Animal Control & Neglected Pets

591 W Ladd AVE

Case Date:
1/5/2023

I am a teacher at Binford Elementary. I work with a student who lives in this home. While over winter break, our school skills development instructor went into the home. This individual stated there is a dog with a "visibly broken leg." When our skills instructor requested information on the dog, the family changed the subject. In the home are two parents, three sons and one daughter. All three sons have autism that result in physically abusive explosions. I am the teacher of the oldest son who is unhealthily obsessed with his cat. He makes disturbing comments about the cat and students have said he has made sexual advances towards the animal. I have never heard anything directly from this student about the advances, but he does make comments that are concerning about his love for the cat. The skills instructor stated the house was very messy and had a terrible odor from the inside, possibly due to the animals inside the home. I am unsure as to how many pets there are.

Animal Control & Neglected Pets

2611 E 2nd St, Bloomington, IN 47401, EE. UU.

Case Date:
12/30/2022

I want to report a potential animal neglect situation. From my house, I hear the cry of a dog, at different times of the day, for several weeks. The noise comes from apartment number 19 (2611 E. 2nd St). The crying is mostly during business hours, so I'm assuming it's because he's locked up alone, and suffering from some separation anxiety. I have reported this to the landlord who has contacted the owner, however, there is no change in the situation. I would like to request that this situation be investigated, and verify that the animal is in good physical and psychological condition.

1908 S Oakdale DR

Case Date:

There is a woman who walks her dog off-leash around Hidden Hills and Oakdale Square apartment complexes. This woman lives in Hidden Hills (Building "A", unit 1908 maybe) and walks her dog daily around 7:45am-9am then in the evening around 3pm-5pm. I know this because I often see her when going to/from work. Her dog has approached me multiple times and it doesn't seem friendly. Regardless, I'm not only afraid of dogs, I'm also allergic. I've asked the owner to get her dog when it gets close to me, but it's not well trained & she has to call it multiple times before it leaves me alone. I've suffered allergic reactions because of her dog. The woman looks to be in her 30s, brown hair, white, and might wear glasses. Myself and other residents have complained to Sarah, the Hidden Hills property manager, but she refuses to do anything about it. Walking a dog off-lease is against their policy and it's illegal unless the dog is in a dog park. I'm reporting this because I'm afraid to walk around my apartment complex because I know there could be an off-leash dog out there and it may or may not be aggressive. I would ask that you send someone to the Oakdale Square/Hidden Hills complex during the timeframes I listed to catch her in the act. I don't know if she needs to be informed of the law, fined, or have her dog taken away. This has been happening since i moved in and no one is doing anything about it. I need your help.

Residents of Apt K6 in Meadow Park Apartments have 2 small dogs. In response to their barking they have been seen kicking at their cage and grabbing them hard enough to cause them to yelp painfully. I hate to think what happens behind closed doors. In addition, I think they force the dogs to use the bathroom in their cage, as multiple bags of dog poop have been piled outside their front door.

3409 S McDougal Ct Bloomington, IN Also a second family location, but where is unknown Approx 700 animals in the house and now a pregnant goat moving in. Recent comment by Alex (owner) that it is borderline cruelty because of warrens structure and stacked cages because there is no room. Rabbits are taken in from all over, funds raised, neglected while there (received many without nails ever trimmed and terribly undersocialized, and communicable disease hidden), and sent out. She’s only adopted out 5 rabbits this year. No IRS filings since 2019, but took in approximately half-million in funds this year. Websites push fundraising more than anything else as a non-profit. If you ask her a question about her animals/location, she immediately gets aggressive and mean and blocks you and transfers out the animal evidence. She is best friends with Kaycee at Bunny Puffs Exotic Refuge in TN who similarly gets defensive, even when spreading false information and letting animals die in her care rather than vet them. Vetting mentality for both is to do it in their house. Most rabbits from Alex in IN get transferred to Chelsea with Bun Bun Brigade in KY or many have gone to MO to Dolly’s Dream Home Rabbit Rescue. Dolly’s is great. Bun Bun Brigade is questionable. Cages stacked high there. The Pipsqueakery is run out of the home of the address sent to you. Suspected animal abuse, torture, neglect, hoarding, and flipping. Plus National IRS fraud. Tons of exotic animals inside the house and they commingle and spread dangerous communicable diseases. Rabbits are then sent out with coccidia, pasteurella, etc. but they refuse to disclose this.

3409 S McDougal Ct Bloomington, IN Animal hoarding, flipping, neglect, and torture. Hundreds in and out continually and acting as a rescue, The Pipsqueakery, which is crossing state lines with animals continually and fundraising like crazy. There are tons of exotic animals in the house. The types of animals are continually changing as they take in and send out so many regularly. She said in the last week or so that it was borderline cruelty bc all the animals either in warrens or stacked in cages because no room. The animals are not well taken care of at all. There is also a family property being used. Unsure of the location. Possible national fraud going on with fundraising, also, having taken in half-million in donations last year but spending hundreds on transports to get animals out. Possible torture, experimenting, and illegal “vetting” happening in the house as well.

Grey and white pit bull mix is wandering on Lindbergh between 11th & 12th st. I believe he lives in apartments on 11th east of Lindbergh. This is not the first time it's happened.
