John Arnold, President of the Gentry Estates Neighborhood stopped by to follow up on a dog bite incident in the neighborhood. The incident took place on June 21. Specifically, he inquired about the quarantine process and what that entailed.
Resident of Gentry Park strongly disagrees with the decision not to put the dog down (previous dog attack, dog is now being quarantined in the owner's home). Citizen thinks the dog should be put down.
Brown/white bully mix constantly barks. It has jumped the fence twice already, I am worried one of the young kids in the area will be attacked. This dog is aggressive when inside the fence, not managed or contained properly. Owners have been spoke too by numerous neighbors about their concerns for the behaviors of this animal. They have said it was "rescued" from being a bate dog.
Citizen called to let us know that there is a dead deer in the tree plot on 1700 block of Liberty Dr., across from car dealership, in front of IU Health Southern Indiana Physicians.
4231 W Lilac has a male black cat in danger; at one time I assumed and told the Animal Control Officer Eubanks that "Jack" was ok. He has swollen eye shut, signs of malnourishment and neglect by the owners at 4231 W Lilac; this family appears to be low income and have struggles; they are taking care of this cat; the cat "Jack" is in danger of more neglect and animal cruelty unless, an offcer approaches the family and sees for themself. Since the last time I spoke with Officer Eubanks, Jack the cat has deteriorated drastically. Also, I was unable to place the Momma Tortiose Shell, the good news is that she was not pregnant; she just looked like it. I have placed an ad in the paper hopefully, to seek her a new home. The tortiose momma kitty, I have been feeding, providing medical care and human interaction, she is very sweet but, it afraid to come into my home because she appears to be very afraid of other cats. So, hopefully someone will answer my ad to give her a loving home, she no longer has a cat meow voice, it is gone, she has had some trauma from the last time animal control was not able to pick her up and she was in a cage too long and that traumatized her. Her voice has not returned. Her's eyes show her pain and she loves being held, this is one sweet cat, sadly she will most likely die on my porch or underneath my home. There are not enough people around that care enough about the strays. Thanks to Nadine Eubanks and her perseverance in at least capturing two other strays at my address and getting to the facility for care.

The following complaint was also sent to the city for the trash issue. I am sending it to you about the animal issues mentioned. Thank you ---------------------------------------------- 702 West Allen (rental) 1126 South Fairview 1112 South Fairview (rental) The houses listed above continually have a buildup of trash in their yard. 614 West Allen The yard looks like a junk yard. The continuous supply of trash lying around has attracted pests and dogs to dig in to it. So garbage gets all over the neighborhood. One of the pests that the trash is attracting is skunks. My dog has been sprayed once and I have had a few close calls. This past Saturday a pit bull came out of a large pile of trash and kept barking at me and my infant soon trying to defend his treasure. This is my second complaint about trash in this neighborhood (the first time was just about 702). I wish to stay anonymous about my complaints so I don’t make enemies out of my neighbors, especially the ones that own their houses. So please help me resolve this problem. Thank you, Eric Brown
