will be, and starting a war with the neighbor is other bad. And I wouldn't want to be thought of as the "rude neighbor girl." They are probably very accurate people, but you never know.
Just phone animal control.
i would go motorcade.
