I was attacked by three deer while walking my 17 yr. old dog. It was in the vicinity of Maxwell and Highland. This is not the first time and I am extremely upset that the city is doing nothing about this public nuisance.
A small grey and white dog is regularly let out with no supervision and no leash. It runs back and forth across the street and has chased several neighbors. It's barking constantly when it's out. A neighbor just east of the location is calling it Smokey and seems to know who it belongs to.
On Sunday evening I caught some photos of a loose dog on Southdowns between Manor and Hawthorne. The dog is frequently out on its own and tends to stay within that block roughly. It lives in a red house on Southdowns. My main concern is that this Sunday I was on a walk and observed the dog almost get hit by two vehicles in the road, I had to re-route my walk with my dog because this dog was at-large with an unknown temperament, and the dog also went to the bathroom in the grass by the creek without being cleaned up by the owners (due to being oblivious to where their dog was at the time). Is there anything that can be done to try to keep the dog safe and other drivers and pedestrians safe too? Thanks.
This is a follow up to a neighbor's dog attacking and killing our pet cat on the afternoon of 9/15 at 2956 N Bankers Dr (my address, my property, and the location where the dog killed the cat). Two animal control officers came and took a statement from me on 9/16 based upon a complaint filed by the pet owner (Lucas Burks, I believe), and I just wanted to get a complaint in, as well, from the perspective of the person whose pet was killed in an aggressive and brutal attack. To quickly describe the incident, around 3PM on 9/15 I noticed a commotion outside our house on our back deck and realized the pitbull or pitbull-type dog (Junior) from the property adjacent (2950 N Bankers) chasing our pet cat, Olga. I ran outside in time to see the dog pull the cat down from the side of the house, trying to attack it. I intervened by first trying to separate the animal (briefly successful) by putting a kayak in-between them. Unfortunately, the dog evaded the obstacle and took the cat into its jaws. I began shouting and physically intervening in trying to stop the mauling, but was ultimately unsuccessful. As soon as it became apparent the cat was beyond the point of survival, I ceased contact with the dog and called the the owner of the adjacent property, Margaret (Peg) Sutton. Reg arrived while the dog was still gripping the dead cat in its jaws. She tried to get the dog to disengage by spraying it with our hose, but the dog simply took the cat further away in the yard. Peg then asked to use my cell phone to call her son (Lucas Burks), who she indicated was the actual dog owner. I lent her my cell phone and went inside to call my partner, Alison Baum, who came home from work early to bury Olga. While I was gone, Peg managed to separate the dog from Olga’s carcass, and exited our property. My understanding is her son Lucas arrived shortly thereafter and took the dog to the vet for injuries sustained in the battle. I want to say that I am deeply hurt and upset about the loss of Olga in such a brutal fashion. I attempted to defend our pet’s life on our own property, and I failed. I have two children who are upset and afraid to go outside in case Junior is around. And I’m afraid Junior, having had a bad interaction with me, will view me as a direct threat. I wish no further escalation with our neighbor and her son, and I only ask that the dog Junior never be allowed or present anywhere near our property going forward. Please let me know if I can provide any additional information at all. Chris Franke
On Saturday September 10th my boyfriend (Bryan Castillo) took my dog Willie to get a bath and groom at House of Paws (aka Pawsitive Grooming, Daisy's Darling Dogs) with Shena as scheduled the day before. At 3:26 pm I received a call that there was an incident with my dog. I was told that she had a small cut that was not bleeding and if they should just hold my dog down and keep grooming or I can come in and hold her down to finish. After the call Bryan Castillo and I went over there to get our dog. When we arrived the groomer brought Willie out, when we saw the cut we were in shock. There was a 2-3 inch laceration between Willie's stomach and leg. The staff was blaming Willie for the incident. The groomers were negligent in handling Willie. We had to drive an 72 miles to the nearest urgent vet at 14069 Mundy Dr, Fischer, Indiana. Our dog received several stables to close the wound.
2 dogs at 121 Roundtree Ct Ellettsville. Both dogs look like they haven't eaten in weeks. 1 dog is a black dog. She is so skinny you can see the rib bones and the 2nd dog is a husky. He is left in his crate all day. From the outside of the property you can smell cat urine. There are 2-3 cats in the basement urinating on everything. It is a terrible smell and horrible to see dogs and cats in such conditions. Homeowners/pet owners are Andrew and Christina Ward.
