Benjamin Wolter, the person who lives at this address, is running an unlicensed dog pet sitting and training business from his home. The photo posted is taken from their business Facebook “Emerald Isle Canine” and is the inside of his garage. The brown door you see in the photo leads to a back room of the garage where the dogs are crated. I am submitting this report because I am concerned for the safety of these dogs spending time in an unlicensed and un-inspected garage. I have personally been to this place but am submitting anonymously because the owner, Benjamin Wolter, has a documented legal history of harassment so I am scared to attach my name to this complaint. Please look into this

This evening, 6/22/20, approximately 7:30pm, my wife, 9 yr old aughter and I were walking on the streets in our neighborhood (Grandview), when an off leash pit bull charged and tried to attack our 10 month old English Springer. The pit bull was , again, off leash and it’s owner did not have any control of this animal. Somehow, the pit bull kept narrowly missing in its attack of our puppy but knocked me down during the melee. This could have had bad outcomes. Our other dog, a 4-yr old female Springer, was also walking with us, not to mention my daughter and wife. I and my family were quite shaken up. I’d like Animal Control to talk to the pit bull owner. Their address is 3620 E Grandview Dr, Bloomington 47408. Being attacked on the street is dangerous. That dog should not be off leash and able to charge at people and their dogs on public streets. We have an older population in our neighborhood. Only by grace did my dogs and family not get hurt.

This van was parked outside my building from at least 9pm (12/11) till sometime after 5am (12/12) on. we thought we had heard dogs in the car a little after nine and went to check it out and couldn’t hear anything. Around 3:20am we heard them again and found that they were in this car and had been since the car was parked. The police arrived and the dogs weren’t barking so they wouldn’t do any thing . It was 30 degrees last night and we have no way of knowing what kind of condition they were in however leaving them caged in a car in 30 degree weather is cruel. This car regularly parks here and the owner is unknown to me. The license plate is GW5522 and it’s a white dodge grand caravan with FDSA stickers above the gas cap
