We've been in our new place about a week and were warned the day we moved in by our closest neighbor about two big dogs that run loose at times. He has chickens too and had to move them into an enclosed back yard area in their coop in order to avoid harassment. We've had our first issue with at least one dog today. I have my three girls in their safely enclosed tractor on the unfenced front lawn and the dog circled it and got them all riled up, freaking out. I'm at work, so it's my hubby at home, reporting to me. I've given him the number for the local animal control and asked him to just call them next time he sees the dog. Anyone know if loose dogs are usually picked up by animal control? I'd love for the offending neighbor to have to make a trip to the pound to pay for his dog's release. Perhaps he'll fix his fence before any animals are injured.
We have a little chihuahua and would like to take walks in our neighborhood with her, but I wouldn't be comfortable knowing we might be rushed by a larger dog who might be aggressive toward our little pup. Hopefully this can be resolved quickly. I know lots of folks go round and round about this before resolution occurs. I'll be crossing my fingers for a less involved process.
